The Musician's Social Club's Blog Talk Radio Show

This week's special guest is the Quatro Sisters. Find out about the history of this band out of the Detroit area. BEHIND THE CURTAIN.....CRADLE BIO CRADLE WAS THE EARLY 1970’S FEMALE ROCK GROUP, EVOLVING OUT OF THE PLEASURE SEEKERS, (WHO HAD A REPUTATION IN THE 60’S AS PERHAPS THE BEST AND EARLIEST ALL-FEMALE GARAGE ROCK BAND. ) STARTING ON A DARE, THE PLEASURE SEEKERS HAD SINGLES OUT BY THE TIME THEY WERE IN THEIR MID TEENS, AND WERE THE YOUNGEST FEMALE ROCK MUSICIANS TO BE SIGNED TO A NATIONAL LABEL. WITH THE MULTI-TALENTED SISTERS PATTI, SUZI, NANCY, AND ARLENE QUATRO, THESE TEENAGERS DARED TO GO WHERE WOMEN HAD NOT GONE BEFORE, AGAINST ALL ODDS, STOMPING THEIR WAY INTO A MALE DOMINATED HEAVY ROCK SCENE. IN 1969, MORPHING INTO CRADLE, THE SISTERS CONTINUED IN A MUCH HARDER DIRECTION, CONTRIBUTING RELEVANT LYRICS, CREATIVE HARMONIES, AND HEAVY ORIGINAL MUSIC WITH ATTITUDE. CRADLE ROCKED THE HOUSE WITH THE LEGENDS OF THE DAY, PAVING THE WAY FOR FEMALE MUSICIANS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS HARD ROCKERS. The lineup included: Suzi Quatro (bass, vocals, and keys), Nancy Quatro (vocals, percussion, violin, bass, and keys), Patti Quatro (vocals and guitars), and Nancy Rogers (drums, vocals, and tympani). Later additions to group were Leigh and Lynne Serridge (drums and bass, both on vocals).
