Girlschool is a British rock band formed in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene in the 1970s and is frequently associated with contemporaries Motörhead. They are the longest-running all-female rock band, still active after almost 40 years. Originally formed in 1975 from a school band called Painted Lady, Girlschool enjoyed strong media exposure and commercial success in the UK in the early 1980s with three albums of “punk-tinged metal” and a few singles. During their career, Girlschool traveled the world, playing in many rock and metal festivals and co-headlining with numerous important hard rock and heavy metal bands. They maintain a worldwide cult following and are an inspiration for many female rock musicians. Despite a few changes in the lineup, original members Kim McAuliffe, Denise Dufort and long time member Jackie Chambers are still in the band to this day
