How come when a band is consisting of only boys/men it's a band, but when it's made up of only girls/women it's a girl-band?

Male modeling. Male prostitution. Just saying.

Surely you've heard of boy bands before, right?

True, but the term "boy band" is used for bands made up of only very young members -- while "girl band" is often used for women of any age. You can compare Wikipedia on "Boy Band" versus Girl Band, say.
