Rubella Ballet - Unemployed

I think this one came courtesy of Andy Roberts and his punk women tape in 2003. I was intrigued by the name, and by the fact that their debut cassette was called Ballet Bag, which had a quaintly childlike, innocent feel to it for me.

Rubella Ballet were adopted and taken under the wing of Crass and the Poison Girls in 1979. They would later be associated with both Positive Punk and the early goth scene and, more aptly, with the early eighties anarcho punk scene. They continued into the 1990s before a hiatus and return in the 2000's.

Singer Zillah Minx is the director of the 1997 punk women documentary She's A Punk Rocker.
