It really shouldn't be a surprise in this day and age to see three sassy, glamorous women on their way to greatness in the music industry, but disappointingly it is. Ten years since Cerys Matthews fronted Catatonia in a nice dress, and Louise Wener and Justine Frischmann were regularly bothering the charts, Abi from the Zutons and Sarah from Belle and Sebastian are two of the very few British women you can see on TOTP in an indie band. The gig circuit is crowded with countless bands with women in them - Duke Spirit, Sons and Daughters and Tilly and the Wall to name but a few - but somehow these groups never seem to make the leap up.
