(rock music)

4
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,550
- There are a lot of folks that
are joining us this evening.

5
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:42,288
It takes a lot to bring a
rock group from bottom to now.

6
00:00:43,321 --> 00:00:47,993
- We're, like, some of the first
girls who did start learning how
to play, like, five years ago,

7
00:00:48,026 --> 00:00:50,930
and there are going to be
a lot more girls after us,

8
00:00:50,963 --> 00:00:53,633
I can say that.
- That's what we're here for.

00:00:58,536 --> 00:01:01,806
(loud rock music)

10
00:01:16,388 --> 00:01:21,526
- Fanny is iconic;
truly before their time.

11
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,665
Men, for some reason,
they coveted rock & roll;

12
00:01:25,698 --> 00:01:29,035
that was theirs,
and they weren't going
to let us have it.

16
00:01:44,916 --> 00:01:48,821
- Fanny was the first all-women
rock band that could really play

17
00:01:48,855 --> 00:01:51,656
and really get some credibility
within the musician community.

18
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:55,661
(scatting)

19
00:01:57,630 --> 00:02:01,500
- Yeah, they were girls, but
they weren't wearing miniskirts
with their tits out.

20
00:02:01,533 --> 00:02:04,736
They were long-haired
with instruments.

21
00:02:04,770 --> 00:02:07,840
It's like, this is a girl
with an instrument on.

22
00:02:07,873 --> 00:02:09,941
So OK,
this is a game-changer.

23
00:02:09,975 --> 00:02:12,711
(scatting)

24
00:02:13,578 --> 00:02:14,880
- They had balls,

25
00:02:14,913 --> 00:02:16,648
which is what
Bowie was saying.

26
00:02:16,681 --> 00:02:17,916
He's like, you know,
they're just. .

27
00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:20,986
they're as good
as T. Rex or Martha Hoople

28
00:02:21,020 --> 00:02:23,455
or, you know, the Stones
or anybody, you know.

29
00:02:23,488 --> 00:02:25,858
And. . and he was right.

30
00:02:29,895 --> 00:02:32,765
- It didn't get
to the general public.

31
00:02:32,798 --> 00:02:35,935
They know about The Runaways,

32
00:02:35,968 --> 00:02:38,570
they know about The Go-Go's,
'cause they had major hits,

33
00:02:38,603 --> 00:02:40,138
which Fanny never did.

34
00:02:40,171 --> 00:02:42,375
They didn't have
that number-one hit
and the platinum records

35
00:02:42,408 --> 00:02:43,910
that the other bands had.

36
00:02:43,943 --> 00:02:45,845
But those other bands wouldn't
have had those platinum records

37
00:02:45,878 --> 00:02:47,713
if Fanny didn't open the door.

38
00:02:47,746 --> 00:02:50,850

(bell ringing)

58
00:04:24,543 --> 00:04:28,113
- It's a 1962 Precision bass.

59
00:04:28,146 --> 00:04:31,083
So it's pretty much
a collector's item
at this point.

60
00:04:34,853 --> 00:04:38,656
I think the only thing
my son wants to inherit from me
is the bass.

61
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,731
- I always have a pair of my. .
my favourite old pajamas

62
00:04:45,765 --> 00:04:48,800
are what swaddles my guitars
when they're in the cases,

63
00:04:48,833 --> 00:04:52,003
'cause I don't like them. .
I like them to be comfortable.

64
00:04:52,036 --> 00:04:55,941
Ta da,
my old friend.

65
00:04:57,543 --> 00:04:59,078
- Back in the day,

66
00:04:59,111 --> 00:05:00,846
we would load
the trailers ourselves,

67
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,883
and we never even thought about
having somebody help us do that.

68
00:05:03,916 --> 00:05:06,785
I guess
we're just hands-on chicks.

69
00:05:06,818 --> 00:05:08,820
Maybe that's the deal.

70
00:05:14,026 --> 00:05:15,928
- Hey,
the sun's coming out.

71
00:05:15,961 --> 00:05:18,096
- Yeah, man,
that's a sign.

72
00:05:18,130 --> 00:05:20,966
- It's a sign that the day's
already begun and you're still
in your pajamas.

73
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,735
- Ha-ha,
that's so funny.

74
00:05:22,768 --> 00:05:24,936
- Want to do it
from the beginning?

75
00:05:24,970 --> 00:05:26,705
- My brain knows it,

76
00:05:26,738 --> 00:05:29,241
but my body
is not minding sometimes.

77
00:05:29,275 --> 00:05:32,678
- We are recording an album
after, oh,

78
00:05:32,711 --> 00:05:34,880
45 years, 50 years,
whatever it is.

79
00:05:34,913 --> 00:05:37,148
Yeah, well,
the Rolling Stones can do it.

80
00:05:37,181 --> 00:05:40,886
Of course, they look
pretty darn ancient.

81
00:05:41,953 --> 00:05:45,090
If I had as many lines
in my face as Keith Richards,

82
00:05:45,123 --> 00:05:49,728
I don't know that we would have
been offered a record deal.

83
00:05:49,761 --> 00:05:51,030
- One, two, three.

84
00:06:04,143 --> 00:06:08,180
- Ah, you didn't do that groovy
stuff that you were just doing.

85
00:06:08,213 --> 00:06:09,815
- You said you were going
to do it.

86
00:06:09,848 --> 00:06:12,116
- No, no.
I said I was going to do
the da, da, da, da.

87
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:14,820
No, you've got to do that
groovy shit you were doing.

88
00:06:14,853 --> 00:06:17,656
I can't do it;
that's a bass thing, man.

89
00:06:17,690 --> 00:06:18,790
- OK, ready?

90
00:06:18,823 --> 00:06:20,626
- Oh, my God!
- Same place.

91
00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:21,960
Three, four.

92
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,596
- When I walked in the door,
I was with my family again.

93
00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:27,833
It was just like being home.

94
00:06:27,866 --> 00:06:30,101
They're like my sisters.

95
00:06:30,135 --> 00:06:32,971
I mean they. . you know,
I've known them
since I was sixteen.

96
00:06:33,005 --> 00:06:35,073
That's a long time.

97
00:06:42,648 --> 00:06:44,816
- Yeah, man!
(laughing)

98
00:06:44,850 --> 00:06:47,051
I know. I know.

99
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,856
- Once I was standing.
Right now, see that's what
the shit is.

100
00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:55,326
That's what I'm talking about,
right there.

101
00:06:57,328 --> 00:07:00,966
- That feeling of the three
of us coming back together
is really comfortable,

102
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,703
and I think that
it makes the music what it is.

103
00:07:04,736 --> 00:07:09,341
We're representing everything
that we've gone through

104
00:07:09,375 --> 00:07:13,145
in order to not only live
into our sixties,

105
00:07:13,178 --> 00:07:15,948
but to have learned so much,

106
00:07:15,981 --> 00:07:18,050
and acknowledge that
we're still growing.

107
00:07:18,083 --> 00:07:23,321
So when, walk,
Lord and Halcion
are the main things.

108
00:07:23,355 --> 00:07:24,990
And then the intro,

109
00:07:25,023 --> 00:07:27,091
your idea
is kind of on stone crossing,

110
00:07:27,125 --> 00:07:29,028
we're just fooling around.

111
00:07:29,061 --> 00:07:31,430
- They have this really
important legacy in my mind.

112
00:07:31,463 --> 00:07:34,433
We've got a responsibility here
not to muck this up.

113
00:07:34,466 --> 00:07:36,768
This is special.

114
00:07:36,801 --> 00:07:40,005
They're getting back together
after all this time as a band,

115
00:07:40,038 --> 00:07:42,073
and we have to do it right.

116
00:07:43,441 --> 00:07:51,383
- This is a little-known fact;
mini-pads make the best drum
dampers.

117
00:07:51,416 --> 00:07:54,420
And they come with self-stick.

118
00:07:54,453 --> 00:07:56,888
Pussy power secrets.

119
00:08:01,126 --> 00:08:03,095
Look at that.

120
00:08:04,263 --> 00:08:06,765
- Yeah.
- The pick sounds awesome.

121
00:08:06,798 --> 00:08:08,400
- Not too big,
but super punchy.

122
00:08:08,433 --> 00:08:10,736
- I love that.
It was very punchy.

123
00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:15,073
- When I think of Fanny,
I think that they were just kind
of a gutsy rock & roll band

124
00:08:15,106 --> 00:08:18,376
from a very gutsy rock & roll
time in musical history.

125
00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,711
That was one of the more
exciting parts about it,

126
00:08:20,745 --> 00:08:22,781
is it was like a sort
of blank canvas,

127
00:08:22,815 --> 00:08:25,751
but a blank canvas that
was gonna take paint really,
really well.

128
00:08:25,785 --> 00:08:28,320
- Check it out, remember,
you have to accommodate
the mics and the girls.

129
00:08:28,353 --> 00:08:29,853
- And the people, yeah.

130
00:08:29,886 --> 00:08:32,758
- Yeah. So I'd rather have
two straight stands
that just come up to here.

131
00:08:32,791 --> 00:08:35,460
I just think it's really great
that they're doing
another record

132
00:08:35,493 --> 00:08:38,096
and I get to be
a part of it. And my mom,

133
00:08:38,130 --> 00:08:40,398
I mean, she's been playing
the bass, the same bass.

134
00:08:40,431 --> 00:08:43,401
June plays the same guitar
through the same amps.

135
00:08:43,435 --> 00:08:46,071
And for me, like, as soon
as the sounds happen,

136
00:08:46,105 --> 00:08:48,806
it's like I'm a little child
again.

137
00:08:56,348 --> 00:08:59,951
- See,
girls were supposed to ask
permission to do anything.

138
00:08:59,985 --> 00:09:02,821
There were no girl bands
that we knew of, really,

139
00:09:02,855 --> 00:09:04,523
who were doing
what we were doing.

140
00:09:04,556 --> 00:09:09,395
And we brought the example
of girls doing it
despite everything.

141
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:16,968
- Jean is my little sister,

142
00:09:17,001 --> 00:09:18,970
and we grew up
in the Philippines.

143
00:09:19,003 --> 00:09:20,873
Born to a Filipina mom

144
00:09:20,906 --> 00:09:25,778
and an American dad who was
from Burlington, Vermont.

145
00:09:26,545 --> 00:09:30,148
When we moved to California
in June of '61,

146
00:09:30,181 --> 00:09:33,118
racism was the
first thing I encountered.

147
00:09:33,151 --> 00:09:36,555
We're brown and nobody knows
where the Philippines is.

148
00:09:36,588 --> 00:09:40,358
And many times when I felt
worthless and unseen

149
00:09:40,391 --> 00:09:45,163
and challenged to be a. .
you know, a human being. .

150
00:09:46,098 --> 00:09:49,335
I think my first vulnerability
is feeling invisible.

151
00:09:50,903 --> 00:09:53,838
It was really difficult for us

152
00:09:53,871 --> 00:09:58,510
in the beginning because
we really felt so excluded.

153
00:09:58,543 --> 00:10:00,311
In high school,

154
00:10:00,345 --> 00:10:01,980
I had a boyfriend,

155
00:10:02,013 --> 00:10:03,881
and his father had said,

156
00:10:03,915 --> 00:10:08,286
"I'll buy you a Mustang
if you stop seeing
that half-breed girl. "

157
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,525
I just had no idea that kind of
prejudice existed.

158
00:10:12,558 --> 00:10:16,028
And he did:
He dropped me for a Mustang.

159
00:10:19,196 --> 00:10:21,266
- I grew up in a small town.

160
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:25,170
We were the only
non-white family.

161
00:10:25,203 --> 00:10:28,973
My very first boyfriend - well,
sixteen-year-old love -

162
00:10:29,006 --> 00:10:30,575
and he came over
and he said,

163
00:10:30,608 --> 00:10:32,611
"I'm not supposed
to see you anymore. !

164
00:10:32,645 --> 00:10:34,413
I said, "Well, why?"

165
00:10:34,446 --> 00:10:37,916
He said,
"Because you're not white. "
And I had no idea.

166
00:10:37,950 --> 00:10:39,485
I had never heard that before,

167
00:10:39,518 --> 00:10:41,920
because this is my home.

168
00:10:43,021 --> 00:10:45,891
What's with not making somebody
feel welcome,

169
00:10:45,925 --> 00:10:48,393
or feel like
they don't belong?

170
00:10:48,426 --> 00:10:50,628
You know, why. .

171
00:10:50,661 --> 00:10:53,231
why make people
feel like, you know,

172
00:10:53,265 --> 00:10:55,500
that you shouldn't go out
with their son
because you're not white?

173
00:10:55,533 --> 00:11:00,405

184
00:11:33,471 --> 00:11:36,675
The Philippine culture,
Filipinos,

185
00:11:36,708 --> 00:11:41,346
are one of the most
musical cultures in the world.

186
00:11:41,380 --> 00:11:44,450
Jean and I are self-taught
musicians.

187
00:11:44,483 --> 00:11:49,355
We played ukuleles and we
learned pop songs off the radio.

188
00:11:49,388 --> 00:11:52,958
- We had been playing together,
and evolving and singing,

189
00:11:52,991 --> 00:11:56,128
and we decided that we wanted
to perform in the uh,

190
00:11:56,161 --> 00:11:58,596
variety show
at the junior high.

191
00:11:58,630 --> 00:12:00,565
You know,
and all of a sudden,

192
00:12:00,598 --> 00:12:03,235
we were somebody
and people talked to us.

193
00:12:03,268 --> 00:12:05,971
It was just amazing.
So we thought, "Ah-ha!"

194
00:12:06,005 --> 00:12:07,640
that's our doorway.

195
00:12:08,706 --> 00:12:11,043
- We just loved the Beatles,

196
00:12:11,076 --> 00:12:12,476
we loved
the Beach Boys,

197
00:12:12,510 --> 00:12:14,380
and we started
just doing cover tunes.

198
00:12:14,413 --> 00:12:17,315
And eventually, we started
getting the gigs.

199
00:12:20,685 --> 00:12:23,621
- The interesting thing
about the Svelts back then,

200
00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:27,993
is that they could play
the women's Motown songs
that the guys couldn't.

201
00:12:28,026 --> 00:12:30,428
And that had a huge effect on. .

202
00:12:30,461 --> 00:12:33,231
that's one of the things that
really, really set them apart.

203
00:12:33,265 --> 00:12:36,101
And then of course, during
the summertime they would play
in the backyard.

