IT’S THE HOUSEWIVES!

Before there were ‘real’ ones. Before there were’ desperate' ones, there were the originals: THE HOUSEWIVES

A quirky “girl group” with a unique blend of comedy and music, that gained popularity in the eighties and early nineties with what they called “Domestic Rock and Roll”. Dedicated to the concept of glorifying the mundane, no chore was too menial, or subject too absurd to be turned into a song.

With tunes like “Call A Repairman”, “Be My Babysitter”, “I’ve Been Defrosting All Day” and “Ironing Bored”, their music spanned many genres including Blues, Rock, Motown and New Wave. They soon began appearing regularly on National Television shows and in rock clubs and comedy venues drawing huge crowds and loyal followers. The Housewives went through a few incarnations, beginning in 1982. The version that gained the most traction consisted of Hope Juber (the creator of The Housewives), Maggie Mayall (wife of Blues legend John Mayall) and Lisa Harrison.
