The Über Rock Singles Club – February’s Femmes Fatales (Part Two)

Well, it’s Valentines weekend and we could think of no better occasion to share our love and appreciation of the many highly talented, individual and distinct female talents who bring light into the darkest recesses of the otherwise (sadly) male-dominated rock ‘n’ roll Überverse with the second in this special two-part feature which focuses on just a very small part of the massive contribution our femmes fatales make to the music that we all love…
