Parisian Redheads

Parisian Redheads – An all-girls dance band. Organized by Indianapolis show business agent Charlie Green in the 1920s, the Parisian Redheads was a well-known all-girls dance band that included around twelve females, who were mainly classically trained. After playing at summer resorts and various stops on the Vaudeville Circuit, they landed a booking at the Times Square Palace in New York Theatre in 1928 and 1929. For the second appearance, they were the featured act over the Marx Brothers. The group had two recoding sessions and released one album on Brunswick. When the Babe Eagan Hollywood Redheads threatened a lawsuit over the group’s name, the Indiana group became the Bricktops. In the 1940s, many members of the Bricktops joined the Phil Spitalny all-girl orchestra.
