The Petticoats
No Class first heard
the one person 'band' The Petticoats' in 1980 doing a post punk, 3
track John Peel session ( Dream / Paranoia / Life-No )
on which Stef Petticoat is the only musician, playing drums,
bass, guitar and singing as well, but it's the Amy & the Angels track
(I Hate Being In Love) from the Making Waves compilation
that made a lifelong impression.
Stef stuff has now resurfaced on the ubiquitous myspace site, she's been
covered by Times New Viking, and now, a No Class feature-ette

What's your favourite punk rock song?
There are so many! I cannot decide. I think Patti Smith's Free Money was the first who blew my mind. Then
The Sex Pistols, Ramones, Fall, Au Pairs, ATV, etc.
Can you tell me about any interest from major record labels?
Nothing received.
What did your family think of your records?
They were happy for me but at the same time worried
over my financial future. Rightly so!
Is the world ready for a Petticoats revival?
Some people tell me yes, but I don't believe in a revival.
I am surprised though, about the amount of fans I have,
especially in the USA.
Who do you listen to, musically?
A wide variety of music, old punk stuff - I love my old John Peel
tapes, old soul, Amy Winehouse, indie stuff like Times New Viking,
The Gossip, newer Women's music like Le Tigre, etc., swing.
Are any of your old records still available?
The Petticoats single is. I am currently selling
them to various record shops and individual people.
A few Scaling Triangles are also around.
Will you gig again?
I sing in a soul choir and have gigs with them. I hope to do the occasional gig with my last band 69 Lies.
Do you remember the Androids of Mu? Are you still in touch with anyone from the band?
I do remember them. Their singer Corrina had the idea of the Making Waves compilation.
I have lost contact with them.
The track list for the Making Waves compilation is below.

1 Belles - You told me a lie
