be... Cocteau Twins, Curve, Cowboy Junkies, Lush, Mazzy Star, Belly (and of
course Throwing Muses), the Breeders (and also the song "Gigantic" by the
Pixies, sung by Breeders co-founder Kim Deal), Falling Joys, Juliana Hatfield 3
, Velocity Girl, Tsunami, The Sundays, The Cranberries, My Bloody Valentine
(although I guess one can't call their vocals "lead vocals").
DISCLAIMER: I know I've left off a lot, and before any flames come my way,
I've just provided a list, and not my judgements, about the more accessible
groups around which might serve as a good starting point for someone jumping
into female-led bands. In fact, I do not particularly care for some of the
bands I have listed, but people have found those bands to be to their own
liking, so I listed them anyway (Sorry, but I just don't want to start yet
another "Band X SUCKS!!!!!" thread)

well, I'd plug the Sundays again even though someone's already mentioned
them. Dunno what you mean by 'kick ass music', but Sonic Youth has the
occasional female vocal from Kim Gordon.
Also, if anyone has the chance, check out Troy, NY locals TINA WARD AND THE
MATTERBABIES. If I had to describe them, I'd say it was a folksy blend
of the Judybats and 10000 Maniacs.

The absolute best are:
1. The Sugarcubes
Bjork, the Icelandic Goddess, ruler of humankind, sings on the
Sugarcubes 3 brilliant albums. She also has a solo album out now, called
"Debut." All four are brilliant. Start with "Life's Too Good."
2. The Sundays
Led by the incredible voice of Harriet Wheeler, the Sundays two
albums, "reading, writing and arithmetic" and "Blind" are both
incredible. Start with "reading." You'll LOVE IT.

Ideas expressed in this posting probably come from some combination of reading

Listening to too much James Brown and The Clash probably hasn't helped either.

Sounds cool. Too bad I live in Dayton, Ohio. Are they signed yet?
Unfortunately, no one like that is from or around Dayton. No, that's
not fair. Have you heard of Over the Rhine? there a band from
Cinncinatti with a more REM type of sound. The female vocals are an
added plus.

I like the Matterbabies a lot. Unfortunately, they're still local
and only have one EP out, and one forthcoming...but if you want to
be on their mailing list, or a copy of the cassette, drop me an enote

Being a fellow Daytonian (sucks, don't it?), I think it's not fair
to say we don't have any cool bands starting up around here.
The Breeders are a homegrown group... Brainiac is awesome, and
just about to make it big (unfortunately), IMO... Guided by Voices
ain't bad, either. And look out for Barabbas (formerly Blue Kid)
in the months to come...
It's not much, but it's OK. Usually I can find one band every weekend
that I want to see.

I saw Over The Rhine open for Squeeze here in Salt Lake City a couple months
ago, and was extraordinarly impressed. Hunted down their CD, and the studio
work is a lot different; their live show packs a LOT more power. The
description you gave was pretty good.. my immediate impression was that the
album sounded a lot like a clone of The Innocence Mission. However, since
TIM is simply incredible, that's not a bad thing!
I'd be interested in seeing Over The Rhine again.. does anyone know if their
still touring? and dates? And does anyone know what's happened to The
Innocence Mission?

You should go about 45 minutes west on I-70 to Richmond, IN the home of
Tom Raper. There's durn good music there- a hardcore country band called
Beertruck. (Sorry, no female vocals there, though).

Good All Over records BUT ME I FELL DOWN by D Q E . They're an Atlanta
band who just broke up, but the same singer/guitarist is now in a band
called Red Cloud. They aren't just a female lead-singer band, they are a
female lead singer and female lead guitarist and female songwriter band
(not a Riot Girl band).

apparently broke up recently. One record is out on C/Z records and the
other "Numb" is on A&M. They are both amazing.
Also Watch for indie releases this summer by the LIZ BAND and DARSHIVA this
summer. They'll probably be distributed in Canada but the States may be a
different problem.

I definitely agree with these two, and I'd add the Blake Babies (does this
count?) and Eve's Plum (who I will have the good fortune of seeing in
about 4 or 5 hours). I'd also add Lush, and perhaps Curve as well.

