# Lung Leg (band)

Lung Leg are a Scottish pop-punk/indie band forming in 1994 and disbanding in 1999. Recently, they have returned to the music scene and have been performing in various indie venues. They were influenced by post-punk, C86, riot grrrl and the Fire Engines.

## History

Lung Leg formed in late 1993 in Glasgow, Scotland, with a lineup of Jane McKeown ("Jane Eqypt") on bass and vocals, Annie Spandex and Maureen Quinn ("Mo Mo") on guitar and vocals, and Amanda Doorbar ("Jade Green") on drums. The quartet released The Negative Delinquent Autopsy (1994) and Shagg the Tiger (1995) EPs on the Piao! label; both were named "Single of the Week" by Melody Maker. The two EPs were later compiled together as the 1997 10" EP Hello Sir on Kill Rock Stars.
Amanda Doorbar left in 1996 and was replaced by Todd Parmenter. This second lineup recorded their debut album, Maid to Minx, released in 1997 on the Vesuvius label. The lyrics for the title track were written by Danny Saunders ( Correcto).
Jane McKeown was also the drummer for Vesuvius labelmates Dick Johnson. When Maureen Quinn quit Lung Leg in 1997, they recruited her replacement, Philippa ("Photo Smith") Smith, from Dick Johnson. This final lineup re-recorded the album for Southern Records and embarked on their sole tour of the US in 1998 with the Make-Up, and recorded two final singles, "Krayola" in 1998 and "Maid to Minx" (a new recording of the title track from the debut album) in 1999 backed with Juanita.
Lung Leg split after a final farewell gig in May 1999; the remixed and partially rerecorded version of their debut album was released posthumously that August.
Past Nights from Glasgow reissued Maid to Minx in 2022 with additional tracks. The band reformed with current line up to play live and are currently writing tracks for a second album.
Lung Leg were featured in "Since Yesterday - the untold story of Scotlands girl bands , a documentary directed and filmed by Carla Easton and Blair Young.
