  Riot (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After a promising start and support slots with AC/DC and Molly Hatchet, the band were unable to maintain momentum, and after periods of hiatus and reformation (with Fiet back on bass) and lack of success were on the verge of breaking up for good by 1979.
The band was rescued by Elektra who bought the tapes off Capitol, and the band once again hit the road, supporting and headlining to promote it.
The revived band were from then on dogged by continual personnel and record company changes, but Reale continued to steer the band through into the turn of the century, releasing albums roughly every couple of years.

Riot Grrrl was, in part, a response to male dominated punk/hardcore scenes.

Riot Grrrl meetings were similar to the feminist consciousness-raising groups of the 70's.

 Quiet Riot
Heavy metal band Quiet Riot had their ‘five minutes’ of fame in 1983 with a remake of a Slade song, Cum On Feel The Noize, and a US number 1 album, METAL HEALTH- the first metal album to reach that position in the US charts—but were unable to maintain that momentum with subsequent releases.
Quiet Riot regrouped around DuBrow, Sarzo, guitarist Carlos Cavazo and drummer Frankie Banali and signed to the Pasha label for the breakthrough album and single, their musical and visual style fashioned after the harder rocking glam acts of the '70s, particularly Slade.
DuBrow was subsequently ejected from the band and a self-titled 1988 album, with new vocalist Paul Shortino (ex- Rough Cutt), barely made the charts.

They are not the usual kind of band to play the Astoria: sweaty favourite venue of most medium sized metal and punk bands that come through London, but they packed the place out for one of the best gigs I've ever seen there.
The band's driving force is Kathleen Hanna, who is perhaps better known as one of the founders of Riot Grrl, and for fronting the seminal 90s band Bikini Kill.
The band only seemed to get into the set four songs in, which may have been part of the problem.

 Le Tigre pushes girl power rock forward - PittsburghLIVE.com
First, there was Kathleen Hanna's band Bikini Kill and "Riot Grrl" -- the buzzword created to describe powerful female voices in punk rock in the mid-'90s, which was said to have inspired a generation of girls to pick up guitars.
It's no surprise that she's held on to her mission of female empowerment, but it's a little surprising that she seems to be at the vanguard of yet another music revolution.
Her current band, Le Tigre -- together with Johanna Fateman and video artist Sadie Benning -- combines rock 'n' roll and dance music in ways that would have scandalized the self-conscious ghettos of punk rock and dance music just a few short years ago.
