Strange as it may seen, all-female or female-led bands have only recently transcended the novelty status conferred on the Feminine Complex 27 years ago. Kids may grow up today knowing that they can play music regardless of age, gender or ability, but the Feminine Complex didn't have that kind of encouragement when they started. All they had was their own determination and the loving support of their parents. That their music would improbably survive the 1970s and '80s and still sound fresh in the '90s is a small triumph. The reissue of Livin' Love proves, as Judi Griffith remembers, that the Feminine Complex were truly on to something. "In our minds," she recalls more than two decades after the release of this strange and wonderful record, "we were getting there. We were almost there. In our minds, we still have the presence of mind. We almost made it."
- Jonathan Marx, from the liner notes of the 1996 reissue of Livin' Love
(this is a fan-made profile, made with the permission of one of the many labels that's released records by the band. as far as I know they're not operating any longer and won't be in the foreseeable future. but if you want to leave a comment... who knows... couldn't hurt)