204
00:12:36,135 --> 00:12:39,003
I remember many, many occasions
that they would be practicing,

205
00:12:39,036 --> 00:12:42,473
and hundreds of people
would come gather around
and watch them.

206
00:12:42,506 --> 00:12:44,676
- This was our hangout.

207
00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:47,345
The Svelts: This is
where it all started.

208
00:12:47,378 --> 00:12:49,581
This is where we practiced,
right back here.

209
00:12:49,615 --> 00:12:51,650
- Used to be a wooden fence,

210
00:12:51,683 --> 00:12:54,018
and there was little slats
in the fence,

211
00:12:54,051 --> 00:12:57,155
and I would watch them
like this.

212
00:12:57,188 --> 00:13:01,126
Well, it was the first girl
band I'd ever seen.
(laughter)

213
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,328
- Because we weren't supposed
to play that kind of music,

214
00:13:03,361 --> 00:13:06,031
or those instruments.
And that was the fun of it,

215
00:13:06,065 --> 00:13:09,333
was just materializing something
that was considered impossible,

216
00:13:09,366 --> 00:13:11,270
and almost illegal.
- Yeah.

217
00:13:11,303 --> 00:13:14,340
- How fun is that?
- It was awesome.
(laughter)

218
00:13:18,276 --> 00:13:20,345
- When I joined June and Jean,

219
00:13:20,378 --> 00:13:22,346
we were all Filipina.

220
00:13:23,415 --> 00:13:25,683
I wasn't particularly popular
in school,

221
00:13:25,716 --> 00:13:28,286
so when I found
music and bands,

222
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,056
rock & roll bands, and then
I found the girls,

223
00:13:31,090 --> 00:13:33,491
it was like
I had a purpose.

224
00:13:33,525 --> 00:13:36,428
That became my tribe;
it was everything.

225
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:44,803
- Being in a rock band gave us
a place to belong.

226
00:13:44,836 --> 00:13:46,805
We were all different together,

227
00:13:46,838 --> 00:13:49,373
and I think that made
a big difference for me.

228
00:13:49,406 --> 00:13:52,543
It gave me somebody to be.

229
00:13:52,576 --> 00:13:57,115
- Sometimes we would have three
and four shows in a weekend.

230
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:01,720
- They were ferocious.
(chuckling)

231
00:14:01,753 --> 00:14:05,490
This wasn't, you know,
standing around being cute.

232
00:14:05,523 --> 00:14:10,228
So, you could really admire
their work ethic,
which was visible.

233
00:14:10,261 --> 00:14:13,265
You could see how hard
they worked at this.

234
00:14:13,298 --> 00:14:18,670
- My father had helped us
refurbish a school bus.

235
00:14:18,703 --> 00:14:23,308
And so we travelled in that
with all our equipment
in the back,

236
00:14:23,341 --> 00:14:24,776
you know,
and the whole thing,

237
00:14:24,810 --> 00:14:27,211
and we were able
to somewhat sleep in the bus.

238
00:14:27,245 --> 00:14:31,683
- We would just book ourselves
all weekend
because we were in school.

239
00:14:31,716 --> 00:14:34,786
- There's a shot of us
on the beach

240
00:14:34,820 --> 00:14:38,156
in these outfits we used
to call the Tahitian in 1968,

241
00:14:38,190 --> 00:14:40,825
and I was already pregnant
at the time.

242
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,096
- I played until I was about
five and a half,
six months pregnant.

243
00:14:46,130 --> 00:14:48,666
I was sick as a dog.

244
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:51,203
In between songs,
I'd be throwing up.

245
00:14:51,236 --> 00:14:52,770
Of course, I would hide it
from the audience,

246
00:14:52,803 --> 00:14:56,341
but I was so sick for the first,
I guess, few months, yeah.

247
00:14:56,375 --> 00:15:00,078
It was tough,
but we kept playing.

248
00:15:01,413 --> 00:15:04,850
- The choice came down
to whether or not

249
00:15:04,883 --> 00:15:08,486
to take a birth control pill
that would end the pregnancy.

250
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,490
I stood over the toilet
and thought about it
and then I flushed it.

251
00:15:11,523 --> 00:15:14,158
And that was my decision.

252
00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:20,198
I had my daughter
in the November of '68.

253
00:15:25,403 --> 00:15:27,671
- Losing Brie was a real blow,

254
00:15:27,705 --> 00:15:30,341
because we were all having
such a hard time

255
00:15:30,375 --> 00:15:32,810
just keeping a band together.

256
00:15:32,843 --> 00:15:35,646
And for me and Jean,
it was the hardest.

257
00:15:37,615 --> 00:15:40,185
Life for her continued
in whatever way,

258
00:15:40,218 --> 00:15:43,555
and we were completely
traumatized on our side,
you know,

259
00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:45,723
going on the road
without a drummer.

260
00:15:47,491 --> 00:15:49,561
- That's when I joined the band.

261
00:15:49,595 --> 00:15:53,198
So I took over for Brie.
I was seventeen.

262
00:15:53,231 --> 00:15:55,533
It was hard work,
really hard work.

263
00:15:55,566 --> 00:15:57,903
But when you're young
and you're having fun

264
00:15:57,936 --> 00:16:00,671
and you're. . you're working
hard for a goal,

265
00:16:00,705 --> 00:16:05,543
it doesn't seem
to be as hard work
as you think it's going to be.

266
00:16:05,576 --> 00:16:07,345
It was fun.

267
00:16:07,378 --> 00:16:09,346
Rock & roll is fun.

268
00:16:09,380 --> 00:16:11,316
♪ Ooh baby ♪

269
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:14,185
♪ I can make you run. . ♪

270
00:16:14,218 --> 00:16:16,721
- When we went to L. A. , we had
decided we were either

271
00:16:16,755 --> 00:16:18,890
going to get
a recording contract,

272
00:16:18,923 --> 00:16:21,626
or we were going to give it up
and go back to school.

273
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:31,703
- At the time,
we had a woman manager,

274
00:16:31,736 --> 00:16:34,640
and she went down
to L. A. and she uh,

275
00:16:34,673 --> 00:16:37,241
was able to set up this night
at the Troubadour,

276
00:16:37,275 --> 00:16:40,711
which was not, like,
a performance per se,
it was open mic night.

277
00:16:40,745 --> 00:16:42,948
And that was important for us,

278
00:16:42,981 --> 00:16:45,883
because they never
would have considered
putting an all-girl band

279
00:16:45,916 --> 00:16:48,686
even to open
for someone unknown.

280
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,491
- I was working for Richard
Perry at Warner Brothers.

281
00:16:53,525 --> 00:16:57,595
So, I just always looked
for artists that I thought
would be good.

282
00:16:57,628 --> 00:17:00,731
And Richard asked me to go
to the Troubadour.

00:17:09,741 --> 00:17:12,743

287
00:17:18,950 --> 00:17:21,620
- When Fanny came up,

288
00:17:21,653 --> 00:17:23,721
it was just. . it was electric.

289
00:17:23,755 --> 00:17:26,791
They had so much charisma.
I was overwhelmed.

290
00:17:26,825 --> 00:17:29,426
I just thought, this,
you know,

291
00:17:29,460 --> 00:17:32,663
this band is Richard's;
it's got to be Richard's.

292
00:17:35,866 --> 00:17:39,638
He produced Fats Domino,
Ella Fitzgerald.

293
00:17:39,671 --> 00:17:44,643
He just had an eye
for their talent.

294
00:17:45,910 --> 00:17:48,580
- They put out a lot of energy,

295
00:17:48,613 --> 00:17:52,750
and June was
a real ball of fire.

296
00:17:52,783 --> 00:17:56,788
- I was immediately taken with
their musicianship,

297
00:17:56,821 --> 00:18:00,658
and the maturity
that they displayed.

298
00:18:00,691 --> 00:18:04,295
They seemed to be very dedicated
and serious

299
00:18:04,328 --> 00:18:08,633
about what they wanted to do
and what their goals were.

300
00:18:08,666 --> 00:18:11,970
- And uh, that was it: Richard
wanted to sign us.

301
00:18:13,571 --> 00:18:16,708
- When we were casting about
for the name of the band,

302
00:18:16,741 --> 00:18:20,345
we wanted a name
that could be recognized

303
00:18:20,378 --> 00:18:22,946
and was, you know,
was quite distinctive,

304
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:24,783
and short
and to the point.

305
00:18:24,816 --> 00:18:26,751
And we came up
with the name Fanny.

306
00:18:26,785 --> 00:18:29,520
We thought it was a really
wonderful name.

307
00:18:36,995 --> 00:18:40,331
- We put signs around Hollywood,
L. A. ,

308
00:18:40,365 --> 00:18:44,368
you know, Southern California:
"Looking for a keyboard player. "

309
00:18:44,401 --> 00:18:46,738
We finally got Nickey.

310
00:18:49,808 --> 00:18:51,776
- Once we got the record deal,

311
00:18:51,810 --> 00:18:54,813
and it was clear
that we needed a group home,

312
00:18:54,846 --> 00:18:56,515
we needed a band home,

313
00:18:56,548 --> 00:18:59,350
and they ended up
finding us this house,

314
00:18:59,383 --> 00:19:00,751
Fanny Hill.

315
00:19:00,785 --> 00:19:02,820
It's a. .
it was Hedy Lamarr's home,

316
00:19:02,853 --> 00:19:05,756
overlooking L. A.

317
00:19:05,790 --> 00:19:09,393
- Fanny Hill was just
a huge experiment.

318
00:19:09,426 --> 00:19:10,828
And it was girlfriends.

319
00:19:10,861 --> 00:19:13,465
It was like we had
our own sorority,
but we had amps.

320
00:19:13,498 --> 00:19:15,766
It was a sorority
with electrical guitars.

321
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,370
And uh,
jamming day and night.

322
00:19:19,403 --> 00:19:22,506
And people coming over
and hanging out with the chicks,

323
00:19:22,540 --> 00:19:25,443
and having a great time,
you know.

324
00:19:26,545 --> 00:19:28,413
- Brie just had the baby,

325
00:19:28,446 --> 00:19:31,716
so she and her daughter
moved in with us

326
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:34,618
and then she wanted
to play with us again.
And she did.

327
00:19:34,651 --> 00:19:36,086
And then once Punkin was born,

328
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:37,921
a lot of times
she would just, like,

329
00:19:37,955 --> 00:19:40,425
be in front of the bass drum
and she'd fall asleep.

330
00:19:42,926 --> 00:19:46,498
- During the time I lived
with the band at Fanny Hill,

331
00:19:46,531 --> 00:19:49,768
I was actually the only one
with a child.

332
00:19:49,801 --> 00:19:51,970
It was kind of cool
for everybody else

333
00:19:52,003 --> 00:19:54,605
'cause they loved
having a little kid around.

334
00:19:54,638 --> 00:19:56,173
They loved having a baby,

335
00:19:56,206 --> 00:19:58,676
you know,
a piece of reality.

336
00:19:59,776 --> 00:20:02,546
At any given time, there was
a band in the basement,

337
00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:04,415
'cause we had lots of jams.

338
00:20:04,448 --> 00:20:06,985
Bob Dylan's The Band,
they were down there playing.

339
00:20:07,018 --> 00:20:09,186
Little Feet used to show up.

340
00:20:09,220 --> 00:20:11,756
Bonnie Raitt was there playing.

341
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:13,625
- I mean,

342
00:20:13,658 --> 00:20:16,695
it would be not an unusual
occurrence for Joe Cocker

343
00:20:16,728 --> 00:20:18,663
to be sitting
at our dining room table,

344
00:20:18,696 --> 00:20:21,031
eating the muffins
we made that morning.

345
00:20:21,065 --> 00:20:23,468
You know, playing a
tambourine, or whatever.

346
00:20:23,501 --> 00:20:26,905
I mean, so that kind of thing
happened all the time,

347
00:20:26,938 --> 00:20:30,041
when music was just
bursting at the seams.

348
00:20:30,075 --> 00:20:33,178
- One of the times
I came to L. A. ,

349
00:20:33,211 --> 00:20:38,650
they had kindly offered
to let me stay at
their legendary Fanny Hill,

350
00:20:38,683 --> 00:20:42,586
and it was just a great
hang vibe there, you know.

351
00:20:42,620 --> 00:20:44,956
We all just became very,
very close.

352
00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:46,925
And there was a lot
of late nights.

353
00:20:46,958 --> 00:20:48,626
And you know,
how fantastic was that?

354
00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:50,928
It was free, and my bass player
was with me, Freebo;

355
00:20:50,961 --> 00:20:53,798
who ended up being
very frustrated
'cause there was a lot

356
00:20:53,831 --> 00:20:56,568
of gorgeous, naked women walking
around, all of whom were gay.

357
00:21:02,973 --> 00:21:07,945
- Oh, God, Fanny Hill was like
a male's wet dream.

358
00:21:18,690 --> 00:21:22,093
- Nudity, freedom, bodies.

359
00:21:30,801 --> 00:21:33,938
- Everybody was, like,
had their bedmates.

360
00:21:33,971 --> 00:21:36,608
I didn't have a bedmate,

361
00:21:36,641 --> 00:21:38,910
but I would crawl in bed
with all of them.

362
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,983
- I came out
when I was seventeen.

363
00:21:46,016 --> 00:21:48,185
That's one of the reasons
I left home.

364
00:21:48,218 --> 00:21:51,823
And my mom put me in a. .

365
00:21:51,856 --> 00:21:56,895
the psychopathic ward in Iowa
for two weeks.

366
00:21:56,928 --> 00:21:59,663
But after, when the doctors
said,

367
00:21:59,696 --> 00:22:03,568
"Let her go; let's just
be there for her. "

368
00:22:03,601 --> 00:22:09,773
I got a letter from her almost
every day in California
and it was. .

369
00:22:12,010 --> 00:22:14,011
(shaky breath)

370
00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:17,048
just, uh. .

371
00:22:18,683 --> 00:22:22,986
a newsy letter,
no judgement, you know?

372
00:22:23,020 --> 00:22:28,960
So, I had a lot of years
to work through.

373
00:22:30,328 --> 00:22:34,165
- Being a lesbian,
I understood that society was
totally against it

374
00:22:34,198 --> 00:22:36,935
in the sense that
it was really dangerous.

375
00:22:36,968 --> 00:22:38,936
In the sense that you could
lose everything.

