WELL DONE on all this work! A couple more I could mention: SPINNERS, 3-piece Turkish all girl band, and Hungarian bands with female singers: MODELLS, AURORA CIRCALO, and THE SHITHEADS. Oh, and BLUTTAT (Germany). Also Croatia' ANTI -TODOR and the origial line up of Brazil's INOCENTES.
There are almost certainly more, I'll keep thinking...SENTIMIENTO INCONTROLABLE (Argentina)...Cheers!
P.S. NOG WATT was Dutch, I think. Another new one is Darlington's Rebels of the Flesh.
