Dolly Mixture – How Come You’re Such a Hit with the Boys, Jane?

Dolly Mixture - The Demonstration Tapes

Debsey Wykes was one-third of Dolly Mixture, an early 1980s Cambridge band who pushed post-punk towards what later would become indiepop. Being an all-woman band somehow helped with that. About her time in the band, Wykes recently wrote the memoir Teenage Dream. I am terribly behind on reading books so I don’t see myself reading it any time soon, but I do enjoy the reviews, such as this one in the Guardian last week. And of course there’s the music, such as this very teenage and very punk-in-spirit song which has long been my favourite of theirs.
