THE AVENGERS
From June of 1977 to June of 1979, The Avengers played just over 100 shows, appearing with the Sex Pistols at Winterland – that group's legendary last show, recording with Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and headlining dates with the X, the Go-Go's, and the Dead Kennedys. During their brief existence they released one 3-song 7” EP on Dangerhouse Records. A few months after they broke up the 4-song 12” EP came out on White Noise. In 1983 band members gathered together various recordings and put out a full length self-titled LP (the pink album) which has long since gone out of print and into legal limbo. As new generations of music fans discover the band, a never ending demand for recordings has spawned many bootlegs and two official releases, both collections of live and studio recordings, Died For Your Sins on Lookout! Records, in 1999; and the new American In Me CD on DBKWorks. [Y'all can get these online at the official website www.penelope.net]
... ... ... Here's a quote about the band from All Music Guide: “One of the first and finest bands to emerge from San Francisco's punk scene, the Avengers were together for only a little over two years, and they didn't release an album during their lifetime. But their passionate music and uncompromising viewpoints proved to be a major inspiration in a scene that would grow and flourish long after they broke up, and the handful of singles they left behind document a band of uncommon power and force. Just as importantly, lead singer Penelope Houston was one of the pioneering women of American punk, proving there was a place for female artists in the new music.” – Mark Deming
