Just found about about this band.
An album from 1972.
Mother's Finest avant la lettre

Lead singer Olivia Favela was also their drummer!
Very impressive all girl band

In all honesty: I knew two or three tracks from them and the fact that they are always mentioned as "the all-girl band before The Runaways" in Runaways bios. Of course, this is music, while The Runaways were ... let's just say they were art!
