In 1973, ISIS was the name chosen for an eight person all-female rock outfit founded by Goldie and the Gingerbreads alumnae Carol MacDonald and Ginger Bianco. In an age when the phrase ?all-woman rock-band? was synonymous with the term ?novelty act,? ISIS was a band made up of immensely talented women who were world-class instrumentalists. ISIS was a self-contained band, writing and performing original material and playing every note of it themselves. They decided on a conscious level to reach their audience through their music rather than through their sexuality.
