London-based Gina Birch began her storied career in music in 1977 when she formed the
feminist punk band The Raincoats with fellow Hornsey School of Art student, Ana da Silva.
Gina and Ana witnessed an early performance by The Slits and although neither of them
knew how to play any instruments, they knew they had to start a band. Just months after
they picked up their instruments they were on stage doing their thing around London and
the UK in the fledgling and groundbreaking punk rock scene. The Raincoats quickly
developed a large and loyal groups of fans and supporters, among them Red Krayola, Swell
Maps and Geoff Travis and his new record label, Rough Trade. The Raincoats went on to
record 3 albums for Rough Trade that are frequently found on lists of the most important
records of the punk rock era and are still name checked as influences by artists today.
