Frightwig's 1987 Concert Photos

FRIGHTWIG was an all-women band similar in sound to the punk band Flipper. They were located in San Francisco, California and often played at The Farm. Though they predated the riot grrl movement, they have a similar approach and were influential to its development. For example, they were known for inviting a male audience member on stage to “dance” during the song “A Man’s Gotta Do What a Man’s Gotta Do” and thereby publicly ridiculing him.
