History
When they first formed in 1982, Frightwig received a certain amount of attention for being female, including catcalls that made them feel it necessary to defend their "right" to be on stage with the men. On "A Man's Gotta Do, What A Man's Gotta Do", Frightwig invited men onto the stage to strip as "a sexist turnaround."
In San Francisco, Frightwig played the Valencia Tool & Die, The Fillmore, Mabuhay Gardens, the On Broadway, and The Farm.
Frightwig toured the United States several times, British Columbia many times, and Europe in the fall of 1985, opening for D.O.A., and in 1994 for a Swiss tour.
Frightwig also toured with Flipper, Funkyard, the Butthole Surfers, Snakefinger, GBH, Redd Kross and No Means No, and played with Dead Kennedys, Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch, L7, SWA and Bikini Kill.
