The 'B' Girls ep


The B-Girls formed in 1977 and featured Cynthia, Lucasta and Rhonda Ross, along with Xenia Splawinsky, and played their first gigs at places like Club David, the Crash'n'Burn, the Edge and the Horseshoe. Their music was often described as punk mixed with sixties girl-group pop. Greg Shaw of Bomp Records fame, came to Toronto to see the band play and offered to put out an ep. The A side is 'Fun at the Beach', and the flipside is called 'B-Side' appropriately enough with the chorus "Girls, we're girls, b-girls, just girls".
