Just Added! EASTON The four women who make up rising San Francisco-based folk band Blame Sally have some experience with improbable complexities and contradictions. Almost everything about the history of the group is contrary to conventional wisdom.
For one thing, they put their individual careers aside to start the group when they were in their late 30s and 40s the age at which bands traditionally are supposed to break up and begin solo careers.
For another, this is obviously an all-woman band "girl groups" usually being the province of youthful upstarts, not mature singer-songwriters.
Splitting the frontwoman status among each of the four members goes against the agreed-upon maxim that every group needs a single focal point.
And didn't they get the memo that women, in particular women in show biz, are supposed to be packing it in at this point, not making introductions? Actually, they did get that memo and promptly tossed it into the circular file.
