of popular songs instead of writing their own material and to embrace the fact that they were nothing more than a novelty when the tremolons started playing together in 1964 they were temporarily willing to adhere to the guidelines above the group consisted of charlotte on lead guitar and vocals christine on bass guitar mary gallagher on rhythm guitar and faith orem on drums this line up would stick together for close to 5 years and would later morph into the luv d ones christine s son and charlotte s nephew john sorensen was not born yet when the tremolons formed but was raised on his aunt and mother s stories of their 60s musical escapades and had this to say about their earlier band they actually sort of followed the beatles esque type look they had matching outfits and their hair in the 60s bobs that they had back then for girls they were not allowed to do what they wanted to artistically the record labels and managers they were meeting with wanted them to fit a mold and dictate the kind of music that they played they were at a crossroads did they do what they wanted to do artistically or were they supposed to listen to those guys and change themselves in order to make it in the music business they decided to go a different route and the luv d ones was the breakout from the tremolons by forming the luv d ones the girls were finally able to assert their individuality and charlotte could showcase her songwriting skills thus enabling the band to stretch their musicianship to new depths though they were more pop oriented early on and were influenced by popular genres such as surf and girl singing groups the deep emotions that lurked below the surface of their music made it more than just frivolous pop charlotte was influenced by the underrated 60s garage rock visionary sean boniwell of music machine to not be afraid to touch on the darker side of life her low alto voice fit those kind of themes well she also tuned her guitar down to a lower pitch which became her trademark and was able to wail on it just like her hero jimi hendrix which led to her being nicknamed the female jimi hendrix by her musical peers on the sundazed release truth gotta stand her musical progression with the band can be heard from playing catchy yet melancholic pop songs to dark psychedelic masterpieces which are way ahead of their time and could even be considered proto goth the aforementioned sundazed release is a collection of singles demos and live material unfortunately the luv d ones were never able to record a full length album they did record some singles for chicago s dunwich records and managed to get some radio airplay in the mid west but it was the band s initial rejection of being controlled and not wanting to act like a cookie cutter female group that led to their commercial failure sorensen overheard his mom and aunt talking about the difficulties they had with that label and this is what he recalls they pressed several singles through dunwich the label didn t know what they had when it came to the group s talent and the group went a different way char was a very headstrong bandleader she wanted things her way when it came to what direction the band would go and the problem with that was that it was the 60s and she was female record executives just weren t listening to a woman in the 60s who told them what she and her group wanted to do they frowned at that it was back when the general male attitude was that women raised children made dinner stayed at home and the man put food on the table and went to work though charlotte and the band were disappointed that they were unable to achieve the commercial success they deserved it did not cause them to break up in 1969 christine became pregnant with john so she quit and since they were unable to continue without such an important member they disbanded in the early 70s charlotte went on to record a hendrix tribute album with a former hendrix bass player named billy cox the album was called nitro function and it ended up being a huge hit in europe finally giving charlotte a taste of success unfortunately the album was mostly unknown in the states and the luv d ones remain to be as well in 2009 both charlotte and christine have passed away but their music remained an important part of both their lives until the very end sorensen feels grateful to have had a chance to grow up around these strong and talented women he says i was weaned on the music and it was funny because even when i was growing up i admired my mother and aunt and i knew from an early age from just listening to the music and without anyone else telling me that they were ahead of their time they did something that nobody else around them had heard of there was no other band that came out of the 60s that had their sound or attitude i was very proud of them and i knew they were doing something unusual chicago s first all girl band daughters of eve april 27 2010 6 57 am posted in uncategorized tagged 60s garage music all female bands carl bonafede chicago music history daughters of eve debi pomeroy the buckinghams the dirty wurds usa records comments 4 daughters of eve debi pomeroy and andrea levin parnes share their recollections of being members of chicago s first all girl band by bess korey an edited version of this story appeared in the spring 2009 issue of ugly things i first found out about this band back in the 90s when i acquired volume 1 of girls in the garage and they left an impression on me that has lasted until this day during the mid late 1960 s the rogers park edgewater neighborhoods of chicago were a hotbed of youth culture activity senn high school located on ridge road near hollywood avenue was the home base of two local bands the daughters of eve and the dirty wurds it was more than just the high school that tied these bands together a pair of siblings played an integral part in the formation of these groups as well debi and justin pomeroy shared a love and enthusiasm for music that was encouraged by their father whom happened to be a pastor he went on to be nicknamed the rock n roll preacher for being willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to help his kids make their musical dreams come true when justin started a chicago blues influenced garage band called the dirty wurds the rock n roll preacher became their manager in an era when the idea of women playing in rock bands was seen as an anomaly debi s father was still willing to nurture her musical aspirations as well the renowned chicago music institution old town school of folk music which was located by wells street and north avenue at the time ended up playing a key role in the pomeroys musical story justin and debi were both enthralled with the folk music scene which was occurring there and it inspired them to re create that scene in their own neighborhood of edgewater which was located about 20 minutes north of the school debi says i was studying at the old town school of folk music which is where