about

Look for a deluxe red vinyl LP this summer on Berlin's NoPlan Records with 22 original songs.
Who were the Barbie Army? Barbie Army was a late-80s all-female punk band in Chicago. Their performances were a cross between a pyjama party and a case of raging menstrual cramps.
Primitive enthusiasm drenched their sound of fuzz-guitars, bass and drums-- at a time when synthesizers dominated the airwaves. They sang three-minute power-chord songs of heartache, alcohol and other concerns of the modern woman.
In late1980s, they played Chicago, Wisconsin and Indiana and also two short tours of the South. They set Barbie dolls' heads aflame and enjoined lawmakers to abolish the Tampon Tax.
They were featured in Maximum Rock-n-Roll magazine at a time when few women were playing electric punk rock. When Courtney Love and the Veruca Salt girls still wore training bras, the Barbies were pathbreakers in Chicago.

lyrics

Don't Wait (Paul Anderson, Girlfriend, Please Music Publishing/addl lyrics by Barbie Army)
If you happen into Standard Liquors, won't you buy me a bottle of wine?
That dream we shared is fading in the street light.
And if you happen to think of me, won't you please do it carefully?
You can't throw something away that you never had, but you had me.
And if I thought that I misunderstood you, I would be the first to quit
when you find something that you really like, well then you just trash it. (You trash, trash, trash it!)
And all I can depend on lately is the hope that you'll be coming back here
When you find out who really loves you.
But if you keep running round in circles I know that you will reappear.
I just hope that I still love you when you do.
Don't Wait, Honey don't wait, no, no, no.
Don't Wait, Honey don't wait.
And if you happen by the Five-Star Drugstore, won't you buy me something good?
That dream we shared has gone a little Hollywood.
but while you were running around with Avis, I was thinking of trading in my Hertz.
It's the kind of game show where you tell 'em all you know and then they break your heart.
You been hanging round some pretty places with that girl from Highland Park.
You know who I mean, the girl from Spain with the big diamonds (She's got big, big diamonds!)
And all I can depend on lately is the hope that you'll be coming back here
When you find out who really loves you.
But if you keep running round in circles I know that you will reappear.
I just hope that I still love you when you do.
Don't Wait, Honey don't wait, no, no, no.
Don't Wait, Honey don't wait.