376
00:22:38,970 --> 00:22:40,738
For me,

377
00:22:40,771 --> 00:22:44,175
opening up to that part of
myself was the silent liberation

378
00:22:44,208 --> 00:22:46,778
that music also afforded me.

379
00:22:46,811 --> 00:22:51,148
You could say it was
an internal "Don't ask,
don't tell" policy.

380
00:22:52,616 --> 00:22:54,818
- Girlfriends and boyfriends
lived there,

381
00:22:54,851 --> 00:22:57,055
and then friends
of theirs would come it.

382
00:22:57,088 --> 00:22:58,990
So there was just this constant
open door,

383
00:22:59,023 --> 00:23:01,058
revolving door of. .
of people.

384
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,130
- Jean and I, we had boyfriends

385
00:23:05,163 --> 00:23:08,666
and Nickey Barclay was married
to one guy and. .
and living with another.

386
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:11,035
She had two guys
at the same time.

387
00:23:12,670 --> 00:23:15,340
- I guess it was
sex, drugs and rock & roll.

388
00:23:15,373 --> 00:23:17,875
It got really out of hand.

389
00:23:17,908 --> 00:23:19,276
You know,

390
00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:23,046
I took my share
and probably some of yours.

391
00:23:25,283 --> 00:23:29,253
- The night we. . that June and
I hung out with Mick Jagger

392
00:23:29,286 --> 00:23:33,691
and, uh, Bobby Keyes
and we smoked hash
all night long, right?

393
00:23:33,725 --> 00:23:37,928
Got so completely stoned;
there was no sex, no nothing;
it was music.

394
00:23:39,363 --> 00:23:42,133
- Then he invited us to do
some heroin, and I thought,

395
00:23:42,166 --> 00:23:44,868
"Well, I've never done it
before, you know,
I'll try a little bit. "

396
00:23:44,901 --> 00:23:47,138
The next thing I knew,
I was waking up,

397
00:23:47,171 --> 00:23:50,708
like, three hours later
and then plus I got sick
to my stomach

398
00:23:50,741 --> 00:23:54,278
and he had to pull into an alley
so I could puke out the door,
you know?

399
00:23:54,311 --> 00:23:57,415
I didn't have to say to him,
"I am never going
to do this again. "

400
00:23:57,448 --> 00:23:59,683
We had a job to do.

401
00:23:59,716 --> 00:24:01,853
You could not have done
what Fanny did

402
00:24:01,886 --> 00:24:04,655
being high and kind of tipsy
all the time.

403
00:24:04,688 --> 00:24:06,056
Impossible.

404
00:24:07,858 --> 00:24:11,295
- She worked so hard.

405
00:24:11,328 --> 00:24:14,031
Sitting in that room
with the guitar,

406
00:24:14,065 --> 00:24:16,100
hours and hours
and hours.

407
00:24:16,133 --> 00:24:19,070
And we were rehearsing
and rehearsing and rehearsing,

408
00:24:19,103 --> 00:24:23,875
and Brie's voice was so powerful
and so strong.

409
00:24:23,908 --> 00:24:26,176
And she was a drummer.

410
00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:30,181
I wasn't. . I probably had
some trepidation
about having a second drummer,

411
00:24:30,215 --> 00:24:32,783
you know,
"Oh, she'll take my job"

412
00:24:32,816 --> 00:24:36,053
or, you know,
"they'll not want me anymore. "

413
00:24:37,221 --> 00:24:39,123
- I guess the powers that be,

414
00:24:39,156 --> 00:24:43,226
including Richard Perry
and our manager, Roy Silver,

415
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:47,331
had it in their mind that
we could be the female Beatles.

416
00:24:47,365 --> 00:24:50,000
And at that time,
Brie was in the band,

417
00:24:50,033 --> 00:24:52,203
but Alice is playing drums,

418
00:24:52,236 --> 00:24:55,340
so Brie was playing percussion
and singing.

419
00:24:55,373 --> 00:24:59,843
So she was kind of, you know,
the extra person, if you will.

420
00:25:01,946 --> 00:25:05,283
- Yeah, when I got the word
that I wasn't going
to continue on in the band,

421
00:25:05,316 --> 00:25:07,385
it's like everything just. .

422
00:25:07,418 --> 00:25:10,221
I think I just shut down.

423
00:25:13,825 --> 00:25:18,128
- I don't even know
how we ever asked her
to stop playing with us.

424
00:25:18,161 --> 00:25:19,930
I mean, I couldn't imagine,
you know,

425
00:25:19,963 --> 00:25:22,233
I probably just blocked out
that whole thing.

426
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,310
- Richard cut Brie;

427
00:25:32,343 --> 00:25:34,811
I felt the aftereffects.

428
00:25:35,346 --> 00:25:41,886
I felt the whole house
of Fanny Hill
just, like, crying.

429
00:25:42,886 --> 00:25:48,893
He had removed a piece
of the legacy of Svelts

430
00:25:48,926 --> 00:25:52,130
and all the work
that they had done together.

431
00:25:52,163 --> 00:25:54,898
She was phenomenal. .

432
00:25:54,931 --> 00:25:57,735
and she was a mother.

433
00:26:10,881 --> 00:26:14,218
- So, this photo is, um,

434
00:26:14,251 --> 00:26:17,121
in my room upstairs
at Fanny Hill

435
00:26:17,155 --> 00:26:22,093
and this is the day that
I got let go from the band,

436
00:26:22,126 --> 00:26:24,228
which was a. .

437
00:26:24,261 --> 00:26:26,430
as you can tell from the way
I'm looking in the photo,

438
00:26:26,463 --> 00:26:29,300
I was pretty devastated,
actually.

439
00:26:29,333 --> 00:26:33,003
Um, she had no idea
what I was going through,

440
00:26:33,036 --> 00:26:36,373
but I remember feeling
just like that picture looks.

441
00:26:36,406 --> 00:26:39,510
I was just lost.

442
00:26:43,446 --> 00:26:46,885
- I still think to this day
that's one of the biggest
mistakes

443
00:26:46,918 --> 00:26:49,220
made in the early Fanny days;

444
00:26:49,253 --> 00:26:52,223
that Brie would have added
so much more to the band.

445
00:26:53,456 --> 00:26:56,326
- Being given the directive
that unless we did this,

446
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:59,596
they would not work with us
and we would not have an album.

447
00:26:59,630 --> 00:27:02,233
And we just looked
at each other and, like,

448
00:27:02,266 --> 00:27:05,270
you know, we had worked so hard
to get to a place
where we could even record.

449
00:27:05,303 --> 00:27:08,471
And to be given that directive
by basically the record company
and management,

450
00:27:08,505 --> 00:27:10,308
that's what happened.

451
00:27:10,341 --> 00:27:13,443
(rock music)

452
00:27:15,913 --> 00:27:18,315
- I signed
with Warner Reprise.

453
00:27:19,616 --> 00:27:24,421
They were the first all-girl
rock band that was signed
to a major label

454
00:27:24,455 --> 00:27:26,823
and had an album come out.

455
00:27:32,096 --> 00:27:34,998
- Discovering Fanny was kind of
like a surprise.

456
00:27:35,031 --> 00:27:37,501
Like, if you were going
to see classical paintings

457
00:27:37,535 --> 00:27:40,103
and all of a sudden
there was a Van Gogh

458
00:27:40,136 --> 00:27:42,273
right in the middle of a. .
you know,

459
00:27:42,306 --> 00:27:44,375
totally realistic
set of paintings.

460
00:27:44,408 --> 00:27:47,011
Suddenly there's this completely
different thing that happened.

461
00:27:49,346 --> 00:27:54,418
♪ What I need is some time
to escape ♪

462
00:27:54,451 --> 00:27:58,321

♪ I just got to find me ♪
♪ A place in the country ♪

466
00:28:07,698 --> 00:28:10,301
- It was hard rock.
It was guitar riffs,

467
00:28:10,335 --> 00:28:13,303
solos
and it was pounding drums.

468
00:28:13,336 --> 00:28:15,473
They opened for bands
like Humble Pie,

469
00:28:15,506 --> 00:28:18,175
and they opened for Deep Purple,
and they were. .

470
00:28:18,208 --> 00:28:21,078
I would put them sort of
on that continuum, uh,

471
00:28:21,111 --> 00:28:24,448
hard rock
but with a lot of melodicism.

472
00:28:24,481 --> 00:28:26,516
Super great players.

473
00:28:26,550 --> 00:28:28,285
- They were, like,

474
00:28:28,318 --> 00:28:30,521
making their mark

475
00:28:30,555 --> 00:28:33,190
and putting a stamp
on the music business

476
00:28:33,223 --> 00:28:36,193
and the American music scene.

477
00:28:38,663 --> 00:28:41,966
It created an awareness
in the business that,

478
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,401
hey, women do this too,

479
00:28:44,435 --> 00:28:48,471
without having to be
the background singer
for some guy.

480
00:28:48,505 --> 00:28:51,708
- Here's another one of those
long-haired groups
you've heard about.

481
00:28:51,741 --> 00:28:53,376
Their name: Fanny.

482
00:28:53,410 --> 00:28:56,380
(applause)

483
00:29:14,565 --> 00:29:18,401
- I just remember hearing them
on the radio and they rocked.

484
00:29:18,435 --> 00:29:21,971
Fanny was the first band I saw
where a woman played guitar.

485
00:29:22,005 --> 00:29:24,541
And I was very impressed.
And her attitude too,

486
00:29:24,575 --> 00:29:27,278
it was just kind of, you know,
flipping her hair

487
00:29:27,311 --> 00:29:31,115
and just a tough
attitude and she played great.

488
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,588
- Nickey Barclay, I mean,

489
00:29:38,621 --> 00:29:42,093
you just don't see women rocking
out on the keyboards like that.

490
00:29:42,126 --> 00:29:47,065
She was the first person I saw
playing like Nicky Hopkins
or that I'd only seen men do.

491
00:29:47,098 --> 00:29:50,335
And, uh, Alison,
a great drummer.

499

But when she would play one of
these real vicious bass lines,

500
00:30:21,131 --> 00:30:25,035
you could see this. .

(applause)

508
00:31:03,140 --> 00:31:05,676
- And especially
in the lead guitar scenario,

509
00:31:05,710 --> 00:31:11,581
you had the. .
the view of the male, virile,

510
00:31:11,615 --> 00:31:14,451
Thor-like God of guitar,
you know,

511
00:31:14,485 --> 00:31:19,256
and I think it was difficult
for any woman
to break through that,

512
00:31:19,290 --> 00:31:21,258
uh, cultural view,

513
00:31:21,291 --> 00:31:23,526
no matter
how awesome they were.

514
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,663
- There aren't too many
female rock groups around.

515
00:31:26,696 --> 00:31:29,200
I don't know what the reason
for that is,

516
00:31:29,233 --> 00:31:31,301
but I do know that
there are very few groups,

517
00:31:31,335 --> 00:31:32,601
male or female,

518
00:31:32,635 --> 00:31:37,108
that are as exciting
as the Queens of Rock and Roll,
Fanny.

524
00:32:08,771 --> 00:32:12,176
- There was so much prejudice
and disbelief.

525
00:32:12,210 --> 00:32:15,780
For the first ten minutes
that we went on stage,

526
00:32:15,813 --> 00:32:19,783
people. . we had to prove to
them that we were
actually playing.

527
00:32:19,816 --> 00:32:22,520
- My next guests are four young
musicians who,

528
00:32:22,553 --> 00:32:24,588
in over a year that
they've been together,
have been billed with,

529
00:32:24,621 --> 00:32:27,391
all of the top artists
around, just about.

530
00:32:27,425 --> 00:32:30,595
And tomorrow evening they'll be
on their own at Carnegie Hall.

531
00:32:30,628 --> 00:32:32,563
And they have just released
their second album,

532
00:32:32,596 --> 00:32:34,331
which is entitled
Charity Ball.

533
00:32:34,365 --> 00:32:36,900
These are four young women;
singly they are Jean, June,

534
00:32:36,933 --> 00:32:38,568
Nickey and Alice,

535
00:32:38,601 --> 00:32:40,605
but you put them all together,
you've got Fanny.

536
00:32:41,338 --> 00:32:43,941

♪ I need you ♪

540
00:32:52,850 --> 00:32:55,786
- All we had to do
is get on stage.

541
00:32:55,820 --> 00:32:58,956
I knew I was going to put that
bass drum right up your crotch,

542
00:32:58,990 --> 00:33:02,158
you know, doooom,
that's where I wanted it.

543
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,916
(cheering and applause)

544
00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:30,353
- So, we broke through
that barrier
and it wasn't through talking,

545
00:33:30,386 --> 00:33:32,490
it wasn't through arguing,

546
00:33:32,523 --> 00:33:35,458
it wasn't through convincing
anyone that girls could play;

547
00:33:35,491 --> 00:33:37,761
we just fucking did it.

548
00:33:45,970 --> 00:33:48,871
(Fanny singing)

549
00:33:54,045 --> 00:33:55,746
- Oh, my God,

550
00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:58,983
that's a. . that's some
old-school bullshit there.

551
00:33:59,016 --> 00:34:02,453
"If you object to this picture
on the front of a rock paper,

552
00:34:02,486 --> 00:34:05,723
you could be a male chauvinist. "

553
00:34:05,756 --> 00:34:09,626
A truer statement
couldn't be made at the time.

554
00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:11,761
Now if you saw that,

555
00:34:11,795 --> 00:34:13,896
you'd pay. . you would just go,
"Wow, cool. "

556
00:34:18,735 --> 00:34:23,740
- They were the first band
that we were spoon-fed
the information for

557
00:34:23,773 --> 00:34:26,610
in these magazines that
we bought to read about

558
00:34:26,643 --> 00:34:29,446
Led Zeppelin and the Beatles
and the Stones.

559
00:34:30,715 --> 00:34:34,985
- And doing exactly
what all guy groups did.

560
00:34:35,018 --> 00:34:36,786
Working their asses off,

561
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:40,791
sitting in the back of a shitty
van travelling up and down
whatever highway they were on,

562
00:34:40,825 --> 00:34:44,528
to go to some bar
or some club to play a gig.

563
00:34:44,561 --> 00:34:47,631
- The difference being,
no doubt,
when they got on stage,

564
00:34:47,665 --> 00:34:51,035
they had to deal
with a lot of drunken,
"Get your tits out" shit

565
00:34:51,068 --> 00:34:52,870
that guys didn't really have
to deal with.

