I've seen The Knife live a couple years back but just recently discovered that Fever Ray is Karin Dreijer Andersson, one of the sister/brother members of that band. Check out the Knife's song "Heartbeats"...

Suzi Quatro!
Suzi Quatro's solo performance. Previously she was in The Pleasure Seekers with her sisters (mid to late 1960's), an all female band that inspired many a girl rock band, including my old bands (...also just read that Joan Jett claimed SQ as an early role model). I also remember her as Leather Tuscadero, Pinky's little sister, on Happy Days!
