The Lou's were one of the first punk bands in France, and the first all-women rock band in any genre in France. Dutch Sascha aka Syama aka Saskia de Jong on drums, French Raphaelle Devins on rhythm guitar, Tollim Toto on bass and Pamela Popo, vocals and lead guitar, found each other in spring 1977. They were the only band playing on both days of the 1977 Mont de Marsan punk festival.