566
00:34:54,705 --> 00:34:58,475
- And just about every single
interview we did,

567
00:34:58,508 --> 00:35:00,711
the opening question was:

568
00:35:00,745 --> 00:35:04,515
Well, how does it feel to be
a girl playing an instrument?

569
00:35:04,548 --> 00:35:07,785
And you go, "Jesus, did you do
any research?"

570
00:35:15,558 --> 00:35:19,463
- The idea that we were
Filipina-American,

571
00:35:19,496 --> 00:35:22,098
that didn't enter into
our conversations with anybody,

572
00:35:22,131 --> 00:35:23,666
with the public.

573
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,103
That part was kind of ignored,

574
00:35:26,136 --> 00:35:29,373
and that made it even worse.

575
00:35:29,406 --> 00:35:33,076
The terrible thing about
racism is it can be so subtle.

576
00:35:35,045 --> 00:35:37,113
- I knew I was being judged
every second,

577
00:35:37,146 --> 00:35:42,018
so it's all I. . all I did,
really, was just play as
hard and as good as I could,

578
00:35:42,051 --> 00:35:44,488
you know, without um. .

579
00:35:44,521 --> 00:35:47,323
I just knew I was representing
something new.

580
00:35:51,495 --> 00:35:53,996
I feel like
it was intelligent rock.

581
00:35:54,030 --> 00:35:57,568
If you listen to our lyrics,
and we had a lot
of original songs,

582
00:35:57,601 --> 00:36:01,505
you know, we are speaking
to you as women.

583
00:36:01,538 --> 00:36:05,041
We were kind of pushing back
at all the prejudice

584
00:36:05,075 --> 00:36:07,343
that was coming at us.

585
00:36:11,048 --> 00:36:13,083
- Listen to the one where,

586
00:36:13,116 --> 00:36:16,953
you know, we're talking about
uh, because she's on the pill.

♪ And she knows she's cool
or she's on the pill. . ♪

00:36:26,030 --> 00:36:28,531
the lyrics
were ahead of time.

590
00:36:28,565 --> 00:36:31,068
I think Fanny was ten years
too early.

591
00:36:34,838 --> 00:36:36,740
- In the early '70s,

592
00:36:36,773 --> 00:36:39,576
the women's movement
was full steam;

593
00:36:39,610 --> 00:36:43,546
the whole social fabric
of America was shifting.

594
00:36:43,580 --> 00:36:48,585
And their. . the albums are just
beautiful markers of that
period of time and that fight.

- Lastly tonight,
back to Fanny,

602
00:37:13,543 --> 00:37:15,778
who've been conquering male
chauvinist hearts everywhere.

603
00:37:15,811 --> 00:37:17,815
- In the U. K. ,

604
00:37:17,848 --> 00:37:20,716
calling a band Fanny

605
00:37:20,750 --> 00:37:23,586
didn't mean the same thing
as it did in America.

606
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:25,188
(laughing)

607
00:37:25,221 --> 00:37:27,491
- They must have been aware
that it kind of meant, you know,

608
00:37:27,525 --> 00:37:30,193
like pussy in England
and. .

609
00:37:30,226 --> 00:37:34,063
so it's such a play on. .
on female empowerment to me,

610
00:37:34,096 --> 00:37:38,735
that the name Fanny
and the fact that they just
were women who rock.

611
00:37:39,870 --> 00:37:42,706
- They took us in;

612
00:37:42,740 --> 00:37:47,478
they loved us;
they followed us around
that little country.

613
00:37:48,145 --> 00:37:49,746
- Yeah,
I'd love a cup of tea.

614
00:37:49,780 --> 00:37:51,715
- If I don't get a cup of tea
in the morning,

615
00:37:51,748 --> 00:37:53,083
I'm no good for
the rest of the day.

616
00:37:53,116 --> 00:37:55,018
- It's tea-riffic.
- That'll perk you up.

617
00:37:55,051 --> 00:37:56,085
It's refreshing!

618
00:37:57,153 --> 00:37:58,320
<i>(narrator):</i>
<i>Take a fresh look at tea. </i>

619
00:37:58,353 --> 00:38:01,091
<i>It's the most refreshing drink</i>
<i>in the world. </i>

620
00:38:06,563 --> 00:38:08,898
- We were just such Beatle fans

621
00:38:08,931 --> 00:38:11,268
and we just couldn't believe

622
00:38:11,301 --> 00:38:15,071
that we had the honour of being
able to record at Apple Studios.

623
00:38:18,841 --> 00:38:21,978
- Something happened for us
in London

624
00:38:22,011 --> 00:38:24,815
where people both in
the business and in the audience

625
00:38:24,848 --> 00:38:29,620
were giving us a level
of respect that we did not get
in the U. S.

626
00:38:29,653 --> 00:38:33,623
- One of the most thrilling
things of recording at Apple

627
00:38:33,656 --> 00:38:36,193
was the engineer
was Geoff Emerick,

628
00:38:36,226 --> 00:38:38,261
who was the Beatles' engineer.

629
00:38:38,295 --> 00:38:43,133
- Geoff was one of the most
outstanding engineers,

630
00:38:43,166 --> 00:38:45,035
that just the fact

631
00:38:45,068 --> 00:38:47,738
that he was
the one behind the board

632
00:38:47,771 --> 00:38:50,975
on all those
amazing Beatle albums.

633
00:38:51,008 --> 00:38:54,143
I knew that I had to work
with him at some point.

634
00:38:54,176 --> 00:38:58,015
So I took advantage
of the Fanny situation.

635
00:39:00,283 --> 00:39:04,921
- Richard Perry and I fought
all the time because he wanted
to contain my sound.

636
00:39:04,955 --> 00:39:08,891
Here I was jamming with guys
who. . who were creating, like,

637
00:39:08,925 --> 00:39:11,228
hit sounds
and they were loud, right?

638
00:39:11,261 --> 00:39:15,065
So, I'd get like this, you know,
tone and sound and everything,

639
00:39:15,098 --> 00:39:18,201
and he'd come up. .
so let's say my amp was
on six or seven,

640
00:39:18,235 --> 00:39:21,905
he'd just turn it down
to two and he would just be
like plink-plink-plink-plink.

641
00:39:21,938 --> 00:39:23,806
I just would go,

642
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,976
you know,
I would just explode.

643
00:39:28,778 --> 00:39:31,181
- And I did turn
to Geoff Emerick and I said,

644
00:39:31,215 --> 00:39:33,283
"Geoff, how do you get
George Harrison's sound?"

645
00:39:33,316 --> 00:39:36,586
And he only turned around
and looked at me and said,

646
00:39:36,620 --> 00:39:39,623
"He gave me the sound
and I mic'd it. "

647
00:39:39,656 --> 00:39:43,093
And that was the end of Richard,
at least with Geoff,

648
00:39:43,126 --> 00:39:45,895
coming up to me
and trying to turn down my amp.
That was it.

649
00:39:45,928 --> 00:39:48,331
I mean, Geoff basically said,
"Leave. . leave her alone,
would ya?

650
00:39:48,365 --> 00:39:51,668
Just let me do my job. "

651
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:55,705
- It was very popular back
in those days.

652
00:39:55,738 --> 00:39:58,241
They would give out free
flexidisc singles

653
00:39:58,275 --> 00:40:01,645
so that you'd buy their
magazine and not the. .
their rival one.

654
00:40:01,678 --> 00:40:04,815
They gave away a song
by Fanny,

655
00:40:04,848 --> 00:40:06,883
and it was a song
called Blind Alley.

656
00:40:06,916 --> 00:40:10,320
I remember putting it on
and hearing it
for the first time

657
00:40:10,353 --> 00:40:12,890
and just thinking
how powerful it was.

658
00:40:12,923 --> 00:40:15,058
The way it starts off
with this fade-in,

659
00:40:15,091 --> 00:40:18,761
kind of muted guitar. .
(hums)

660
00:40:18,795 --> 00:40:21,765
and then just
the simplest keyboard motif.

661
00:40:21,798 --> 00:40:26,403
Bown-bown-bown-da dow-dow-dow. .

662
00:40:26,436 --> 00:40:29,271
and then the right hand
comes in.

663
00:40:31,875 --> 00:40:34,143
And then the big. . you know,

664
00:40:34,176 --> 00:40:37,781
very glam-rockish
kind of two-chord thing

665
00:40:37,815 --> 00:40:41,151
comes bursting in
and the drums,
and then the vocal.

670
00:40:54,465 --> 00:40:57,666
- I mean I had no idea
who they were,

671
00:40:57,700 --> 00:40:59,903
but this four minutes
worth of music,

672
00:40:59,936 --> 00:41:02,271
I was, like, hooked.

673
00:41:02,305 --> 00:41:04,841
I would play that thing
till it was literally,

674
00:41:04,875 --> 00:41:06,810
the needle would
have gone through it.

677
00:41:24,393 --> 00:41:27,731
- It didn't seem outrageous
that we did one album a year,

678
00:41:27,765 --> 00:41:29,365
but in retrospect,

679
00:41:29,398 --> 00:41:31,235
that's a lot of music
to be able to put out.

- When we were touring,
we were in our rooms,

683
00:41:38,741 --> 00:41:40,276
we were writing,

684
00:41:40,310 --> 00:41:42,913
we were just trying to perfect
ourselves as much as possible.

685
00:41:42,946 --> 00:41:44,748
And that was our aim,

686
00:41:44,781 --> 00:41:48,051
to be as good as possible
in this short a period of time.

687
00:41:48,085 --> 00:41:51,788
- It was like a military
campaign with all the rehearsing

688
00:41:51,821 --> 00:41:54,390
and the schedules and getting
to the airport on time,

689
00:41:54,423 --> 00:41:58,161
and the sound checks and playing
100 % every night.

690
00:41:58,195 --> 00:41:59,963
You could not fail.

691
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,970
♪ And someone's
gonna get burned ♪

692
00:42:25,255 --> 00:42:27,858
- It was brutally tiring

693
00:42:27,891 --> 00:42:30,760
because you're always doing
either a gig or an interview,

694
00:42:30,793 --> 00:42:32,061
or you're
recording.

695
00:42:32,095 --> 00:42:34,196
Most likely all three at once.

696
00:42:35,998 --> 00:42:38,535
- But, you know, to keep giving
and giving and giving

697
00:42:38,568 --> 00:42:42,138
in that way
was unsustainable.

698
00:42:47,276 --> 00:42:53,916
- The bad memories of Fanny
were pretty much any band story.

699
00:42:53,950 --> 00:42:57,120
The fighting
and not know how to express,

700
00:42:57,153 --> 00:43:00,123
"That hurt my feelings;
let's try not to do that again. "

701
00:43:00,156 --> 00:43:04,126
You know, conflict resolution
was not the best with Fanny.

702
00:43:05,595 --> 00:43:07,396
- For the longest time,

703
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:11,401
once a week we had to have
a therapy session.

704
00:43:11,435 --> 00:43:14,871
The band got together
and aired a lot of stuff.

705
00:43:14,905 --> 00:43:17,540
That was really my role
in the band,

706
00:43:17,573 --> 00:43:19,876
holding it all together.

707
00:43:20,976 --> 00:43:23,380
- A band dynamic is
a family dynamic,

708
00:43:23,413 --> 00:43:27,483
so just relate it to your
own family and you got
your answer right there.

709
00:43:32,188 --> 00:43:34,525
- Nickey's a bit of a wild card.

710
00:43:34,558 --> 00:43:37,126
I still don't know who she is.

711
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,063
I don't really know
where she came from.

712
00:43:40,096 --> 00:43:44,266
She is very guarded
except in her music.

713
00:43:49,906 --> 00:43:52,075
- Music is the ultimate.

714
00:43:52,108 --> 00:43:54,276
It walks through walls.

715
00:43:54,310 --> 00:43:58,848
You're not worrying
about somebody
crossing some boundary

716
00:43:58,881 --> 00:44:01,083
and, you know, whether
they mean to or not

717
00:44:01,116 --> 00:44:02,618
hurting you
or offending you.

718
00:44:02,651 --> 00:44:04,521
All of that disappears.

719
00:44:08,525 --> 00:44:11,595
- Mother's Pride was still,
you know,

720
00:44:11,628 --> 00:44:14,196
at a time when the band
was very active.

721
00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:16,300
They were playing a lot.

722
00:44:16,333 --> 00:44:19,035
You know, the principle
that the musical drivers
in the band

723
00:44:19,068 --> 00:44:20,570
were Nickey and June,

724
00:44:20,603 --> 00:44:23,940
but they seemed to have a pretty
good understanding

725
00:44:23,973 --> 00:44:26,141
of the division of labour,
you know.

726
00:44:26,175 --> 00:44:28,545
Like, there was no fighting
over who's going to sing what.

727
00:44:28,578 --> 00:44:31,981
- Well, the general vibe when we
were making the record was

728
00:44:32,015 --> 00:44:35,118
this is no different than
any other act for me.

729
00:44:35,151 --> 00:44:39,956
Part of the challenge was just
to keep the curious
out of the studio,

730
00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:41,891
while the sessions
were going on.

731
00:44:41,925 --> 00:44:43,326
At one point,

732
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,530
Alice felt that the studio
was just too hot for her,

733
00:44:46,563 --> 00:44:50,933
so she played the rest of
the sessions with no shirt on.

734
00:44:52,168 --> 00:44:54,503
- At first,
I found it unusual,

735
00:44:54,536 --> 00:44:57,406
but it soon became just,
you know,

736
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,143
it's the standard
operating procedure.

737
00:45:04,146 --> 00:45:09,051
<i>(man talking about Fanny</i>
<i>in foreign language)</i>

738
00:45:23,433 --> 00:45:26,235
- It was an Indigenous,

739
00:45:26,268 --> 00:45:29,238
different thing going on
that the way that
they approached music,

740
00:45:29,271 --> 00:45:31,273
the way they approached
their instruments,

741
00:45:31,306 --> 00:45:33,576
the way they approached
song writing was different

742
00:45:33,610 --> 00:45:35,611
than how everybody else
was approaching it.

743
00:45:35,645 --> 00:45:39,115
So it's valuable because
they're part of that string,

744
00:45:39,148 --> 00:45:41,283
here's how
rock and roll developed,

745
00:45:41,316 --> 00:45:45,588
but they're also outside of it
because they were doing
their own thing.

746
00:45:48,158 --> 00:45:50,626
- They were absolutely
with the spirit of the times,

747
00:45:50,660 --> 00:45:52,395
the Zeitgeist,

748
00:45:52,428 --> 00:45:55,665
and they didn't have to know it
because they were it.

