Frigidettes

Together for only a year or so this all-girl lineup got to play some cool gigs and really helped the Fresno scene get started. Corrine and Gina started jamming together and Linda was going to play keyboards but decided to sing instead. Cathy was added on bass and they had a band. They had a new wave influence but were punk enough to get on the MRR comp. Punky anti-war lyrics. The idea for their name came from a British all-girl punk band called the Mo-Dettes and Frigidaire refrigerators. Cute idea. The WRECKS from Reno, an all-girl punk band who was also on the MRR Notsoquiet Comp played here in '81 and the FRIGIDETTES were gigging at the time. There was a great party with the two girl bands. I heard from Linda a couple years ago. She's living in L.A. Gina emailed recently with an update. She's a paralegal here in Fresburg. Corrine is back in town after living in S.F. and Monterrey for 13 years. Cathy is an attorney in San Francisco. Linda Abrahamian-Vocals Gina Arnold-Guitar Cathy Pilibos-Bass Corrine Diaz-Drums
