POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Our biggest ever @thisistmrw show deserved a big old grid post 🦋

My boss Matt has been tirelessly booking bands in Birmingham for 20 years, and about 10 years ago he booked this band called Fontaines D.C. Fast forward ten years and a complete world domination, Fontaines are selling out arenas (and don’t need our help to promote lol) but even so, have continuously kept us on as promoter partners throughout the years. It’s not something they or their team needed to do, but by god does it make a difference for us independent promoters, particularly in these ever challenging times.

A big moment for us little grassroots - thank you @fontainesband and @metropolismusic + all of Fontaines team for graciously allowing us to continue on this journey with you!! 🫶

Breaking my Instagram silence (I’m not good at social media !) because I can’t quite wrap my head around this one and how lucky I am to get to do what I do for a living ❓

I wrote my dissertation on Bikini Kill and punk rock feminism + countless essays surrounding non-men cultivating the punk movement, and I’ll never forget how empowered I felt reading the original Riot Grrrl zines for the first time and finally allowing myself to be angry instead of sad. To be given the opportunity to help bring Bikini Kill to Birmingham for the first time in over 30 years is, frankly, a dream come true. Incredibly grateful to @thisistmrw and @birdonthewireevents for the trust.

This international women’s day I celebrate two icons of mine, @mskathleenhanna and @kimletgordon 🌷

I’m wearing a Kim Gordon shirt design from Kathleen Hanna’s tshirt business @tees4togo, where the purchase of each shirt sends a girl in Togo, Africa to school for a year. It’s an incredible mission and business to support and there’s loads of designs to chose from, so if you’re going to do anything to celebrate IWD, consider buying a tee from @tees4togo!

It makes me v happy to say that my zine POWER PLAY is HERE:) centred around the abuse of power present in today’s male-dominated music industry, it’s yours for £1.72 (the price of production and postage)! If you’re interested in purchasing, head to the @powrrrplay instagram page and click the link in the bio 🧚🏼‍♀️

Thank you to every beautiful human that submitted a written entry, donated a piece of their artwork or shared something of themselves to make this zine possible - it’s an immensely important issue that needs to be consistently and properly addressed in order for there to ever be lasting change. We are all in this together, always.

I also want to say a massive thank you to legendary photographer Pat Graham @instapatgraham, who allowed me to use his original photographs of Bikini Kill, L7 and Riot Grrrl from the 90s in this zine - they’re priceless and I can’t thank him enough.

Over the past couple months I’ve felt extremely powerless. As a woman trying to work my way around the music industry, reading what feels like daily stories of abuse, assault and coercion that non-men in music experience makes me feel physically sick (and I’m sure I’m not alone). To try and help this feeling, and in the midst of trying to do fucking anything to combat it, I ended up creating a zine titled Power Play. It’s a desperate collection of my thoughts, anger, and frustration towards the sexist power dynamic present in the music industry, loudly written and (poorly) illustrated.

It’s been a form of therapy to me, and I want to share that: I would love for other non-men in music to take part. If you’re interested, whether you‘re angry, sad, fed up or just want to fucking scream - I want to hear it. Anything is valid, from one sentence to an entire page, I just want it to be loud and I want people to know. I want it to take up space.

Any entries will be completely anonymous (unless requested otherwise) and the end product will form the first issue of Power Play. I’m not entirely sure when it will be finished, but as soon as it is copies of it will be just the price of production and shipping (so a little over £1 most likely!) to anyone who wants one.
