Who comes to your mind when I say the phrase "the women of new wave"? Debbie Harry of Blondie, Annie Lennox of Eurythmics, perhaps? Those are indeed great ones. But this week on the show, I'm going to be digging a bit deeper than that. Not only are we gonna hear Debbie and Annie, but loads of their contemporaries from both the underground and the charts. It's an hour of woman-fronted new wave this week on the program. Transmission Thursday night at 10 o'clock on The Current.
