Play Guitar

 All-female tribute bands.  Because one night in Montréal, there was this band in the usual grubby bar, fronted by a woman with what was probably an OK voice but it sounded amazing that night, doing covers of the Stones and Zeppelin.  (Early '70s, what can I tell you?)  Most tribute bands (that I've seen) tend to replicate the personnel of the original band being honored, so dispensing with that might be very neat.

Also, I don't think "traditional" fandom only embraced wanting to be a groupie, but you know, nobody has ever asked, have they?

I completely agree. There's so much more to (any) fandom than just imitating the creator and being a "groupie".

I'm glad the article exists but when I was done I wanted to read more and not because I thought it was good writing. More can and should be said on the topic of all-female cover/ tribute bands.

I wish some of the se bands would make it out towards my area. :\
