June speaks about the upcoming autobiography that begins in the Philippines and chronicles the adventures that lead from ukeleles in Manila to guitars in California, electric instruments, forming all-girl bands and world tours. I’m sure there will be many more interviews to come!
Hey girls, How are you. I was a huge fan from the first LP on. Still a record collector, I have all five LPs including rare Promo copys of the first 4. My favorite LP was Mothers Pride, But my favorite song was and still is Bilnd Alley. June wailing on guitars. I saw you at the Santa Monica Civic in 1971 ( I was a senior in High School). Your live version of Blind Alley was awesome. Just found this website, Nice to hear the original 4 of you are still around. June I love your LP Heartsong, I have Nicky’s only solo LP as well “Diamond in a Junkyard”. So what are you all up to now-a-days? Would love to hear from you all. My wife and I live in Markleeville, Ca. Pop. 200. Drop in sometime, Take care…….KURT
Thanks so much for the NPR interview link as I somehow missed that when it aired. Somewhere in my wall of vinyl is a 25 minute Nightbird (Allison Steele) interview which I believe was done for the Armed Forces Radio Network. I was always a big fan of the band and proud owner of all the vinyl albums as well as First Time in a Long Time # 0003.
