The Feminine Complex

The band formed while the girls were attending Maplewood High School (Tennessee) in Nashville.

[1] Napier and Williams decided to form an all-female band in the fall of 1966, eventually asking Dalton and Griffith to join.

[2] According to Napier, Everybody was just throwing out stuff...And somebody threw out a name, and I don't remember which one of the girls, I think it was Mindy, said, 'No, we need something feminine'--and I just added 'Complex' to it.

[2] Two singles released from the album, "I've Been Workin' on You" and "Hide & Seek", were Top 40 hits in Nashville; a third, "I Won't Run", also charted in Birmingham.

And it sounded like it too: A couple of songs brimmed with feedback and psyched-out guitar solos, while others were punched up with a Memphis-style horn section.
