A real original. She was making music before Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde... hell, before everyone! She was originally born in Poland, escaping the holocaust and moving to New York's lower east side. She led Goldie and The Gingerbreads, and was in Ten Wheel Drive until 1971, when she started making her own solo albums. She's still never recieved her due.
Even if you've never heard her music, you should know who Genya Ravan is.
Joplin has nothing on Genya.

A musical group consisting of females, or mostly females. A chick bands can only play rock music, if not, it's not a chick band.
Here are some chick band traits:
Their hair is usually messy. This is to insure that they are tough.
They wish they had a rough life. Most of the time they don't. (They usually say something like: their father left them when they were little girls).
They often complain about sexism. The real reason they get little respect is because they're not talented in the first place.
These bands usually play Fender and Gibson guitars, mostly playing power chords.
Chick bands write "THEIR OWN SONGS", and sometimes cover "A FUCKING GOOD SONG". Sometimes by Kiss, Nirvana, or Guns n' Roses. The chick bands' write about their "boyfriend dumping them", "them dumping their boyfriend", and "partying all night". Maybe even about someone else, overdosing on painkillers.
The singer cannot reach a higher/lower note than their talking voice. Sometimes the singer also plays guitar at the same time.
The chicks in the band are usually butch.

Lillix and The Donnas are chick bands. Hole is not quite a chick band. Avril Lavinge has a chick band, even though she's the only chick in it.

Talented and lovely musician. Best known as the guitarist/singer of rock trio Babes In Toyland who had a little fame in the 90's. Kat has a completely unique voice, from a sweet tone to a powerful howl. She is also a kick ass guitarist, she burns grrls like Avril Lavigne and Courtney Love, who try to play agressively. Basicly invented the babydoll or kinderwhore look, which was later ripped off by Courtney Love.
Kat Bjelland be yellin' all the time.

Katharine Bjelland (pronounced "Be-yelland") Born December 8, 1963 in Salem, Oregon. Was a big part of the Minneapolis music scene in her early days. She formed the trio Babes In Toyland with herself being the singer and guitarist. Courtney Love was in the band for a very short time but Kat kicked her out... twice. Courtney went on to steal Kat's signature look and various pieces of songs/lyrics. The "Babes'" fame reached its peak around 1993, while headlining Lollapalooza. They released a number of albums from 1990 up until this day, (mostly) with rare demos, unreleased material, and live concerts (ect.) for fans everywhere to enjoy.
Babes In Toyland played sporadicly in the '90's, and Kat went on the form Katastrophy Wife in c. 2000.

DO NOT confuse Courtney Love with Kat Bjelland. Kat Bjelland is an original artist, Courtney is nothing but a drain.
Kat Bjelland is many people's hero.

Venice, California. Think of it as trying to take Coney Island's deal. The boardwalk, beach, gangs, rusting ferris wheels... And a lot of people sitting around all day, not thinking once about the real world. That's Venice.

Ex-guitarist of the rock band Hole. Made Courtney Love look like she can actually play guitar and took her shit until the group disbanded in 2002. Is still good friends with bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur.
