60s SanFran girl band Ace of Cups is reuniting to do an album, which they never got to do in their heyday.

***As the Ace of Cups, Denise Kaufman, Mary Gannon, Mary Ellen Simpson, and Diane Vitalich were a pioneering all-female rock band. Fifty years ago, they were right at the center of San Francisco's exploding music scene.

They shared the stage with popular acts like Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. But they never got a chance to make their own album.

"Well first of all we didn't get a record deal at that time and that was sort of the next step for us," Denise Kaufman told CBS News correspondent John Blackstone. "If you didn't record …. you never got a fan base farther away than your local situation, and so then you didn't really get to tour. So all of those things that would have been part of the next step never really happened for us."***

I seem to recall having seen "billing" posters, for shows put on @ Fillmore, Avalon, (maybe) Winterland, etc., issued in the mid- to late-Sixties, that included Ace Of Cups as one of the booked acts.

^^^ this recollection is @ best sketchy... To confirm I'd have to pull out my own collection for review and/or check other (viewable) examples @ the interwebs.
