| FRIGIDETTES |
| Together for only a year or so, starting in 1981, 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 being frigid to society's norms. 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. |
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 80s Fresno punk scene. Wish I woulda been there. I
wonder if there's a FRIGIDETTES reunion gig in the works?
