SONGS of SUMMER 2020: WIPEOUT Ah summer, the sound of sandy beaches, tasty peaches, children laughing making sand castles, sitting in summer traffic hassles, and the air thick with smells of salty sea air, Coppertone #2 tanning oil and shiny blonde hair, experienced through an overused wet hospital mask and hazmat suit. Summer… Read more »

Somehow or another,… Read more »

Welcome to our first FEMMES OF ROCK blog! We’re extremely excited about our new website and we hope you are, too. The popularity of the group is (happily) growing at a rate we never expected so we’re a little behind with many responsibilities. Consistent updates to the website, blog, photos, videos, tour dates and more will be our top priority.
First off, we want to thank everyone who has been coming to our shows in the US and Canada. It’s been an amazing year or so since the band was officially solidified. We’re looking forward to this upcoming US summer tour, which begins mid-July.