I haven't seen anybody mention the following bands with female
leads. This are 2 of my favorite bands.
L7
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Just my $0.02.
Beth
John Taylor [The Banshee]
The early releases of Siouxsie & the Banshees are the best ("The Scream" is
one of my favorites, followed by the 1st compilation album "Once Upon a Time"
and "Tinderbox" and Kaleidoscope")
Also worth tracking down (all on CD):
Australian "indie" bands - may be hard to get overseas:
Falling Joys
Clouds (not exactly "kick-ass" but good indie rock)
The Plums (only 2 EPs so far)
Splinter (1 off EP - "Strange Parade")
Scarecrow Tiggy (hard to get - but pretty cheap CD @ AUS$20!)
The Catherine Wheel (not to be confused with the UK? band of the same name)
Overseas:
Belly (probably mentioned many times already - great music!)
The Darling Buds
Juliana Hatfield (and The Juliana Hatfield Three)
Fuzzbox ("Boston Steve Austin" is the best - "Big Band!" is too ordinary)
In a softer vein are the following:
Cocteau Twins (my all time favourite band)
The Sundays
Single Gun Theory (from Australia)
Frente! (from Australia)
The Cranberries
Swallow (on the 4AD label - CDs "Blow" and "Blowback" (temporary release))
Enya
That's about all I've got...

Bjork did two LP's for a group called Kukl (the Icelandic word for Sorcery).
The band featured the durmmer and trumpet player for he drummer and trumpet
player for what would later be the SugarCube. They had
two albums, Kukl and Holidays in Europe, both released on Crass Records in
England
I wish I could say I knew what the dates of release were. Great, weird stuff
tho
though!

Well, if you're going to bring up Enya, what about Clannad? There's also
a band out of Boston called Come (I think) fronted by a female.

It depends upon your definition of "kick ass". :o)
One of my favourites is New Zealand's "Headless Chickens", they have male and
female vocalists, depending upon the song.
Cheers!

I recommend the Breeders, Concrete Blonde, Belly, L7, X, and Bjork.
All have great singers with different variations of Kick Ass music to
go with.

Scott Ulrey
what she is doing these days??
i also think sinead has a wonderful voice, i don't know about kick ass music, i think a
couple of mary's danish songs REally rock.

Gregg Le Blanc
are really really good! There is also a male lead too, but he doesn't
sing as often as she (Joan Jones) does.

I am of the ethereal/goth school, so the groups I name may be relentlessly
pretty, as one publication called the Sundays, or downright bone-chilling.
But no screechers a la Janis Joplin...
Shelleyan Orphan
Sundays (these two bands have a spunky young-sounding vocals, very pretty)
Moon Seven Times (soothing, like Cowboy Junkies with more voice than throat)
Cocteau Twins (this singer is DEXTROUS...very creative!!)
Opium Den (spooky sometimes soaring, sometimes whispering)
Mazzy Star (amazing voice, very emotional...or not)
His Name Is Alive (sweet vocals accompanied by strange, but not entirely
unconventional music)
Dead Can Dance (very scary lyrics, sometimes old medieval songs)
Those are my faves, at any rate...and if anyone else has recommendations,
please, post 'em! I'm a sucker for female singers.

x-ray spex. Poly Styrene is the greatest singer of all time.
followed closely by Penelope Houston of the Avengers
and Texicala Jones from Tex and the Horseheads.

and I recommend Bjork, The Sugarcubes (with Bjork), Belly, The
Cranberries, Eleven, Melissa Etheridge, Juliana Hatfield, Blake
Babies, Indigo Girls, Sass Jordan, Cocteau Twins, Sinead O'Connor,
Sonic Youth, Sunscreem, This Mortal Coil, and Hazel O'Connor. I am
sure that some of these are repeated but I jsut took them from my CD
rack. Anyways, just some thoughts.
Peace,

Hey Jackal, speaking of Bjork, where is she from? And what's the matter with
her? Have you guys seen her in her last video on that truck cruising the
city... there's something in her eyes when she looks away, towards the end
of the video... like she's really messed up in the head or something, but
not from drugs or anything... makes you wonder. She still sings and looks
adorable, though.
