Girlschool started in 1975 when Enid Williams (Bass, Vocals) and Kim McAuliffe (Rhythm Guitar, Vocals) formed an all girl rock covers band called ´Painted Lady´ in South London.
Kelly Johnson and Denise Dufort later joined and in April 1978 they changed their name to ´Girlschool´
Their first single ´Take it all away´ was released on the ´City Records´ label which led to them gaining a Motörhead support slot on the Overkill tour in 1979.
After signing with Lemmy´s record company Bronze later that year, the band released their first album ´Demolition´ in 1980.
After playing Japan in 1982, Enid left and was replaced by Gil Weston of The Killjoys and Girlschool recorded their third album ´Screaming Blue Murder´.
After Kelly left to live in L.A. she was replaced by Cris Bonacci on lead guitar and singer Jackie Bodimead on lead vocals for the 1985 album ´Running Wild´.
After many more line-up changes and releases on various labels, the original bassist/vocalist Enid rejoined the band in 2000 and in ´02 they released the ´21st Anniversary – Not that Innocent´ album.
They are arguably the longest running female rock band in the world!
