As previously reported, UK rockers GIRLSCHOOL are confirmed for the First Annual Power Box Festival which is scheduled for August 31st-September 3rd (Labour Day Weekend) at the White Horse Amphitheatre, Darrington Music Park Washington in Darrington, WA. The all-female festival will also feature DORO, VIXEN, KITTIE, CRUCIFIED BARBARA, McQUEEN, JADED and others.
Girlschool will perform on September 2nd. The band have also confirmed a live date on the 3rd at El Corazon in Seattle, WA.
Tomorrow (August 20th), the Rock N Roll Kabaret at the Soho Revue Bar in London, England will be holding a tribute to late GIRLSCHOOL guitarist Kelly Johnson. The event dubbed Kelly Johnson In Sound & Vision will feature a short four-song set featuring members of the band (note: this is not the current band).
Kelly Johnson passed away on Sunday the 15th of July after fighting a six-year battle with cancer of the spine. Johnson left Girlschool in 1984 but returned to the ranks on 1993. She left the band in 2000 following the recordings for Girlschool's Not That Innocent: 21st Anniversary, released in 2001.
