Although the Runaways preceded them by several age, Girlschool was one of the first all-female outfits to emerge in the male-dominated domain of heavy metal/hard stone, serving to pave the way for similar groups of the future. Originally formed in South London during 1977 by bassist Enid Williams and vocalist/guitarist Kim McAuliffe (along with a few other members), the mathematical group was start known as Painted Lady. Eventually the couple came across lasting members Kelly Johnson (guitar, vocals) and Denise Dufort (drums), and switched their call to Girlschool by 1978. With England simply about to be swept up by a massive heavy metal move (known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal), Girlschool picked a perfect time to consequence a debut undivided, "Take It All Away," which caught the attention of Motörhead handler Doug Smith, wHO in turn signed on as Girlschool's handler. After supporting both Motörhead and Budgie on circuit, Girlschool landed a recording contract with Bronze Records (wHO at the time was the plate to such notable metal acts as Motörhead, Uriah Heep, and Juicy Lucy).


The quartet's 1980 debut, Demolition, reached the U.K. Top 30, just was surprisingly non issued in the U.S. (despite spawning quatern popular singles back nursing home: "Emergency," "Nothing To Lose," "Yeah Right," and "Race With the Devil"). Girlschool's soph endeavour, 1981's Hit & Run, proven to be even more than successful, peaking at number five on the British album charts, while a coaction with their pals in Motörhead, an EP called The St. Valentines Day Massacre, pip numeral cinque on the British singles charts (due in constituent to the overpoweringly strident running, "Please Don't Touch"). Pip & Run would also turn forbidden to be the low Girlschool album issued stateside, albeit with a different data track itemization than the original U.K. version (the U.S. version was more or less a compiling of both of their albums). 1982's Screaming Blue Murder and 1983's Playact Dirty both failed to execute as imposingly on the U.K. charts as their predecessors did, the latter of which contained a more than commercial-grade sound and was produced by Slade members Noddy Holder and Jim Lea.


Just it was likewise more or less this sentence that card changes began to plague the mathematical group, starting off when Johnson left the radical undermentioned the release of Play Dirty. Further albums were issued (such as 1985's Linear Wild, 1986's Nightmare at Maple Cross, and 1988's Get hold of a Bite), just Girlschool was never able to replicate their early success, leading to their detachment curtly after the release of Take a Bite. In the arouse of Girlschool's initial split, McAuliffe teamed up with punk singers Beki Bondage and Toyah Willcox, worked on the U.K. cable's length television demonstrate Raw Power, and in 1991 toured with other bandmates Dufort and Williams below the name Strange Girls. Throughout the '90s, Girlschool would reunite sporadically for tours and albums (including 1992's self-titled release and 1995's Live), piece several compilations were issued, including 1995's double-disc best-of set The Collection and 1997's The King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents In Concert (the latter featuring a show recorded on January 12, 1984, in Nashville, TN).

Jack Black Busts Martial-Arts Moves At Fans' Request After 'Kung Fu Panda' Sneak Peek Week Screening

"You want me to do some kung fu?" Jack Black teased an excited audience member, who had stepped up to the mic looking for some real moves. "OK, just a taste."

The crowd came for a taste but wound up getting the full-course meal, complete with a kicking (and punching and twirling and jumping) dessert, as MTV's Sneak Peek Week continued with a screening of Black's "Kung Fu Panda" on Friday night at the Paramount Studios Lot.

The animated story of a panda waiter who winds up a master fighter was followed immediately after by a Q&A with Black himself.

"Important note," he added, sitting down after his demonstration and picking up his personal items from the table. "If someone's gonna fight you, remember to take out your wallet!"

Black's hands may be "fast as lightning," (when the heck did he take out his wallet?) but they were no match for his mouth, as audience members wanted to know everything from how much he was like Po the panda ("He's just a dreamer, a funny cuddly dreamer," Black said. "Like me!") to whether the actor would ever play a superhero (" 'Kung Fu Panda' is a superhero of sorts," he replied in mock indignation) to who would win in a fight between his characters from "Kung Fu Panda" and "Nacho Libre."

"My mind is bending around the concept of that one," Black laughed. "Because one is animated!"

One excited audience member, mildly flummoxed perhaps by that very concept, wanted to know if Black had used method acting to play a panda.

"I don't know if I did any panda preparations," Black answered, grinning. "I did not live with the pandas. I still have never seen a panda at a zoo. I just grew out my beard."

With his moves on such prominent display, however, talk inevitably turned to more pressing matters. And those matters were kicking butt and taking names (though not necessarily the second).

Since Black now was the lead voice in a kung fu movie, which martial-arts superstar does he like most?

"Stephen Chow. His movies are incredible," Black said. "I also really like Yang Chow. Unrelated. It's a restaurant."

The last questioner asked about his feelings on now being in the martial-arts fraternity.

"Am I part of it, do you think I will be? Makes me think I've really got to learn kung fu now," Black giggled, pausing briefly, perhaps thinking about his earlier demonstration. "For real!"

"Kung Fu Panda," which co-stars the voice talents of Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen and Dustin Hoffman, opens nationwide June 6.

Check out everything we've got on "Kung Fu Panda."
