female artists

"Mama" Cass Elliot, Baroness von Wiedenman (19 September 1941 – 29 July 1974), born Ellen Naomi Cohen, was a noted American singer who performed with The Mamas & the Papas. She then went onto a successful solo career, releasing nine albums. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, she spent most of her childhood both in Baltimore and Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Elliot was widely considered the most charismatic member of the Mamas & the Papas due to her sense of humor and optimism, in part because of her large size and weight.

Glasgow band DOVES OF DISORDER are a fire-breathing, four-headed, eight-legged heavy-pop-punk machine. They formed in July 2008 after Heather (vocals), Susie (guitar/vocals) James (drums) and Barry (bass) were asked to leave a speed-dating event in their hometown – none of the band are willing to admit why they were asked to leave but rumours persist that it was due to them being "too damn sexy..."
