  Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains was a 1981 film shot in Canada about three teenage girls, including Diane Lane and Laura Dern, who start a punk band.
The film had its most recent television appearance one night in the late 90's on VH1.
In many ways, The Stains heavily influenced the riot grrl movement of the 1990s and bands like Bikini Kill.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains
A fascinating oddity of the genre occasionally glimpsed on obscure cable venues is Lou Adler’s Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982).
The Stains get their first taste of success tagging along with a punk band, The Looters, and a busload of fading rockers — the appropriately named Metal Corpses and a British band composed of ex-Sex Pistols Paul Cook and Steve Jones and Clash bassist Paul Simonon.
In a fabulously weird ending that looks like it was tacked on to impress Paramount and perhaps save the film, the group is seen in resurrection, performing apparently years later looking bourgeois-sexy on a cynical MTV-like video.
