No one has mentioned Christina Martinez of Boss Hog (together with her husband Jon Spencer). I think that she's been in other bands (as has her husband).

There are plenty of "women in rock" that get no press while there are plenty of woman singers who don't sing rock and roll that get bio-ed in "women in rock" profiles. There are disco divas, soul singers, country artists, etc. All find and dandy but it ain't rock and roll.

And as someone else mentioned, the old rockabilly performers of the 1950s are still playing out live and never get a word of press. I caught Wanda Jackson and was happy to hear her sing "Funnel of Love".

I just googled Christina Martinez, and what I found out was that Boss Hogg was fronted by her and Jon Spencer, her husband, and that it's a NYC noise rock band. And I saw pix, she's very attractive.
