Neo Boys was an American punk band from Portland, Oregon, United States, active from 1978-1983. Considered Portland's first all-female punk band,[1] Neo Boys are noted for their political and feminist lyrics.[1][2] Hannah Lew, of Grass Widow, wrote: "They created a world I have taken refuge in during times when I felt the effects of narrow attitudes about gender and women's voices in music."[2]

History


Before Neo Boys was formed, Kim Kincaid, K.T. Kincaid and Jennifer LoBianco were part of Formica and the Bitches.[3] The band only played a few shows before breaking up.[4]

Neo Boys band members included Kim Kincaid (vocals), K.T. Kincaid (bass), Jennifer LoBianco (guitar) and Pat Baum (drums).[5] After Jennifer LoBianco left the Neoboys, Carol Steinel played guitar with the band from 1979 to 1980, followed by Meg Hentges who joined as a guitarist in 1980. Jennifer went on to form the band, Randy and the Randies before leaving for Los Angeles in 1980.[6][7]

They regularly shared bills with The Wipers, opened for Nico, and played their first show with Television. Most of their early shows were performed in basements, colleges, and art galleries.[7]

Keeping with the punk template at the time, the band started as four teens making loud sounds and writing self-reflective lyrics. But this quartet was one of the first all-female groups of its kind in Portland, distinct when compared to the city's male-dominated music scene.[7]

Neo Boys were featured in Northwest Passage: The Birth of Portland's DIY Culture.[8]