749
00:45:55,698 --> 00:45:58,668
They took what I learned
to dance to

750
00:45:58,701 --> 00:46:02,071
when I was a teenager
in the '50s

751
00:46:02,105 --> 00:46:04,406
and gave it
a whole new social meaning.

752
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,411
A renaissance of ideas
and feeling and excitement.

753
00:46:11,615 --> 00:46:14,250
- The fact that they didn't
break through

754
00:46:14,283 --> 00:46:16,720
wasn't so much a function
of their music
or their talent,

755
00:46:16,753 --> 00:46:22,458
it was the social moment
which was unable to hear
what they had to offer.

756
00:46:25,361 --> 00:46:28,165
- We only got so far
as popularity

757
00:46:28,198 --> 00:46:30,200
and really breaking open.

758
00:46:30,233 --> 00:46:33,136
And, you know, it was probably
a combination of. .

759
00:46:33,170 --> 00:46:35,705
we didn't write
really great pop songs.

760
00:46:35,738 --> 00:46:37,640
That was not the kind of band
we were.

761
00:46:37,673 --> 00:46:39,641
Whereas the Go-Go's
and like that,

762
00:46:39,675 --> 00:46:42,111
they had great pop songs,
you know.

763
00:46:42,145 --> 00:46:44,480
So we never made it
in that way.

764
00:46:44,513 --> 00:46:46,616
And it's very frustrating
to me.

765
00:46:48,118 --> 00:46:51,688
- Whatever success we had
was not what we expected.

766
00:46:51,721 --> 00:46:57,060
We were not bringing enough
money in from record sales
and shows.

767
00:46:57,093 --> 00:47:00,063
Which seems a little odd to me
because as far as I know,

768
00:47:00,096 --> 00:47:03,100
we sold, like,
60,000 units per album.

769
00:47:03,133 --> 00:47:05,468
But we signed over
power of attorney.

770
00:47:05,501 --> 00:47:09,171
We had no control
over our money and we never
asked about it because,

771
00:47:09,205 --> 00:47:12,575
basically, our bills were paid
and that was enough.

772
00:47:12,608 --> 00:47:16,413
- But we didn't get the hit
that the label wanted,

773
00:47:16,446 --> 00:47:19,615
and that was
a lot of pressure.

774
00:47:19,648 --> 00:47:22,685
I mean, I remember sitting
around talking about it.

775
00:47:22,718 --> 00:47:25,488
I was like,
what do we gotta do? I mean. .

776
00:47:25,521 --> 00:47:27,823
we're working so hard
and we should. . this all
should have been already,

777
00:47:27,856 --> 00:47:29,558
like, over the top.

778
00:47:32,095 --> 00:47:34,596
- You get after a few years
and you're looking around
and I'm like,

779
00:47:34,630 --> 00:47:36,566
where is everyone?

780
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,336
We're playing our asses. .
our fannies off for everyone,

781
00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:43,406
and it's not enough.
Why? Why? You know.

782
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,175
So it was as if it was ashes
in my mouth.

783
00:47:48,378 --> 00:47:49,678
- You want a hit record?

784
00:47:49,711 --> 00:47:53,550
You know, you gotta pay
to get on the radio.
A lot of money.

785
00:47:55,751 --> 00:47:58,421
This is a pretty nasty
business.

786
00:47:58,455 --> 00:48:01,356
Dealing with shyster lawyers
and managers

787
00:48:01,390 --> 00:48:03,193
and people that did
the wrong thing,

788
00:48:03,226 --> 00:48:05,095
which caused a lot of internal
shit inside the band,

789
00:48:05,128 --> 00:48:07,263
which it always does,
you know.

790
00:48:07,296 --> 00:48:09,866
Some people can get through
that in one piece; most don't.

791
00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:12,401
- It was hard.

792
00:48:12,435 --> 00:48:15,871
In any of the interviews,
"Oh, yeah, I'm taken. "

793
00:48:15,905 --> 00:48:18,875
Being gay was still
a disease back then.

794
00:48:18,908 --> 00:48:23,680
So, you could not be a lesbian
in Fanny.

795
00:48:23,713 --> 00:48:27,883
We had to have boyfriends
or significant others.

796
00:48:27,916 --> 00:48:31,186
The record company didn't know
what to do with us.

797
00:48:31,220 --> 00:48:33,390
They didn't know
how to market us.

798
00:48:33,423 --> 00:48:36,191
I went to the management
and said, you know,

799
00:48:36,225 --> 00:48:39,528
I want to go talk to those guys
in the promotion department

800
00:48:39,561 --> 00:48:41,798
and let them know
that we're people.

801
00:48:41,831 --> 00:48:44,700
We're not just
this "all-girl band,"

802
00:48:44,733 --> 00:48:47,636
that we're people and we
have ideas and we, you know. .

803
00:48:47,670 --> 00:48:50,140
listen to the lyrics
on our songs.

804
00:48:51,775 --> 00:48:55,145
- We were on the cusp and we
could tell the record company,
management,

805
00:48:55,178 --> 00:48:56,713
everybody was
getting nervous.

806
00:48:56,746 --> 00:48:59,248
Hence the changing
of the clothes,

807
00:48:59,281 --> 00:49:01,216
which completely threw me off

808
00:49:01,250 --> 00:49:05,355
because then I was even
not comfortable in clothes
playing on stage.

809
00:49:18,435 --> 00:49:21,705
- What Warner Brothers wanted
for us

810
00:49:21,738 --> 00:49:23,840
was to have more skimpy costumes

811
00:49:23,873 --> 00:49:25,841
and do all that glam stuff
and whatever.

812
00:49:25,875 --> 00:49:27,610
And at that point,
June just said,

813
00:49:27,643 --> 00:49:29,678
"I ain't doing this.
I can't do that. "

814
00:49:36,251 --> 00:49:40,823
- There was so much pressure
all the time in Fanny.

815
00:49:40,856 --> 00:49:43,793
I mean, you have to remember
how young we were
and how scared we were.

816
00:49:43,826 --> 00:49:45,260
Really insecure.

817
00:49:45,293 --> 00:49:49,298
There were just a lot of things
that I think
just kind of blurred over

818
00:49:49,331 --> 00:49:53,936
because we were just very busy
trying to survive
being an all-girl band

819
00:49:53,970 --> 00:49:56,973
and being criticized
and questioned and looked at

820
00:49:57,006 --> 00:49:59,508
like under a microscope
all the time.

821
00:50:00,910 --> 00:50:03,346
- I always felt trapped

822
00:50:03,380 --> 00:50:06,750
in that one-dimensional way
that they were presenting us
to the world.

823
00:50:06,783 --> 00:50:08,818
It just. . that didn't work
for me at all.

824
00:50:08,851 --> 00:50:13,456
I was always gonna be the chick
who could play lead guitar.

825
00:50:13,490 --> 00:50:15,791
I needed to. .

826
00:50:15,825 --> 00:50:19,395
to find out how to be
in this world

827
00:50:19,428 --> 00:50:21,698
not behind a guitar.

828
00:50:26,368 --> 00:50:29,638
- Well, when June
left the band, of course,

829
00:50:29,671 --> 00:50:34,243
I was really blown away;
I just didn't know
how I would continue.

830
00:50:34,276 --> 00:50:37,346
And then shortly thereafter,
Alice quit the band.

831
00:50:37,380 --> 00:50:39,481
She didn't want to go
on without June.

832
00:50:39,515 --> 00:50:42,785
So, that half of Fanny
was gone,

833
00:50:42,818 --> 00:50:45,988
but I wasn't prepared
to give it up.

834
00:50:47,290 --> 00:50:49,591
- When I was invited back
into the band,

835
00:50:49,625 --> 00:50:53,796
it was an opportunity
to be back with my girlfriends,

836
00:50:53,830 --> 00:50:55,531
you know, and to play
with Jean again,

837
00:50:55,565 --> 00:50:57,266
which was
always great.

838
00:50:57,300 --> 00:50:59,535
And so, it was just
exciting; it was fun.

839
00:50:59,568 --> 00:51:02,971
- And so together
with Roy Silver,

840
00:51:03,005 --> 00:51:04,673
who was our manager,

841
00:51:04,706 --> 00:51:07,643
we ended up getting
Patty Quatro on guitar,

842
00:51:07,676 --> 00:51:10,013
and it morphed into
a whole different thing.

843
00:51:10,046 --> 00:51:12,715
(rock music)

844
00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:34,536
- When I came in,
there was a big discussion
about clothing and stuff.

845
00:51:34,570 --> 00:51:38,375
They wanted us sexier looking.

846
00:51:38,408 --> 00:51:40,976
Oh, I loved dressing up
in leathers,

847
00:51:41,010 --> 00:51:43,078
tight leather pants
and a leather top

848
00:51:43,111 --> 00:51:45,648
with a, you know,
just tied with a string
in the back.

849
00:51:45,681 --> 00:51:48,818
It was just very sexy
but still raw,
still primitive.

850
00:51:48,851 --> 00:51:51,453
And yeah, we always had
our guitar between our legs.

851
00:51:51,486 --> 00:51:53,088
I mean,
Jean and I up front,

852
00:51:53,121 --> 00:51:55,525
we were just always
having a ball up there.

853
00:51:55,558 --> 00:51:57,826

you do.

865
00:52:33,663 --> 00:52:35,098
We want to be successful.

866
00:52:35,131 --> 00:52:36,966
We wanted that record
to come out

867
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,535
and we want one of those tracks
on that record,

868
00:52:39,568 --> 00:52:41,703
uh, you know,
to garner attention.

869
00:52:41,736 --> 00:52:45,141
We had a couple of songs
and we did Butter Boy,

870
00:52:45,175 --> 00:52:49,878
which, which was,
uh, at that time, um. .

871
00:52:49,911 --> 00:52:51,915
it was like a, you know,

872
00:52:51,948 --> 00:52:54,383
R-rated kind of song
at that time.

873
00:52:54,416 --> 00:52:57,053
But,
the Fanny,

874
00:52:57,086 --> 00:52:59,755
uh. . mystique
was still there.

875
00:52:59,788 --> 00:53:01,490
The persona was still there.

876
00:53:01,523 --> 00:53:03,626
She was in control of this song

877
00:53:03,660 --> 00:53:05,761
and it was a hit song for them,
you know.

878
00:53:05,795 --> 00:53:07,496
"And he was hard as a rock,

879
00:53:07,530 --> 00:53:09,498
but I was ready to roll. "
You know,

880
00:53:09,531 --> 00:53:12,101
"What a shock to find out
that I was in control. "

881
00:53:13,536 --> 00:53:15,138
- Casablanca.

882
00:53:16,605 --> 00:53:18,140

00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,601
had been the one that made it
the highest on the charts.

892
00:53:46,635 --> 00:53:49,638
And that was thrilling to me.

893
00:53:49,671 --> 00:53:55,611

with David Bowie.

We probably dated for a year,
a year and a half,
something like that.

899
00:54:11,526 --> 00:54:13,563
It wasn't a putdown on him.

900
00:54:13,596 --> 00:54:15,231
He wasn't that person.

901
00:54:15,265 --> 00:54:19,668
But he gave me the courage
because of the way
he wrote songs

902
00:54:19,701 --> 00:54:21,536
and what his point of view was;

903
00:54:21,570 --> 00:54:23,506
it gave me the courage
to write that song.

904
00:54:23,540 --> 00:54:25,808
He really was. .

905
00:54:25,841 --> 00:54:28,745
admired the band and
the musicianship and all that,

906
00:54:28,778 --> 00:54:32,015
so we always had that. .
that respect from him.

907
00:54:32,748 --> 00:54:35,218
♪ Show what you know ♪

908
00:54:35,251 --> 00:54:38,655
♪ Oh there's a fire down below ♪

909
00:54:38,688 --> 00:54:42,558
- That should have been
the catalyst
that galvanized them.

910
00:54:43,258 --> 00:54:48,731
- It was really gaining momentum
and Nicki got pulled away.

911
00:54:48,765 --> 00:54:51,233
She wanted to do a solo album.

912
00:54:53,135 --> 00:54:56,906
And some things going on
with boyfriends inside the group
and stuff

913
00:54:56,940 --> 00:54:59,208
and we lost Brie.

914
00:54:59,241 --> 00:55:01,576
So that was a rough,

915
00:55:01,610 --> 00:55:04,713
rough thing to go through
because we were
right on the cusp.

916
00:55:06,048 --> 00:55:11,153
- I wasn't completely sold
on the direction
that we ended up going,

917
00:55:11,186 --> 00:55:14,190
but it was not easy.

918
00:55:14,223 --> 00:55:17,060
We didn't make any money.

919
00:55:17,093 --> 00:55:20,596
You know, those kind of things
were difficult, you know.

920
00:55:20,630 --> 00:55:23,933
Maybe we got some kind of money
to stay afloat on the road

921
00:55:23,966 --> 00:55:25,635
so that we could eat.

922
00:55:25,668 --> 00:55:27,836
I don't remember
getting a salary,

923
00:55:27,870 --> 00:55:29,738
that's for sure.

924
00:55:30,673 --> 00:55:32,275
- It just got to me
after a while.

925
00:55:32,308 --> 00:55:35,811
I just couldn't cope
with being on the road

926
00:55:35,845 --> 00:55:38,915
and dealing with that stuff
day in and day out anymore.

927
00:55:38,948 --> 00:55:41,016
I just got exhausted.
And ultimately,

928
00:55:41,050 --> 00:55:43,251
that-that's what happened,
why the band broke up.

929
00:55:43,285 --> 00:55:45,288
I didn't want to continue.

930
00:55:55,298 --> 00:55:58,300
- They were just one of those
bands that, you know,

931
00:55:58,333 --> 00:56:02,005
they kind of disappeared
after the mid-seventies,
and every now and then

932
00:56:02,038 --> 00:56:04,106
I'd wonder,
whatever happened to Fanny?

933
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:07,110
- Well,
we had decided,

934
00:56:07,143 --> 00:56:10,145
my husband and I

935
00:56:10,178 --> 00:56:14,116
had decided that
when I had a child,

936
00:56:14,150 --> 00:56:16,785
I would stay home with the baby.

937
00:56:16,818 --> 00:56:19,355
I was thirty when
I had Marita.

938
00:56:19,388 --> 00:56:22,925
There was no way for me to be
going on the road and whatever.

