The Curse

 

The Curse was one of at least three all-girl Punk groups based in Canada in 1977, the others being the poppy 'B' Girls, who left for New York, and the very Punky sounding Dishrags, who were originally from Victoria, British Columbia and became part of the Vancouver, B.C. punk scene from 1977 onwards. Kind of Canada's answer to The Slits, I suppose, The Curse debuted in support of local heroes The Viletones at the Crash 'N' Burn (Toronto's first Punk venue) and played with such luminaries as The Ugly and D.O.A. They were militant, dissonant, discordant, sloppy, potty-mouthed and confrontational, alienating audiences everywhere while providing the musical and lyrical blueprint for later bands like Bikini Kill. (One can easily imagine Kathleen Hanna singing "If It Tastes Go Great, Swallow It Yourself", or asking "Have you ever had your hands around the dick of an old man who wants to take you to Peru for cocaine?").
