The B-Girls were a Toronto punk rock band from the first wave of punk in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The B-Girls formed in 1977 with an all-girl line-up with Lucasta Ross (A.K.A. Rochas) on vocals, Renee Chetsky (guitar), Xenia Holiday (guitar), Cynthia Ross (bass) and Rhonda Ross on drums. who would later be replaced by Marcy Saddy who had briefly played with the Demics. The bands collected recordings were released in 1997 remixed by Chris Spedding in a cd entitled "Who Says Girls Can't Rock". The members of the band are in the documentary "The Last Pogo Jumps Again".
Came to this via Stiv Bators. Kind of wonderful in a sort-of kind of way I suppose if you were to ask me, but that's kind of presumptive really if you don't mind me saying.
Not in the UK they didn't which really sucks! I saw the London Calling tour at the Electric Ballroom and the opening acts were Joe Ely and Lee "scratch" Perry. Would have preferred to see them.
My first band at 12 and our first gig was better than this. Wow what a piece of garbage. Oh ya they were friends with Sid Vicious who also couldn't play an instrument.

Renee Chetsky was my sister Penny's best friend. every time i picked up the phone, "billy hang up!" the era of one telephone per household. ✌🧡
My favorite song when I saw them open for Clash and Undertones at O'Keefe Center in 79
WOW!!! I saw them, dressed like Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders backing up the Undertones and Clash at the Theatre St Denis in Montreal in 79!
charming!
thankee for posting this! i've been craving to see some B-Girls for Years!
ggx
This song reminds me of "My boyfriend's back" by the Angels.
I saw them on The Clash London Calling tour, thanks for uploading this video!
At the O'Keefe Centre? I saw them open for the Clash and Undertones there 40 years ago this month.

@@BillBoxstep I saw them in Montreal on that same tour, the 'b' girls were wearing cowgirl outfits, hats, shirts and boots.
This is amazing. Thanks for posting.
Outside of some photos I took of them at Hurrahs in NYC back in the day, this the first time I've heard or seen this band since!
cynthia ross rocks!
Blonde girl with a Rickenbacker.Don't need nothing more
holy, holy holy, crap.
this is amazing. i wish all bands forever sounded like this.
that would suck. music isnt meant to sound all the same but i do love these girls
i'm in love ::: true punk romance :::
Very nice ladies!
Nice....i've never seen any B-Girls' vids before.
We had Dishrags on the West Coast. I hate to say this, but Dishrags were the real deal.
This is from approximately the late 70's. The B-girls were part of the Toronto punk scene.
OMG thats my mom!!!!!!!
which one?
They're supposed to sound simple. The songs are very nice. Check out "Fun at the beach", you'll be hooked.
On their album this song is called "Boys Are Drinking"! Is that the actual title, because "High School Dance" makes more sense.
Demais!
To think that they toured with pretty much everybody important back in 70's punk, but in the end did not make it... crime of the century. Just crazy.
pretty cute ,lol :)
the Singing is terrible... but brings back memories
Lookin' for some B-girls, didn't get very far.... (Teenage Head)
👄💖👄
Troppu Togasa!!!
PAINFUL!!!
You mean it's painful these creative women play better than you do?
Sorry but this lacks passion and soul.

Lol
So post some of your tracks and let us critique them.

The Shaggs were better!
How about the Slits ?
its unfair to compare anyone to the Shaggs! Nobody could fill those shoes.
No, but continue to live in that delusion.