939
00:56:22,958 --> 00:56:25,093
We didn't want that
for our children.

940
00:56:25,126 --> 00:56:27,830
And then when I got pregnant
with Lee,

941
00:56:27,863 --> 00:56:30,733
the same thing happened
and I couldn't leave.

942
00:56:30,766 --> 00:56:35,036
And so, I was deeply involved
in my children's lives
in that way.

943
00:56:35,070 --> 00:56:37,173
And, uh. .

944
00:56:37,206 --> 00:56:41,176
the music had to take
the back seat
for quite a bit of time.

945
00:56:45,415 --> 00:56:48,283
- It kind of worked out good
for me.

946
00:56:48,316 --> 00:56:52,055
I did a lot of videos
in the eighties and nineties.

947
00:56:52,088 --> 00:56:54,856
Um,
and I did a lot of tours.

948
00:56:54,890 --> 00:56:59,628
I was really lucky to have
worked with Carol King

949
00:56:59,661 --> 00:57:02,265
and Robert Palmer, Jimmy Buffet,

950
00:57:02,298 --> 00:57:05,166
Roger Daltry, Duran Duran.

951
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,836
I filled, like,
a couple of different shoes.

952
00:57:07,870 --> 00:57:12,108
It's like I played either drums
or percussion and I sang.

953
00:57:13,141 --> 00:57:16,178
Maybe for the past,
like, eight to ten years,

954
00:57:16,211 --> 00:57:19,048
music sort of drifted off
into the background.

955
00:57:19,081 --> 00:57:21,683
I still did it,
but not as much.

956
00:57:30,393 --> 00:57:34,296
- The time just post-Fanny
is when I met Ann.

957
00:57:35,465 --> 00:57:38,166
That's how I ended up here
in this area.

958
00:57:40,703 --> 00:57:43,671
Part of the reason why
I helped start the Rock & Roll
Girls Camps

959
00:57:43,705 --> 00:57:47,976
was to help the girls
we were back then
who had no mentors,

960
00:57:48,010 --> 00:57:50,813
no supporters
except for our moms.

961
00:57:50,846 --> 00:57:54,183
No one we saw out there
who was playing, no mirroring,

962
00:57:54,216 --> 00:57:57,920
there was nothing out there
that said it's okay to do this.

963
00:57:59,488 --> 00:58:02,023
- I've been on the Board
since they started.

964
00:58:02,056 --> 00:58:05,395
One of the things that I really
admire June for is to start. .

965
00:58:05,428 --> 00:58:07,896
starting the Institute because,

966
00:58:07,930 --> 00:58:12,368
you know, she's really been
concentrating on getting young
girls to be able to play music

967
00:58:12,401 --> 00:58:15,838
and have an outlet
way before other people
were thinking about it.

968
00:58:15,871 --> 00:58:19,241
- Three, four.
(music)

969
00:58:20,408 --> 00:58:23,245
- I think it's really great
throughout the year

970
00:58:23,278 --> 00:58:25,781
to be able to have
these programs where kids,

971
00:58:25,815 --> 00:58:27,983
and especially young girls,
can see

972
00:58:28,016 --> 00:58:31,820
that they can be
anything they want musically.

973
00:58:31,853 --> 00:58:34,456
So that's what I. .
in part what I'm trying
to transmit to you.

974
00:58:34,490 --> 00:58:36,858
That whole attitude
of singing out.

975
00:58:36,891 --> 00:58:39,861
And you know what,
just let people feel it.

976
00:58:40,963 --> 00:58:44,866
What we represent is women
who are at the top of their game

977
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:47,870
or young women who'd like
to get to the top of their game

978
00:58:47,903 --> 00:58:49,471
and they're willing to work.

979
00:58:49,505 --> 00:58:53,776
It's a calling; it's a mission;
it's destiny, you know.

980
00:58:53,810 --> 00:58:56,111

00:59:21,936 --> 00:59:24,273
I think it still exists,
personally.

989
00:59:25,473 --> 00:59:27,910
You know, I think it's really
hard still for women

990
00:59:27,943 --> 00:59:30,480
to prove that they can kick ass
and play.

991
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,490
- I'm in an all-girl rock
and roll band called
Jackknife Stiletto.

992
00:59:41,523 --> 00:59:44,293
We're currently
on Joan Jett's label,
Blackheart Records.

993
00:59:46,361 --> 00:59:50,165
Super hard for any rock band
to be doing this,
but, you know,

994
00:59:50,198 --> 00:59:54,170
for all-females
to be out there trying
to do this as well,

995
00:59:54,203 --> 00:59:57,071
it's like another. .
another notch down there.

996
00:59:57,105 --> 00:59:59,175
You're like,
"Oh, you want
to do that too? Nope. "

997
00:59:59,208 --> 01:00:01,010
Like, you know.

998
01:00:01,043 --> 01:00:03,145
I think there is still
a road to go.

999
01:00:03,178 --> 01:00:04,880
You kind of take for granted,
like,

1000
01:00:04,913 --> 01:00:06,448
some people gave us
the right to vote and,

1001
01:00:06,481 --> 01:00:08,483
like, Fanny gave us
the right to rock, you know.

1002
01:00:08,516 --> 01:00:10,185
So it's pretty cool to kind of,
you know,

1003
01:00:10,218 --> 01:00:11,553
step back
and think about that.

1004
01:00:15,256 --> 01:00:20,061
- David Bowie: "One of the most
important female bands
in American rock & roll

1005
01:00:20,095 --> 01:00:22,998
has been buried
without a trace: Fanny.

1006
01:00:23,031 --> 01:00:27,470
They were one of the first
fucking rock & roll bands -
Good old Davie - of their time. "

1007
01:00:27,503 --> 01:00:30,540
- "They're as important
as anybody else
who's ever been ever.

1008
01:00:30,573 --> 01:00:32,908
It just wasn't their time. "
That's true.

1009
01:00:32,941 --> 01:00:36,945
And for him to mention them
specifically
in his little capsule

1010
01:00:36,978 --> 01:00:40,481
really shows that
he was willing to. .

1011
01:00:40,515 --> 01:00:44,586
shine that light
on an underknown band,

1012
01:00:44,620 --> 01:00:46,821
an underrepresented band.

1013
01:00:48,190 --> 01:00:51,893
- And I remember the end of the
quote was to the effect of,

1014
01:00:51,926 --> 01:00:54,863
"If I could revivify Fanny,
my job would be done. "

1015
01:00:54,896 --> 01:00:58,500
And I thought,
we're going to finish that job
for David Bowie.

1016
01:00:58,533 --> 01:01:01,903
(rock music)

1017
01:01:07,476 --> 01:01:10,211
- We were talking about what
we would call it

1018
01:01:10,245 --> 01:01:12,381
and June said, you know,

1019
01:01:12,415 --> 01:01:14,916
something about
Fanny Walk the Earth,

1020
01:01:14,950 --> 01:01:17,151
and I went, "I love that. "

1021
01:01:17,185 --> 01:01:19,488
And I love it
for a couple of reasons:

1022
01:01:19,521 --> 01:01:24,093
'cause it sounds like dinosaurs,
and we are.

1023
01:01:24,126 --> 01:01:30,633
And it also speaks
of "Fanny was here;
Fanny made a mark. "

(humming)

1028
01:02:01,696 --> 01:02:04,500
- We're fulfilling something

1029
01:02:04,533 --> 01:02:08,636
that has been called on
a long time ago.

1030
01:02:08,670 --> 01:02:10,605
Which is, to me,
is a miracle.

1031
01:02:10,638 --> 01:02:13,408
I can't believe
I'm turning 69 in a few days,

1032
01:02:13,441 --> 01:02:15,678
and we get to do this.

1033
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,323
- We dealt with the prejudice
against girls, right,

1034
01:02:27,356 --> 01:02:29,491
and the feminism.
And then June says,

1035
01:02:29,525 --> 01:02:33,628
"Oh yeah,
now we're bucking ageism. "
(laughing)

1036
01:02:41,636 --> 01:02:44,940
(music stops, laughter)
- What the hell did we just do?

1037
01:02:46,008 --> 01:02:49,045
- You guys are actually. .
seem to be pushing yourself
to try to be better

1038
01:02:49,078 --> 01:02:51,313
than you were
forty years ago.
- You know, we are.

1039
01:02:51,346 --> 01:02:53,548
- Oh, hell, yeah.
- Yeah, well, I mean
individually you should be,

1040
01:02:53,581 --> 01:02:56,151
but as a band,
you're pushing yourself
to be a better band, right?

1041
01:02:56,185 --> 01:02:57,351
- That's true.

1042
01:02:57,385 --> 01:03:00,121
- We have a lot more wisdom
and technique and knowledge

1043
01:03:00,155 --> 01:03:02,256
underneath us
being able to push it.
- Every once in a while,

1044
01:03:02,290 --> 01:03:04,993
I'm sitting there and playing
and I hear Jean pumping along,

1045
01:03:05,026 --> 01:03:07,396
and it's so awesome.
- Yeah.

1046
01:03:07,430 --> 01:03:10,065

(muffled singing)

1058
01:04:08,656 --> 01:04:11,526
- I was absolutely blown away

1059
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,061
playing with a second drummer
for the first time,

1060
01:04:14,095 --> 01:04:17,466
and playing rock & roll
with Brie.

1061
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:20,135
How can. . How much better
can it get, right?

1062
01:04:24,873 --> 01:04:28,210
- And the music kicks ass.
The. . the album is great.

1063
01:04:28,243 --> 01:04:32,380
I like everything I heard,
and I liked being a part of it.

1064
01:04:34,816 --> 01:04:37,351
- That's so cool, guys.
Come on in.

1065
01:04:37,385 --> 01:04:39,821
- That's really fun.
That was really fun.

1066
01:04:39,855 --> 01:04:42,725
I'm glad that you pursued it
and made it happen.

1067
01:04:42,758 --> 01:04:44,660
- I'm so glad you were. .
- It sounds great, too.

1068
01:04:44,693 --> 01:04:47,596
Alice, you did a hell of a job.
- You're awesome.

1069
01:04:49,365 --> 01:04:52,668
- Oh, you were pretty damn
animated in our group.

1070
01:04:52,701 --> 01:04:54,370
- Yeah, I know,
but now. .

1071
01:04:54,403 --> 01:04:56,405
- We're recording a song,

1072
01:04:56,438 --> 01:04:58,840
everybody's singing
on the choruses and stuff.

1073
01:04:58,873 --> 01:05:01,143
It's sort of a female anthem.

1074
01:05:03,578 --> 01:05:06,848
- To be able to be in that room
with all these women

1075
01:05:06,881 --> 01:05:09,485
that had been through
what I'd been though,

1076
01:05:09,518 --> 01:05:12,655
and I'm with my heroes,

1077
01:05:12,688 --> 01:05:15,623
and be able to sing with them
in that kind of
really personal,

1078
01:05:15,656 --> 01:05:19,126
fantastic way,
that was really fun.

1079
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,430
- Wow,
here are these women,

1080
01:05:21,463 --> 01:05:25,733
these pioneers who also,
like me, you know,

1081
01:05:25,766 --> 01:05:29,136
have women of colour
that are in the band

1082
01:05:29,170 --> 01:05:31,740
and they have queers
in the band.

1083
01:05:31,773 --> 01:05:35,310
And a lot of times, the
influence of these people -

1084
01:05:35,343 --> 01:05:37,245
of us -

1085
01:05:37,278 --> 01:05:39,881
our influences are
written out of history.

1086
01:05:39,915 --> 01:05:42,183
- Can you hear the lead vocal
okay?
(all): Yeah.

1087
01:05:42,216 --> 01:05:44,218

01:05:54,463 --> 01:05:57,331
We're gonna. . we're gonna drop

1092
01:05:59,635 --> 01:06:02,236

1094
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,910

01:06:18,986 --> 01:06:22,190
It's good. Come on in, guys,
that sounds great. All right.

1100
01:06:23,925 --> 01:06:25,693
- Well, here's what I was
thinking.

1101
01:06:25,726 --> 01:06:27,796
If June wanted to,
she could just wear,

1102
01:06:27,830 --> 01:06:30,665
actually, her black. .
that black top that she has,

1103
01:06:30,698 --> 01:06:33,868
which will look great
with her white hair.
Or she could wear the red.

1104
01:06:33,901 --> 01:06:36,405
I, however, will probably have
on a couple of red things.

1105
01:06:36,438 --> 01:06:38,206
I'm gonna clash with myself.

1106
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,875
♪ Clashing with myself ♪

1107
01:06:40,908 --> 01:06:43,911
(laughing)

1108
01:06:46,781 --> 01:06:49,485
- When you're in the last
quarter of your life

1109
01:06:49,518 --> 01:06:52,353
and somebody wants
to take pictures of you,
that's awesome.

1110
01:06:52,386 --> 01:06:54,490
It's pretty cool.
- Yeah, it's not bad.

1111
01:06:57,793 --> 01:07:00,328
- This hair thing is
very complicated,
this hair placement.

1112
01:07:00,361 --> 01:07:02,463
- I know.
- I knew it was gonna be.

1113
01:07:02,496 --> 01:07:03,863
- Okay, heads closer together.
- Okay.

1114
01:07:03,896 --> 01:07:07,736
- Probably if people
hear our record
and don't know the history,

1115
01:07:07,770 --> 01:07:10,738
they wouldn't know
that we're up in our sixties.

1116
01:07:11,706 --> 01:07:14,376
You know. Of course,
then if we're touring,

1117
01:07:14,410 --> 01:07:17,011
we have to take naps
and things, but. .
(laughter)

1118
01:07:17,045 --> 01:07:18,880
- One, two, three!

1119
01:07:18,913 --> 01:07:21,516
(mellow rock music)

1120
01:07:22,851 --> 01:07:27,588
- Rock & roll is kind of just
learning how to age.

1121
01:07:27,621 --> 01:07:32,895
And Fanny is one of the only
examples of women playing music

1122
01:07:32,928 --> 01:07:36,998
that are defying other things
that are crushing against us.

1123
01:07:39,768 --> 01:07:41,870
- And Fanny is its own zip code.

1124
01:07:41,903 --> 01:07:44,540
The mould has been broken
for people that are older now,

1125
01:07:44,573 --> 01:07:46,941
showing they can still. .
they can still bring it.

1126
01:08:06,028 --> 01:08:08,996
- You know, so, my big joke
with my friends now,

1127
01:08:09,030 --> 01:08:11,766
maybe I'll be famous
when I'm 80.

