A friend gave me a video about women in rock in the USA and it featured this really '70s kick-ass band, "Fanny". I thought, hmm mukhang Pinay yung dalawa dun ha... so I googled them and YES, they are Pinays and sisters too!
June Millington (guitar, vocals), Jean Millington (bass, vocals) - mga taga-Maynila!
These blew my socks off: Fanny was the first all-female band to be signed by a major record label. And from a fan site; "Some of the biggest music stars of the time, from David Bowie to Deep Purple to George Harrison to the Kinks, were so blown away by these four teenaged rockers that they went out of their way to promote the band and to book them as an opening act."
There were 2 Filipinas in this awesome band. They paved the way for the all-girl bands today.
