Fanny Walked The Earth

Product Information

The group was founded by sisters June and Jean Millington (on guitar and bass respectively), who had been playing music together since they moved from the Philippines to California in the early 1960s. After playing through several variations of the band, they attracted the interest of producer Richard Perry who signed them to Reprise Records in 1969 as Fanny. The band recorded four albums together before June quit the group, leading to the original line-up splitting. Following a final album, Fanny disbanded in 1975. The Millington sisters have continued to play music together since the split, and with a former drummer, Brie Howard-Darling, formed the spin-off group Fanny Walked the Earth in 2018.

A retrospective review of the group's career in Rebeat stressed that Fanny were simply a good band, irrespective of gender. [21] June has been praised for her guitar skills, and was described by Guitar Player as the hottest female guitar player in the music industry. [50] During her time in Fanny, she initially favored the Gibson ES-355 and Fender Twin Reverb amp, before acquiring a Gibson Les Paul Junior guitar and Traynor amplifiers. She used the Les Paul primarily for slide guitar playing. Jean's main instrument in Fanny was a 1963 Fender Precision Bass, which is still in her possession. [47] This album is not designed to steamroll itself into your soul or blow your mind; instead it pulls you in with a blend of infectious harmonies, sharp and catchy hooks, set on a foundation of positive vibes and sublime influence.

The band was then renamed Fanny, not with a sexual connotation but to denote a female spirit. [7] The initial lineup consisted of June on guitar, Jean on bass, de Buhr on drums, Barclay on keyboards, and Brandt on lead vocals and percussion. Perry dismissed Brandt because he wanted the group to be a self-contained four-piece band like the Beatles. [10] The Millingtons and Barclay all assumed lead vocal duties on alternating songs, while de Buhr sang lead occasionally on later albums. [11]

Howard-Darling’s return came to a heartbreaking end when Fanny’s manager, Roy Silver, and producer Richard Perry decided the band could be a male version of The Beatles. Because Howard-Darling was the extra person in the band, she was cut. Howard-Darling says, “I was just lost.” Schelde, Per (1994).

June Millington says, “That part was kind of ignored, and that made it even worse. The terrible thing about racism is it can be so subtle. I knew I was being judged every second, so all I did was play as hard and as good as I could. I just knew I was representing something new.” Sisters June and Jean Millington moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California, in 1961. They began to play music together on ukuleles, which helped them gain friends. In high school they formed an all-female band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt left to get married and was later replaced by Alice de Buhr. [3]

In her teen years, her parents brought the family to the US. “My dad didn’t like the Filipino culture,” she said. “He used to say ’Filipinos are so duplicitous.’ Did I really need to hear that?”