1128
01:08:14,436 --> 01:08:16,838
(ripping sound)
- Oh. . !

1129
01:08:18,406 --> 01:08:20,908
- Your baby. . has been born.

1130
01:08:20,941 --> 01:08:23,545
- They look great.
- Yeah, I love them.

1131
01:08:23,578 --> 01:08:25,380
- Oh, my god,
this is awesome.

1132
01:08:25,413 --> 01:08:28,616
Wow. It looks great.
- Yeah.

1133
01:08:28,650 --> 01:08:30,751
- Oh, how exciting.

1134
01:08:30,785 --> 01:08:33,655
Hey, Kirk.
What do you think?

1135
01:08:33,688 --> 01:08:36,325
- Oh, my god,
it's just amazing, isn't it?
It's so cool.

1136
01:08:36,358 --> 01:08:38,060
And, hey, the photo
of the three of you?

1137
01:08:38,093 --> 01:08:39,461
Seriously.
- You like it?

1138
01:08:39,495 --> 01:08:41,463
- I like it.
I love it.

1139
01:08:44,098 --> 01:08:46,501
- When and where
can you get this album,

1140
01:08:46,535 --> 01:08:47,870
'cause it's dropping out
March right?

1141
01:08:47,903 --> 01:08:49,905
- It's going to be out
March 2nd,

1142
01:08:49,938 --> 01:08:51,706
so you can't share this yet.

1143
01:08:51,740 --> 01:08:53,508
This is your own personal copy.

1144
01:08:53,541 --> 01:08:55,343
- Wait, wait!
- Hide that.

1145
01:08:55,376 --> 01:08:56,978
Don't look. . don't look.

1146
01:08:57,011 --> 01:08:59,548
- No, it's beating,
it's got a heart.
Oh, my god.

1147
01:08:59,581 --> 01:09:03,085
- I'm getting one and
I'm taking it to Vegas.

1148
01:09:03,118 --> 01:09:06,555
That's like
Mouse and Kelley a bit,
doesn't it?

1149
01:09:06,588 --> 01:09:09,525
- It's the Fillmore
poster art style,
then with our heritage,

1150
01:09:09,558 --> 01:09:13,528
the Filipino tattoos
because this is our. .
this is us.

1151
01:09:13,561 --> 01:09:16,698
- I really want to promote
Filipina American pride.

1152
01:09:16,731 --> 01:09:18,733
- Yeah.
- I mean to me,

1153
01:09:18,766 --> 01:09:22,070
that's really important
and this is a big step in that,

1154
01:09:22,103 --> 01:09:24,940
you know? I mean,
how else do you get
that attention

1155
01:09:24,973 --> 01:09:27,810
but playing loud rock & roll?
That's the best way.

1156
01:09:27,843 --> 01:09:31,780
- I'll just say that in
socio cultural alignment,

1157
01:09:31,813 --> 01:09:34,483
it's a perfect time for you guys
to be rocking right now.

1158
01:09:34,516 --> 01:09:35,816
- I think so too.

1159
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,565
- Hey, this is Brie Darling,
one third of the band,
Fanny Walked the Earth,

1160
01:09:49,598 --> 01:09:51,433
and I'm here to let you know

1163
01:09:56,138 --> 01:09:58,806
- Hey, this is Zach Monton,
host of Stingray Pause Play.

1164
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,845
Look out for the release
this week of legendary rock band
Fanny's new album,

1165
01:10:02,878 --> 01:10:04,646
Fanny Walked the Earth.

1166
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,983
Pick up the LP or the CD
in a store near you.

1167
01:10:08,850 --> 01:10:10,451
- Who knows?

1168
01:10:10,485 --> 01:10:15,456
With this album,
who knows what could happen?

1169
01:10:16,558 --> 01:10:18,693
This music I really connect
with it,

1170
01:10:18,726 --> 01:10:21,095
and it really takes me
to a wonderful place.

1171
01:10:21,128 --> 01:10:24,098
You know, it's like catching
the perfect wave, if you will.

1172
01:10:24,131 --> 01:10:27,770
There's no feeling like that,
just being on that wave.

1173
01:11:06,841 --> 01:11:09,578
(soft music)

1174
01:11:23,025 --> 01:11:26,661
(squawking)

1175
01:11:38,106 --> 01:11:40,608
- With my mom having a stroke,

1176
01:11:40,641 --> 01:11:43,678
it's obviously been
a whirlwind of. .

1177
01:11:43,711 --> 01:11:46,781
every single emotion
I can possibly experience.

1178
01:11:48,083 --> 01:11:51,018
There's just a tremendous
amount of sadness.

1179
01:11:56,958 --> 01:12:01,963
- I could see the clouds
separate

1180
01:12:01,996 --> 01:12:03,965
as soon as I heard her voice.

1181
01:12:03,998 --> 01:12:06,100
You know what? She's alive.

1182
01:12:06,133 --> 01:12:08,536
She's my friend of 50 years,
you know.

1183
01:12:08,570 --> 01:12:11,673
I need to go see how she is.
I'm heading up there.

1184
01:12:12,975 --> 01:12:16,711
You know, I'm a little nervous,
I'm a little nervous
about seeing her.

1185
01:12:16,745 --> 01:12:21,148
Just 'cause I've convinced
myself that. .

1186
01:12:21,181 --> 01:12:25,053
I have a picture and
the picture's good, you know.

1187
01:12:25,086 --> 01:12:28,723
Um, and I just want it
to be true.

1188
01:12:46,941 --> 01:12:51,913
- I know that this is the start
of a new part of our lives.

1189
01:12:51,946 --> 01:12:54,816
I've spoken to her,
but I haven't seen her.

1190
01:12:54,850 --> 01:12:56,918
So, um. .

1191
01:12:56,951 --> 01:13:00,721
I know that things are not. .

1192
01:13:00,755 --> 01:13:04,258
right now the same as they were
even a week and a half ago.

1193
01:13:04,291 --> 01:13:06,995
So what does that mean,
you know,

1194
01:13:07,028 --> 01:13:10,198
we're never going to play
together again and, I mean,

1195
01:13:10,231 --> 01:13:14,970
the weird thing is I'm already
nostalgic for things
that we've done,

1196
01:13:15,003 --> 01:13:18,340
and it could be premature.
I just don't know.

1197
01:13:18,373 --> 01:13:22,276
-You know, she's not able to be
in her body right now

1198
01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:24,646
the way that we've all
been used to, especially her.

1199
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:29,851
So I'm trying to give her a lot
of space so that she can uh. .

1200
01:13:29,885 --> 01:13:33,588
be in a healing place and um. .

1201
01:13:35,156 --> 01:13:40,895
re-emerge as whoever
she's gonna be
and however we can interact.

- I don't think Mary will care.
- No, I don't think
Mary will care.

1211
01:14:21,770 --> 01:14:24,706
- Well, this was my body's way
of saying to me,

1212
01:14:24,740 --> 01:14:28,810
"Listen, you're not gonna stop
and take care of yourself,

1213
01:14:28,843 --> 01:14:31,980
then we're just simply
gonna stop. "
And that's what happened.

1214
01:14:32,013 --> 01:14:35,783
I've had to rethink everything
about what I'm doing.

1215
01:14:38,786 --> 01:14:40,721
- Did you talk?

1216
01:14:40,755 --> 01:14:45,260
- Yeah, they told me I had to do
mouth exercises like. .

1217
01:14:46,728 --> 01:14:48,028
- Really?

1218
01:14:48,061 --> 01:14:51,866
- Yeah. Trying to get
this side activated.

1219
01:14:51,900 --> 01:14:53,968
- Well,
it's. . it's activated.

1220
01:14:54,001 --> 01:14:55,970
It's doing push-ups!
(laughing)

1221
01:14:59,006 --> 01:15:01,976
- Tell me if I blow it.
- No, my bed's already. .

1222
01:15:02,876 --> 01:15:05,313
- Well, for Fanny, the timing
was unfortunate

1223
01:15:05,346 --> 01:15:07,048
because they couldn't. .
they had a new album

1224
01:15:07,081 --> 01:15:09,350
but they could really support it
by touring.

1225
01:15:09,383 --> 01:15:13,788
And it's always hard to launch
a new record without touring.

1226
01:15:13,821 --> 01:15:16,390
Well, you just have
this whole force

1227
01:15:16,423 --> 01:15:18,726
that comes together
to promote a record,

1228
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,330
and I hope they can get back
on the road and. . and rock out.

1229
01:15:22,363 --> 01:15:25,166
- We get a lot of these.
People holding their albums,

1230
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,335
which I love, or taking them
out of the envelope,

1231
01:15:27,368 --> 01:15:29,270
so. . and he said,
"Oh, good then.

1232
01:15:29,303 --> 01:15:31,473
All you need to do now is
for Fanny to walk there,

1233
01:15:31,506 --> 01:15:33,941
walk on over to the U. K. "

1234
01:15:33,975 --> 01:15:35,443
I'll have to answer that.

1235
01:15:35,476 --> 01:15:37,145
Tim. .

1236
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,148
Okay. .

1237
01:15:40,181 --> 01:15:42,150
"On our way. "

1238
01:15:43,518 --> 01:15:45,753
Here's another one.

1239
01:15:45,786 --> 01:15:47,388
Australia.

1240
01:15:48,523 --> 01:15:52,160
- These days, the only way
to make money is touring,

1241
01:15:52,193 --> 01:15:55,530
because record sales
don't count anymore.

1242
01:15:55,563 --> 01:15:59,366
I really don't know
how they're going to do it,
you know.

1243
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,003
Without Jean standing up
and playing bass,

1244
01:16:02,036 --> 01:16:04,238
and being up there,

1245
01:16:04,271 --> 01:16:06,975
I don't know
how they can be Fanny.

1246
01:16:09,476 --> 01:16:12,113
- So it doesn't feel foreign.

1247
01:16:12,146 --> 01:16:14,548
I mean it feels still right,

1248
01:16:14,581 --> 01:16:16,116
I can play,

1249
01:16:16,150 --> 01:16:19,453
but my right hand isn't
coordinated with it so. .

1250
01:16:19,486 --> 01:16:22,090
but I'm trying to get it
to communicate.

1251
01:16:22,123 --> 01:16:25,093
"Oh, yeah,
move these two fingers.

1252
01:16:25,126 --> 01:16:28,061
That's what you need to do
and you can play bass again. "

1253
01:16:28,095 --> 01:16:31,131
- I do have the feeling
that at some point,

1254
01:16:31,165 --> 01:16:33,168
you'll be able to play it
again.

1255
01:16:33,201 --> 01:16:34,970
- Yeah, I do too.
- I really do.

1256
01:16:35,003 --> 01:16:38,005
- There's no "maybe it will be";

1257
01:16:38,038 --> 01:16:42,210
it is definitely part
of Lee's legacy is
to have the bass,

1258
01:16:42,243 --> 01:16:47,181
which is really a wonderful
thing that he's become such
a great bass player

1259
01:16:47,215 --> 01:16:50,818
and he values instruments
and he knows what's going on.

1260
01:16:50,851 --> 01:16:52,986
- Well, yeah,
to me, this is irreplaceable.

1261
01:16:53,020 --> 01:16:55,523
You know, you can. . I mean,
you can get another,

1262
01:16:55,556 --> 01:16:58,360
another sixty-two P-bass
or whatever,

1263
01:16:58,393 --> 01:17:00,328
but you can't get
this bass.

1264
01:17:00,361 --> 01:17:04,298
And to me, the sound,
that's the sound of Mom.

1265
01:17:06,533 --> 01:17:10,171
- Of course, I would love for us
to play.

1266
01:17:11,238 --> 01:17:14,275
That's uh. .
I guess that's part
of my big hope.

1267
01:17:14,308 --> 01:17:17,045
Only if she wants to,
you know.

1268
01:17:17,078 --> 01:17:19,413
And if she doesn't,
I'm so okay with that.

1269
01:17:19,446 --> 01:17:21,916
Um, but sure, that's a little. .

1270
01:17:21,950 --> 01:17:23,951
that's a little vision
I have in my head,

1271
01:17:23,985 --> 01:17:26,555
you know, and
I'm gonna just. .

1272
01:17:26,588 --> 01:17:28,323
take her cue.

1273
01:17:28,356 --> 01:17:31,560
- Blue Elan asked us
to sign some merchandise.

1274
01:17:31,593 --> 01:17:36,430
- Why don't you do a stamp
and then just make
any little mark by hand.

1275
01:17:37,131 --> 01:17:39,433
So just go slow
and hold it on there,

1276
01:17:39,466 --> 01:17:41,001
maybe gush it around.

1277
01:17:41,035 --> 01:17:43,170
I'll try to hold it
flat for you.

1278
01:17:45,273 --> 01:17:46,440
- Oh, gosh.

1279
01:17:46,473 --> 01:17:47,975
- Jean, it's fine!

1280
01:17:48,008 --> 01:17:50,145
Because you're. . you're. .
it has a personal. .

1281
01:17:50,178 --> 01:17:54,648
it actually is meant to be
this way 'cause it has
a personalized touch to it.

1282
01:17:54,681 --> 01:17:56,951
I mean it has. .
- Stop being a perfectionist.

1283
01:17:56,985 --> 01:17:59,386
- It has a touch to it,
you know, I like it.

1284
01:17:59,420 --> 01:18:02,456
- Boy, I can't read my own name.
- I can't read my own writing.

1285
01:18:02,490 --> 01:18:05,560
- I think it's okay,
I just filled in the A
and the E a little bit.

1286
01:18:05,593 --> 01:18:08,463
- It's pretty cool.
- It's really bitchin'

1287
01:18:08,496 --> 01:18:09,596
- Yeah.

1288
01:18:11,031 --> 01:18:13,301
- Hey, that looks good!

1289
01:18:13,335 --> 01:18:16,103
- Yeah, I figured out
the pressure
I have to put on it.

1290
01:18:16,136 --> 01:18:18,606
- You got it.
- Oh, that looks really good.

1291
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,375
- She's got it down now.
- Yeah, we got it.

1292
01:18:22,676 --> 01:18:27,415
- And the new song, by the way,
Lured, is great, you know.

1293
01:18:27,448 --> 01:18:29,616
I mean, it's the only one
I've heard, in fairness;

1294
01:18:29,650 --> 01:18:31,886
but it makes me want
to hear the album now.

