Sister Strange- Omni, Oakland Ca 12/9/89 Transfer from Low gen VHS tape Hard Rock Glam

Is it me, or does it seem like all of these glam posts from Laura Martinez’ collection always hit on the weekends? I guess it’s because it’s party time! Wooo. Clearly my exhaustion is getting to me over here.
There doesn’t seem to be much about this Sister Strange band online. There is a swedish band and an all-female band out of Los Angeles by that name, but no bay area band. If you know anything about them, you know what to do

Sister Strange- Demo Late 1980s San Francisco Hard Rock/Glam/Hair Metal Transfer from low gen tape

This one is from Laura Martinez’ collection and it is yet another bay area hard rock/hair metal demo that seems to be nowhere online. As you can see from the image, this is not an original demo but the tape hiss was minimal.
One aside- why are almost all 80s glam demo blasted with high end? Was that the sound at the time? I sure don’t remember that, but I was off on the thrash metal/punk side of things after 85 anyway.
