Avengers "K%R%O%Q Radio Interview, May 14th, 1978"

One of the greatest bands to ever emerge from San Francisco. 

Visionary vocalist messiah Penelope Huston and her band of punks The Avengers lasted a little over 2 years.  They never released an album during that time and becoming disenchanted with it, the band broke up.  After The Avengers demise, Penelope focused on a solo career and is still playing to this very day with the reformed Avengers.  

They also opened for what is now known as the Sex Pistols final gig at Winterland with the Nuns.  Huston's lyrics dealt with everything lost in American culture, race and being a marked pillar of society.  They originally released singles and the now infamous 12" on Go! Records produced by Steve Jones.  This is The Avengers radio interview on KROQ on May 14th, 1978, as well as the following artists interviews and music:

*Generation X
*Billy Idol
*Sex Pistols
*The Clash
*Kim Fowley
*X-Ray Spex
*Nuns
*Dils
*F-Word

Radio broadcasting when it mattered.

Avengers "Died For Your Sins"

San Francisco's Avengers are infamous for being the opening band for the Sex Pistols very last show in San Francisco, and with Penelope on vocals there's no doubt that the female fronted band struck a chord with everyone who had seen them. Unlike most pseudo pop-punk shit bands on TV today, they didn't have the millions of dollars or the mass corporations backing them so they could take over the world and given Penelope her rightful place in the punk rock hall of fame as a true strong female kicking out the jams and putting out an amazing body of work. This is a compilation of different recordings from the early days, just to give you a taste to find everything they ever put out to buy. Subsequently, she had a solo career and the Avengers have been back at it from what I hear. Regardless, support this band in any way possible is what our staff endorse uniamosusly. Mandatory macho bullshit destroyers...