1295
01:18:34,688 --> 01:18:39,626
- What Lured Away is about is
not getting complacent.

1296
01:18:41,028 --> 01:18:46,533
Or not forgetting who you really
are or what you really want.

01:20:16,523 --> 01:20:19,626
♪ I've been lured. . ♪

1326
01:20:19,660 --> 01:20:21,730
- In 1971,

1327
01:20:21,763 --> 01:20:23,798
when Steely Dan did their first
gig in Under the Icehouse,

1328
01:20:23,831 --> 01:20:26,633
the opening act was Fanny.

1329
01:20:26,666 --> 01:20:29,570
And we did our sound check
and I walked off stage
and all of a sudden,

1330
01:20:29,603 --> 01:20:31,806
I heard this music
and I went, "What's that"?

1331
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,808
And I turned around and it was
Fanny doing their sound check.

1332
01:20:34,841 --> 01:20:37,611
These ladies are frightening,

1333
01:20:37,645 --> 01:20:42,416
so it's my honour and
my privilege to be here
to honour these folks.

1334
01:20:42,450 --> 01:20:45,386
(cheering and applause)

1335
01:20:45,420 --> 01:20:47,521
- Here they are!

1336
01:20:47,555 --> 01:20:49,590
- Fanny is being honoured.

1337
01:20:49,623 --> 01:20:51,325
There were six of us,

1338
01:20:51,358 --> 01:20:53,495
but Nickey kind of just
disappeared.

1339
01:20:53,528 --> 01:20:56,596
I hear that she doesn't want
to be contacted,

1340
01:20:56,630 --> 01:21:00,768
she doesn't want to have
anything to do with Fanny.

1341
01:21:12,746 --> 01:21:16,183
- History is a spiral,
as it never returns
to the same point

1342
01:21:16,216 --> 01:21:20,388
and so it may be that
what's happening with Fanny
is they've now. .

1343
01:21:20,421 --> 01:21:22,190
they pioneered it;

1344
01:21:22,223 --> 01:21:24,358
it took a long time for it
to happen.

1345
01:21:24,391 --> 01:21:27,461
Other people picked up
the mantle and were successful

1346
01:21:27,495 --> 01:21:30,665
and maybe they have now
paved the way

1347
01:21:30,698 --> 01:21:33,568
for what Fanny can do
in the future.

1348
01:21:33,601 --> 01:21:36,236
- As the founder and editor
of the She Shreds Magazine,

1349
01:21:36,270 --> 01:21:40,208
the world's only print magazine
dedicated to women
who play guitar and bass,

1350
01:21:40,241 --> 01:21:42,643
Fabi Reyna is a passionate
force in the industry.

1351
01:21:42,676 --> 01:21:45,580
- I started playing guitar
when I was nine years old

1352
01:21:45,613 --> 01:21:50,518
and the lack of visibility
and the lack of representation
in guitar media, um,

1353
01:21:50,551 --> 01:21:54,121
you know, almost caused me
to not pursue my dream.

1354
01:21:54,155 --> 01:21:58,425
Fifty percent of new guitar
buyers of the past five years
are women.

1355
01:21:58,458 --> 01:22:00,461
(cheering)

1356
01:22:00,495 --> 01:22:03,565
And that fells really amazing
to be up here
and to be able to say that.

1357
01:22:03,598 --> 01:22:05,800
To be able to tell you
that truth.

1358
01:22:05,833 --> 01:22:08,435
This is She Shreds Magazine.

1359
01:22:08,468 --> 01:22:10,638
It's my publication and um,

1360
01:22:10,671 --> 01:22:13,306
I've known about Fanny
for a long time,

1361
01:22:13,340 --> 01:22:15,810
and for us, our cover,

1362
01:22:15,843 --> 01:22:19,380
it needs to be someone
that has made a dif. .
is making a difference,

1363
01:22:19,413 --> 01:22:21,681
has made a difference,
is an amazing talent

1364
01:22:21,715 --> 01:22:24,485
and also is, you know,
you know. .

1365
01:22:24,518 --> 01:22:27,421
we're promoting something
that they're coming out with.

1366
01:22:27,455 --> 01:22:30,491
And they felt like this year,
it was their 50-year anniversary

1367
01:22:30,525 --> 01:22:32,393
and it seemed really right.

1368
01:22:32,426 --> 01:22:35,530
Sol this is going to be
our first legacy profile.

1369
01:22:35,563 --> 01:22:38,465
Fanny is realistically
a pioneer,

1370
01:22:38,498 --> 01:22:42,370
and they represent so much
for the Filipino community

1371
01:22:42,403 --> 01:22:45,540
and the Filipino-American
community and the women of
colour community.

1372
01:22:45,573 --> 01:22:48,676
So I think it's going to be
really impactful
for those that,

1373
01:22:48,710 --> 01:22:51,578
you know, kind of feel
like they're alone

1374
01:22:51,611 --> 01:22:55,283
or that there hasn't. .
they haven't been a part
of history in the past,

1375
01:22:55,316 --> 01:22:58,385
and they're sort of like
the proof and the. .

1376
01:22:58,418 --> 01:23:01,788
the sort of idea that, yeah,
we've been here all along.

1377
01:23:03,356 --> 01:23:05,260
- As a young adult,

1378
01:23:05,293 --> 01:23:08,796
Filipinos were invisible
as a culture.

1379
01:23:08,830 --> 01:23:11,900
I don't think I ever walked
around with a sense of pride.

1380
01:23:11,933 --> 01:23:14,235
But I get to now.

1381
01:23:15,503 --> 01:23:18,640
- Okay, the pretty sexy Jean.
(chuckling)

1382
01:23:19,873 --> 01:23:25,380
- This is the first time
we'll be playing together
at all performing.

1383
01:23:25,413 --> 01:23:28,248
Jean is amazingly courageous.

1384
01:23:28,281 --> 01:23:29,950
She's so willing.

1385
01:23:31,953 --> 01:23:33,921
- Sack of flour coming up.

1386
01:23:33,955 --> 01:23:36,290
- Yeah.
- Got it.

1387
01:23:36,323 --> 01:23:39,493
- I'll be filling in on bass,
and it feels great.

1388
01:23:39,526 --> 01:23:42,963
I mean, it's actually
pretty natural for me to play,

1389
01:23:42,996 --> 01:23:45,866
to just sit in for her
as her hands.

1390
01:23:49,836 --> 01:23:51,940
- And I've had dreams where,

1391
01:23:51,973 --> 01:23:57,311
Okay, these two fingers
are working now,

1392
01:23:57,345 --> 01:24:00,013
I can play bass.
(laughing)

1393
01:24:00,046 --> 01:24:02,316
I really have had dreams
like that.

I can feel her

1410
01:24:55,836 --> 01:24:58,605
The closest I can get to that
is Lee.

1411
01:24:58,638 --> 01:25:01,375
- After we set up
and Brie was on the drums

1412
01:25:01,408 --> 01:25:04,478
and then Lee came on
and he hit the bass;

1413
01:25:04,511 --> 01:25:07,381
all of a sudden that feeling
and that music was there,

1414
01:25:07,415 --> 01:25:10,451

(crowd whistling)

1429
01:25:53,828 --> 01:25:55,796
- So tonight,
I'm just very overwhelmed,

1430
01:25:55,830 --> 01:25:57,431
I'm very excited.

1431
01:25:57,465 --> 01:25:59,466
To me it was just
very inspiring to see,

1432
01:25:59,500 --> 01:26:02,903
especially for myself
being a young woman of colour;
a Filipina also.

1433
01:26:02,936 --> 01:26:05,940
I think when I learned
about Fanny's music

1434
01:26:05,973 --> 01:26:09,643
and their accomplishments
many years ago, um,

1435
01:26:09,676 --> 01:26:11,745
I was just frustrated
to know that, you know,

1436
01:26:11,778 --> 01:26:14,115
how come I didn't know
about these women earlier on?

1437
01:26:14,148 --> 01:26:17,785
How come I don't hear my parents
playing their music
or my friends

1438
01:26:17,818 --> 01:26:19,886
or even people
in the community.

1439
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,756
They were basically erased
from musical history

1440
01:26:22,790 --> 01:26:24,625
and I think everyone needs
to know their name.

1441
01:26:24,658 --> 01:26:26,860
They need to be
a household band name.

1442
01:26:26,893 --> 01:26:29,630
- Being a female band,
Asian American

1443
01:26:29,663 --> 01:26:32,065
and then lesbian women
in the band,

1444
01:26:32,098 --> 01:26:35,703
they couldn't have
made it harder for themselves.
(laughing)

1445
01:26:37,838 --> 01:26:40,006
Part of that is
what Bowie liked,

1446
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:41,875
someone who just goes for it.

1447
01:26:41,908 --> 01:26:44,011
Who doesn't give in;
who doesn't give up;

1448
01:26:44,045 --> 01:26:46,546
who doesn't worry about the odds
or what anybody's thinking.

1449
01:26:46,580 --> 01:26:50,585
He liked women to be as powerful
as anybody else.

1450
01:26:50,618 --> 01:26:53,720
David was right:
the world needs to know.

1451
01:26:53,753 --> 01:26:56,756
They need to know about Fanny.

1452
01:26:57,825 --> 01:27:01,728
- The conversation about
women's place

1453
01:27:01,761 --> 01:27:06,066
is right smack dab
in the middle of rock & roll.

1454
01:27:06,100 --> 01:27:08,501
And you've got this brick wall.

1455
01:27:08,535 --> 01:27:10,738
We just start taking the bricks
out from the bottom.

1456
01:27:10,771 --> 01:27:13,106
And okay, sometimes the wall
falls straight down,

1457
01:27:13,140 --> 01:27:14,841
it doesn't fall over,

1458
01:27:14,875 --> 01:27:16,943
but we'll just keep
taking the bricks out.

1459
01:27:18,045 --> 01:27:20,481
- The great thing about anybody,

1460
01:27:20,515 --> 01:27:22,483
once you've got
product out there,

1461
01:27:22,516 --> 01:27:24,885
even though
it gets deleted,

1462
01:27:24,918 --> 01:27:28,521
sooner or later
it's like a tide

1463
01:27:28,555 --> 01:27:31,225
with a message in a bottle,
it'll wash up somewhere.

1464
01:27:31,258 --> 01:27:33,093
They wash up
in second-hand stores.

1465
01:27:33,126 --> 01:27:35,830
Somebody goes through
and they pick it up

1466
01:27:35,863 --> 01:27:39,466
and they just like the look
of the sleeve and they buy it
and they take it home and. .

1467
01:27:39,500 --> 01:27:41,968
"I've discovered this great band
and they're called, 'Fanny. '

1468
01:27:42,001 --> 01:27:44,171
Listen to this song. "
You know, I mean,

1469
01:27:44,205 --> 01:27:46,006
that's the great thing.
It's always there.

1470
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:49,610
It just needs. . it just needs
discovering again.

1471
01:27:49,643 --> 01:27:51,911
- You know, they made five
records.

1472
01:27:51,945 --> 01:27:55,115
And, you know, the Go-Go's
get a lot of attention

1473
01:27:55,148 --> 01:27:57,751
for what we did and
we only made three records.

1474
01:27:57,785 --> 01:28:02,190
I think they're way overdue
for what they accomplished.

1475
01:28:02,223 --> 01:28:05,826
- Fanny should be inducted in
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

1476
01:28:05,860 --> 01:28:09,963
just for the contribution of,
that was overlooked,

1477
01:28:09,996 --> 01:28:12,766
of that
they created something.

1478
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,201
They. .
they were the catalysts.

1479
01:28:16,803 --> 01:28:19,573
- I think any time you look back
at the history of music,

1480
01:28:19,606 --> 01:28:21,708
especially the history
of women in music,

1481
01:28:21,741 --> 01:28:26,880
a seminal moment in time
was the advent of Fanny
when they came on the scene.

1482
01:28:26,913 --> 01:28:30,250
And the quality of their
records and their popularity

1483
01:28:30,283 --> 01:28:33,653
and their significance
is always going to be. .

1484
01:28:33,686 --> 01:28:37,190
embedded in the history of music
and the history of rock & roll.

1485
01:28:37,223 --> 01:28:39,660
- But what?
- No, the one where you go. .

1486
01:28:39,693 --> 01:28:42,730
(Raitt): They just were,
you know, considered badass
and they still are.

1487
01:28:42,763 --> 01:28:44,998
- Peace, love, bitches!
- Oh, wait, why don't. .

1488
01:28:45,031 --> 01:28:47,768
- Peace, love, babes.
I'm gonna get in my ride now.

1489
01:28:47,801 --> 01:28:50,705
- Yeah, man!
Oh, look at that fringe!

1490
01:28:50,738 --> 01:28:52,840
- My fringe will blow in the. .
in the wind.

1491
01:28:52,873 --> 01:28:54,841
- That's what I'm talking about.

1492
01:28:54,875 --> 01:28:58,245
- We did fight for the right
for women to rock.

1493
01:28:58,278 --> 01:29:03,816
But, you know, rock. . rocking
is really essentially a metaphor

1494
01:29:03,850 --> 01:29:07,086
for having the fearlessness
to try.

1495
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,090
And when it doesn't work,
when you fail,

1496
01:29:10,123 --> 01:29:12,025
you pick yourself
back up again.

1497
01:29:15,630 --> 01:29:20,266
- You gotta live who you are
and be gracious about it.

1498
01:29:20,300 --> 01:29:23,170
As far as I'm concerned, that's
the only way to live your life,

1499
01:29:23,203 --> 01:29:27,841
to really be gracious
with who you are no matter what.

1500
01:29:27,875 --> 01:29:30,010
- Ready?

1501
01:29:30,043 --> 01:29:31,678
Whoo-hoo!

1502
01:29:31,711 --> 01:29:33,813
- Started right up!
- All right!

1503
01:29:33,846 --> 01:29:37,651
- It would be nice to have
the recognition
for what we started

1504
01:29:37,685 --> 01:29:41,055
all that time ago and
what we've turned it into.

1505
01:29:42,188 --> 01:29:45,158
And I have hopes.
I want to hope.

1506
01:29:45,191 --> 01:29:49,063
I want to feel okay
about hoping for the outcome,
you know.

1507
01:29:49,096 --> 01:29:51,665
So, I am.
So there, I said it.

1508
01:29:51,698 --> 01:29:53,233
(chuckling)

1509
01:29:53,266 --> 01:29:56,170
So, pooh-pooh for those of you
who said don't.
