tracks 13-21 from the 1986 album Faster Frightwig: Kill! Kill!!

While not a household name, raunchy and rockin' San Francisco-based all-girl band Frightwig, were highly influential on the likes of Courtney Love, Kat Bjelland and Jennifer Finch who individually would go on to be a part of some of the most notable girl rock bands of the 90's. Bands with dudes in 'em liked 'em too: Sonic Youth, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More and Nirvana were all fans of the troupe (A Frightwig shirt can even be seen on Kurt Cobain in their MTV Unplugged performance), and Jeffrey and Steven McDonald from Redd Kross were so enamored with the 'Wig that they not only produced 1989's Phone Sexy EP, but also covered the bands song "Crazy World" on their 1993 Phaseshifter album.

This album is a compilation of their first two LP's, 1984's Cat Farm Faboo and 1986's Faster, Frightwig: Kill!! Kill!! and is definitive listening for anyone interested in the evolution of Grrl Rock. Key tracks: "My Crotch Does Not Say 'Go'", "A Man's Got To Do What A Man's Got To Do", "Crazy World", "Punk Rock Jail Bait", "Booby Prize"
