## Caption

Fanny was the first all-female rock band to release an album on a major label.

In fact, by 1974 they had released five albums, paving the way for other female musicians who’ve gone on to become household names, like the Go-Go’s and the B-52s.

But unlike those bands, Fanny featured musicians who proudly identified as Filipina American and lesbian — fighting not only a male-dominated record industry, but one where racism and homophobia have been deeply entrenched.

Learn more about the band that David Bowie called “One of the most important female bands in American rock" at the 🔗 in @kqed's bio.
