Well, one of them is male, at least. It's mentioned in Quidditch 
Through the Ages. I can't find my copy right now, but if I recall 
correctly, the mention would be in the section with the profiles of 
British Quidditch teams. One of the players (Caitlin something-or-
other) is mentioned as having a brother who is guitarist for the 
popular wizarding band the Weird Sisters.

I always assumed the name and the appearance of the band was a 
takeoff on the "hair metal" sort of bands that were popular during 
the 1980s.

reminded slightly of Japanese "visual rock"...
