The Runaways, which formed in late 1975 by drummer Sandy West and rhythm guitarist Joan Jett, were the first proper all-girl rock n’ band. The band toured the U.S. and played numerous sold out shows. Their second album, Queens of Noise was released in 1977 and the band began a world tour. In the summer of that year, the group arrived in Japan for a string of sold out shows. At the time only ABBA, Kiss and Led Zeppelin were selling more records than the girls in the land of the rising sun. Sandy West hailed by fans and critics alike to be one of the most groundbreaking drummers in rock and roll history.
