Being an all Girl Band in a male dominated business is tough.  It’s taken years of trailblazing by acts like the Go Go’s, The Runaways, The Bangles, and of course Coldplay, to give all girl rock bands the legitimacy they deserve.  Woman can be great musicians and rock with the hardest of men.  But I bet Vixen never had it as tough as The Burka Band from Kabul Rock City in the Islamic land of Afghanistan.  In a place that maintains laws against Women working, getting an Education, and showing an ankle, I’m sure starting an all girl rock band must be a challenge.  Some more Fundamentalist elements may believe these women should be stoned to death(with actual stones not like Layne Staley).  These ladies may be risking their lives just to plug in and play.  I guess a water bottle or toilet paper roll isn’t so bad, rightAxl?  Then again, how do we know if they really are Women?

  1. The song is burka-rific, catchy, but not seeing their faces makes it burka-creepy…