i learned to play guitar and my brother and i were having hootenannies in our basement we d go down to old town school of folk music and we d beg these folk artists to come perform at our hootenannies and they would we had the stage set up and the lighting and it would be packed with people we had great music and we d have a lot of our friends playing it was just all about music back in those days and it continued on when i started in the daughters of eve andrea andee levin parnes was learning to play guitar around the same time debi was and also took inspiration from the folk scene i was really interested in folk music i was listening to joan baez bob dylan peter paul mary and i was copying all of their stuff i would put the needle on the record and listen and try to figure out what chord it was and continue back and forth and then finally i ended up knowing what i was doing and practiced so hard that i was actually getting quite good at folk music at that time debi justin and andrea were all attending senn justin stood out at school for being a rebel that was ahead of his time he was the first guy there to have long hair and it was before the hippies had made it fashionable andrea ended up meeting justin before she met debi and was able to bond with him over their love of folk it wasn t until justin had invited her over to the pomeroy house that debi was able to meet her the house was connected to their father s church which had a gymnasium inside of it and the kids were able to use it as a music practice space debi vividly remembers the first time she saw andrea she andrea came over to the house she had long red hair and she always wore black and i thought wow that s a pretty cool chick who is she i was getting ready for rehearsal with my surf band and i had to carry all of my equipment to the church gymnasium we were in the gym andrea was there so i asked who is she and was told oh that s andee debi played lead guitar in that surf band and was the only female member becoming friends with andrea gave her a chance to play music with girls too andrea debi and a friend named sue started a trio together where they all played guitar and sang this trio played together just for fun but it foreshadows the musical direction that both andrea and debi would end up going in soon after that debi was never intimidated by the fact that the world of mid 60s rock music was male dominated her passion for music drove her past the boundaries of what was feminine and what was masculine feminine was being a folkie and playing acoustic guitar she rejected this notion by playing electric guitar and then she developed an interest in playing drums and that became her instrument of choice debi s involvement in rock musicianship proves that justin wasn t the only member of the pomeroy family that was ahead of their time this was 10 years before heart and the runaways and the idea of women as rock musicians was hardly a blip on the mainstream radar but just because the mainstream was unaware of the fact that women wanted to play rock music doesn t mean that this desire didn t exist debi wasn t alone there were many other women that had developed the same interest and they went on to start bands like the luv d ones hairem she the ace of cups the feminine complex the daisy chain the shaggs and a plethora of others in the 2000 s many of these groups have finally gotten the recognition they deserve and have even had their music re released by labels like sundazed and ace records but for the decades preceding that they were mostly forgotten and the chauvinistic nature of music journalism could perhaps be blamed for their omission from the annals of rock history andrea had been following the female folkie path before debi had come into her life even after they became friends she hadn t developed much of an interest in playing rock music but this was soon to change debi s transformation from guitarist to drummer led to an important musical opportunity being presented her way this happened during 1966 when she was 15 years old debi says carl bonafede who was a famous chicago dj and the manager of the buckinghams a chicago group who went on to national renown with hits like kind of a drag and mercy mercy mercy was looking to start an all girl band to be the buckinghams sister group marsha tomal guitar and vocals and judy johnson also on guitar and vocals had already both joined the group at that point knew john a friend of mine at the time and we were jamming in the basement of her house her brother was there too and she was playing someone else s drum kit and john said hey would you like to audition for an all girl band you play really good drums and she said but i don t have a drum kit and he said that was ok that i could bring the kit in the basement to the audition and told me about the band and how they had management so we went out to marsha s house and i auditioned for carl and i guess i did everything right carl said wow we ve got to get you a set of drums so he went over to talk to my parents and said debi s a really good drummer and asked for my parents to buy me a set of drums debi pomeroy on the drums with daughters of eve this group would go on to be called the daughters of eve doe the rock n roll preacher was the one who coined this name he had mentioned that all girls were the daughters of eve and those involved agreed that it would be a good name for the group marsha judy and debi became a fixture of the group but the line up wasn t quite cemented yet andrea says debi being a drummer was recruited to be in an all girl band it was marsha judy and debi and some bass player whose name i don t even know because she apparently flaked out all of the time and never made it to rehearsals there was this one saturday that debi invited sue and i to doe s practice so we went there and they couldn t start their practice because the bass player didn t show up so carl was going nuts ranting and raving and the band was bummed out because they couldn t practice without the bass player there up until this point i had never picked up a bass but i was good musician i knew my music so i said how bout i fill in until she gets here so they gave me a bass guitar and i just started playing i don t even know how i knew how to do it play bass but i just did i guess carl was impressed because he asked if i wanted to be in the band because of her folk background andrea had some reservations about joining a rock band but it was ultimately her parents that made the decision for her carl had called them up and was able to charm them into letting their daughter join the band andrea reluctantly agreed to do it this reluctance did not stick with her in the long run and she started to enjoy being in the band carl was all business and wasted no time in getting some gigs together for the girls once andrea was in the band though the fact that they were an all girl band was enough to make them a novelty carl still wanted them to ha...
