Today we are freeeeeeee! We are in holidays, and we can to write about any thing! In the last month I had the idea of to form a group of girls, a band with only girls, and I’ll play the bass there. But that isn’t the point. A friend said me that I should make me an habitus of bands where the integrants only be girls or where they be an important part. Thus, we began to listen to Patty Smith, Björk, Blondie, Pixies, and the band that will be my topic today: The Runaways.
The Runaways was born in 1975. This band haven’t a real formation, I mean that was created for other person. This person (I don’t remember their name) joined five girls according the product that he liked. Thus, he makes a band with a guitar of base, a soloist guitar, a bass, a drummer and a voice. Two important integrants are Joan Jett in the base guitar and Cherry Currie in the voice. This man got the perfect combination between the punk and the glam with these girls. Joan Jett was a fanatic of the punk and rock: Sex Pistols, Stooges. And Cherrie’s liked David Bowie and all the glam movement. Of this mixture was born a sound and style so interesting.
The punk as movement is very important for the moment. The slogan of the punk is “does it yourself”. These mean that you can play a guitar, bass or other instruments without to be a virtuous. You use the music for to express something real, things that you feel, the problems in your social class. One of the consequents is that the woman takes an instrument and she does it their songs. Joan Jett is the woman that writes the song in The Runaways, she is the brain.
In 1976 the band did their first disc called The Runaways, and 1976 or 1977 they did a tour by Japan. Then Cherry Currie leaves the band. Without Cherry, Joan had to sing too. For many people, The Runaways without Cherry lost their heavy style. But other thing that, without Cherry, the band enters more in the punk became to be heavier.
But, I want the judgement of the public! Here is the link with the presentation of The Runaways in Japan with Cherry in the voice singing the first song of the band “Cherry Bomb” (written by “the man”): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMDn6V7ZLhE. And here is the link with The Runaways in 1977 with Joan as voice. This song called “School Days”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz9JNDlcTgA.
I hope that my classmates say in their comments what think about this band, in specific, the contrast between this two “periods”.
