GAL GROUP WANTS TO BE NEXT `JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS'

SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash) -- A female rock group in San Diego hopes to become the next Josie And The Pussycats. The two-woman band is called The Tigerbeats and, like the animated Pussycats, they perform bubblegum music while wearing leopard leotards and cat's ear headbands. Guitarist Betty Noir freely admits she started the Tigerbeats just to meet guys. As she puts it: "We were getting too old to be groupies so we wanted some of our own." The Tigerbeats latest gimmick to get guys is a wading pool filled with fruit cocktail which they invite their male fans to wrestle in while listing to the band.
