Wow. Only one person took me up on my quiz. But here, as promised, are the answers:

Sarah Shannon was in Velocity Girl; Karen Peris is in The Innocence Mission; Harriet Wheeler fronts The Sundays; Dominique Durand sings for Ivy; Kristin Hersh leads Throwing Muses (also some solo releases); Tanya Donnelly formed Belly (started w/ her half-sister Kristin in Throwing Muses, joined The Breeders for its first album, now solo); Kim Deal was in The Pixies (also The Breeders & The Amps); Juliana Hatfield was in The Blake Babies before her (more successful) solo career; Karolina Komstedt is the voice of Club 8; and Kori Gardner is part of The Mates of State duo.
