To some exciting, spirited, empowering female champions of the original punk scene and beyond, to others a poor misogynistic karaoke act to titillate the over 40 male audience. Always one to sit firmly on the fence, I had reserved judgement until I actually got to see them perform and tonight's show was my first taste. For me they
