Psychobilly and Rockabilly has always pretty much been the domain of men, face it this is a fact! Songs are generally written about women and not by women or women were hangers on in the scene and generally regarded as groupies however, over the years there have been some noteable female fronted bands rocking the scene just as good, if not better than their male counterparts.
I`m not listing these acts in any particular order of relevance or period and this is only a small selection of bands that I currently like. I`m just providing you some proof that there are women out there who can rock a double bass or wail just as good as P. Paul Fenech, Sparky, Pip, Elvis, etc and a stepping stone for you to discover and search out more female fronted rockin bands and bands that feature talented female musicians!!
