The Pleasure Seekers

The Pleasure Seekers  was a 1960s-era, all-female garage rock band from Detroit, Michigan.  The band morphed into Cradle, changing direction musically.  They are known due in large part to the later prominence of bandmember Suzi Quatro.  (More from Wikipedia)

 

June Millington and Alice de Buhr left Fanny after the fourth album; they were replaced by guitarist Patti Quatro (who was also a bandmember in the Pleasure Seekers) and Brie Brandt, who had drummed in their earlier band the Svelts.  They came up with a final album in this line-up, Rock and Roll Survivors.

In passing, I should note that the Runaways are overtly a hard rock band; they were later identified with the punk rock scene that was unfolding at the same time, but each of the all-female bands that I mentioned last month – Goldie and the Gingerbreads, the Pleasure Seekers, Isis, and Fanny – also has a real edge to them.
