Venus and the Razorblades

Venus and the Razorblades were a short-lived punk rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed and managed by Kim Fowley after his initial separation with The Runaways in 1976. They are believed to be one of the first mixed-gender American punk bands. Rock impresario Kim Fowley first severed ties with the Runaways in September 1976, and then reconciled with the band in November, returning to the studio to record their second album Queens of Noise. It was during this period of inactivity that Fowley assembled Venus and the Razorblades.
