All-girl pop group from the 1970-1972 animated TV show of the same name and the 1972-1974 revamped version, Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.

They first appeared in Archie comic books, getting their own series starting in December 1969, with Josie and the Pussycats #45, running for 62 issues (#45 - #106) until October 1982. Josie was created by Archie Comics artist Dan DeCarlo and had her own comic before the band: She's Josie #1-#16 (Feb. 1963-Oct. 1965); this changed to just Josie #17-#44 (Dec. 1965 - Oct. 1969).

Josie sang and played guitar, Melody played drums, and Valerie played tambourine and sang. You know, they got a remarkably full sound from just drums, guitar and tambourine. Wimpy Alexander Cabot III was their manager.

A live action film version of the cartoon came out in 2001.
