PROFILE: After the Go-Go’s demonstrated that there’s a definite market for all-“girl” rock ’n’ roll bands, Joanne, Gail, Roxy and Doreen left their private school to pick up some instruments, creating a hook-laden debut pop LP that reveals such universal truths as “Boys Can Cry,!’ and probably purging a few more saints in the process.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
