”We will note that our personal high point was the Frightwig concert wherein some spectacularly-dressed-and-costumed people “crashed” the stage and participated in an anarchic Iggy Pop-like singalong.”
“Me, Kat and Jennifer Finch all watched Frightwig on the same night and all decided to start bands the next day. Frightwig are the true grandmothers of riot grrl and everything Without them there would be no Hole, no Babes in Toyland, no L7, no PJ Harvey, no riot grr.”- Courtney Love, Hole
“I saw the first Frightwig show and was so impressed and inspired, I made it a point to never miss another. In all its incarnations, Frightwig WAS the San Francisco music scene. Their sheer intensity horrified and inspired a whole breed of musicians. Bands like Flipper and The Dead Kennedys were threatened by their talent, and because they weren’t so into playing with boys or keyboards at the time I had no choice but to settle for playing with Faith No More.” – Roddy Bottum, Faith No More
“One of the coolest, scariest bands ever. They were grungy while Mudhoney was still in diapers.” – Donita Sparks, L7
“Frightwig are one of the originals. They were raw, real and very rocking. Definitely worth checking out.” – Mike Bordin, Faith No More
