| FRIGIDETTES |
Linda Abrahamian-vocals
Gina Arnold-guitar
Corrine Diaz-drums
Cathy Pilobos-bass
Together for only a year or so ['81-'82] this all-girl lineup got to play some cool gigs and
really helped the Fresno scene get started. Corrine and Gina started jamming together
and Linda was going to play keyboards but decided to sing instead. Cathy was added
on bass and they had a band. They had a new wave influence but were punk enough
to get on the MRR comp. Punky anti-war lyrics. The idea for their name came from a
British all-girl punk band called the MODETTES and Frigidaire refrigerators. Cute idea.
The WRECKS from Reno, an all-girl punk band who was also on the MRR Notsoquiet
Comp played here in 'Fresno in 81 and the FRIGIDETTES were gigging at the time.
There was a great party with the two girl bands.
I heard from Linda a couple years ago. She's living in L.A. Gina emailed recently with
an update. She's a paralegal here in Fresburg.
Corrine is back in town after living in S.F. and Monterrey for 13 years. Cathy is an
attorney in San Francisco.
At a recent TOXIC SHOCK reunion gig at the Starline Club three of the FRIGIDETTES
were there working the crowd up into some vintage thrashing. Linda, Cathy and Gina
had a great time seeing some of the old friends from the Fresno punk scene. Wish I
woulda been there. I wonder if there's a FRIGIDETTES reunion gig in the works?
