San Francisco's The Avengers are fronted by Penelope Houston, a seminal member of the Bay Area punk scene and a prolific solo artist. These punk-rock pioneers, who opened the Sex Pistols' farewell show at Winterland Ballroom in 1978, made musical history with their fearless, fervent brand of punk. The Avengers' previously out-of-print self-titled 1983 release (known as "The Pink Album") was reissued in 2012 as a two-CD set complete with outtakes, live recordings and liner notes from music journalist Greil Marcus.
