Oh yeah, Boris and Electrelane. All consisting of solely female members. Most of you guys probably know Boris or have heard of them, but Electrelane's a little commodity with in itself. Sort of really early Post-Rock with a heavy Krautrock influence, specifically Neu! Really great stuff.

Boris, the Japanese band? If you're talking about this one, there's only one female member, the guitarist.

By the way, are we still discussing female composers in progressive rock/music or any female musician playing in a progressive music/rock band? Confused

Speaking of all female prog bands, the Japanese psych/prog band "Angel in Heavy Syrup" should get a mention here for having female composers.

Good Call.   

agreed!

Also, along with Dagmar Krause, there's also Lindsay Cooper who released two great RIO albums.

Along with OOIOO Ex-Girl, Ni-Hao!, and a sh*tload of other Japanese girl bands who released awesome weird-o music. The answer is always in Japan!!!

Cool Oh my bad. She's always been the poster girl of the band, I totally forgot the rest of the band were dudes. Great band though.

Would Grimes count? I mean, she's not what we would commonly consider as Prog, certianly not "Prog Rock", but I think she's certainly progressive in her field. All those electronic artists are all being innovative in their own unique ways. I'm probabaly going to get a lot of flak for this one. Tongue

There's plenty of art pop girls, of course. I consider Bjork to be somewhat progressive.

Oh yeah, totally. Bjork's one of the most creative artists in the past 30 years. And on the side, I was also going to give a shout to Chelsea Wolfe. Not really "Prog Rock" my common standards, but her music is certainly experimental in nature. Pretty gothic actually.

Hmm, if we're bringing up solo performers as well, might as well throw in Susanne Sundfør.
