Back in 1964, four women came together at Mount Holyoke College, MA to form a band; organized by lead member, Beverly Rodgers. These women became The Moppets, a name coined originally as a joke by Beverly's father and went on to some limited success, touring colleges extensively on the East Coast, releasing a single and featuring in a number of publications before separating at some point in the late 60's. The original line up consisted of band members Phyllis Hess (organ), Beverley Rodgers (lead guitar), Alisa Damon (bass guitar) and Kathie Ross (drums); most of the women provided the essential vocals! The women were in constant demand, and toured in a 1957 Cadillac hearse!, which went under the pet name of 'Giraffe,' because, according to Ailsa "it has such a long neck." As you can see from the pictures they really loved the guy! Sometimes the women would drive hundreds of miles from one gig to the next, and were also renowned for their choice of attire!
