A much more welcome girl band reunion than the Spice Chickens - I saw the Frank Chickens live in 1984 and I think I had their record (or maybe I just taped them off John Peel) - here's their "We Are Ninja" from that time, now on YouTube. Looking at it with older eyes, I realise they were making even more of a political statement about Japanese identity, especially female identity, than I had quite grasped at the time. They are back on tour, and will be in Brighton soon, alas when I am not.
