Viv Albertine defaced a punk exhibition for erasing women's involvement in the movement.

Albertine was taking part in an event celebrating punk at the British Library on Friday night [July 15] when she made the changes to a panel in the venues exhibit, Punk 1967-78.

"Groups such as Sex Pistols, The Clash and Buzzcocks stimulated a nationwide wave of grassroots creativity, sparking a vital cultural legacy that endures to the present day," read the panel.

Albertine crossed out the names of the bands mentioned and wrote the names of her former band, The Slits, X-Ray Spex and Siouxsie & The Banshees in their place. "(What about the women!! Viv Albertine)," she added.

Further down on the panel, she crossed out all further mentions of the Sex Pistols and wrote in The Slits instead.

what a dumbass bitch. it has nothing to do with gender. those bands she crossed out were actually more influential than those girl bands she wrote in. yeah the bands she wrote in were good but no one outside of the super-hipsters even knows those. however, everyone knows the clash and the sex pistols. fucking new liberals are always looking for fights where there are none. they have nothing left to fight for so they argue about bullshit.

yeah you're so right. what was I thinking. The Slits are way more influential than the Clash. I'm sure you could've attacked my arguments instead of resorting to personal insults cause you're so right. Fuck you're so righteous arguing for such a noble cause...

Thanks for proving me right. Much love to you my brother.

I've been listening to Cut a lot recently. Totally unique and awesome album, one of the best punk records for sure. The drumming is outstanding, and every note just works. The contrast between the raw Peel Sessions and Cut is stark.

They definitely deserve props, but so do a host of other bands, both male and female (The Fall, Raincoats, Wire, This Heat, etc). Don't really see what gender has to do w/ this... the exhibition text named the 3 most well-known English punk bands. They were all male. Big deal.
