The Dishrags - I Don’t Love You

Originally called Dee Dee and the Dishrags,
They were All were 15 years old when the band started, and are quite possibly the first all female Punk Band.
Originally from #Victora #BC

The receptionist was played by #JadeBlade the singer and Guitarist for the all girl punk band (I’ll argue first ever) #TheDishrags

#PunkSky #TheClash #MickJones

This was before their 1st ever NA concert.
They stayed a week in #Vancouver
Here, the band is playing soccer against local #Punks, before playing their show on Jan 31, 1979 at the #FabulousCommodoreBallroom
Supported by #BoDiddley & #TheDishrags

Quite possibly the first ever all female Punk band (or maybe the Slits)
Formed in Victoria BC in 76, then quickly moved to Vancouver

They opened for the #Clash on their 1st ever N.American gig in Vancouver
@ the Commodore.

Dropped by the Royal BC Museum yesterday to check out my photo of The Dishrags (Scout, Jade, Dale) used in the newly opened exhibition Beyond The Beat, Music of Resistance and Change.

#GigPoster. I didn’t attend this as I was still too young
This was the first ever Clash gig in North America. It was a warm up gig to their 1st American tour “the Pearl Harbor tour”. Opening was Bo Didley and the the local all girl band #theDishrags

Iconic all-female (and Canadian!) punk band #TheDishrags were a big inspiration in the making of #LiminalGirl (learn more on our IG page!). Three of their songs are used in the film. Tap the link in our bio to watch now and find out which ones. 💃🎶

They are arguably the first all female punk rock band, they Formed in Victoria BC then relocated to Vancouver.
On Jan 31/79 they opened for #TheClash on their first ever NA concert, even playing Londons Burning 😎

#Punksky #PunkRock #Pioneers
#WomenofPunk #TheSlits

It’s debatable on who was the first all female punk band, wether it was them or #Vancouver’s #theDishrags. Either way both are pioneers. Tip of the hat to both.
