The Delphines ( 1994 - 2013 )

 

 The Delphines arose from the remains of the all-female Bluebonnets, a blues outfit that counted among its members Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's, Dominique Davalos, Pinky Villandry, and Sherri McGhee. When vocalist Villandry dropped out over disagreements concerning which career track the band should pursue, the remaining members tried to forge on. At one point they hired another vocalist, Shannon Moore, and later performed simply as a three-woman band. When the Bluebonnets permanently shut down in 1994, Valentine again became part of the Go-Go's, while Davalos headed to England. By the end of the year, however, the two women were in Los Angeles and pulling together the band that would become The Delphines, with the addition of Paul Crowder on drums. The group gave its first public performance early the following year in London.( http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-delphines-mn0000122658 )
