Yesterday I was finally able to get to Irvine to see the Grrrl Germs exhibit and I highly recommend it for everyone! I started in the “scene” in 1992 so it was nostalgic for me, but it’s great for all of the younger people to see and learn about the roots of the movement, read zines, and listen to music from around the world! I discovered a band from Nepal that I really want to check out and a few others as well.

It’s at the Great Park Gallery in Irvine (about a mile from the Spectrum/ the 5) and it’s FREE!! It took me about an hour / hour and a half and I mostly sat there reading.

my band Cat Crash is having our next NYC show on 2/6 at Trans-Pecos and you're invited! It is a show to celebrate both Cecil (bass+vocals) and Arun's (guitar+bg vox) birthdays, which are both in February! Arun is turning 21!

both our families are first-generation immigrants and we feel the need to fight the current administration and ICE by donating the proceeds from this show to National Immigrant Justice Center. NIJC defends the rights of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.

we each chose some of our favorite local bands, including Don't Go Outside!, indie emo punk from CT, Rat Sauce, NJ riot grrrl, and Film & Gender, a two-piece bass+drum garage punk act inspired by hip hop from MA.

hope you can make it, and if you can't, tell a friend who's closer to NYC!!

I really enjoy bands like eyehategod and crowbar, are there any other sludgy riot grrl bands and also some grindcore adjacent riot grrl bands?

Creeping Embers are SO happy to be back on stage! We sold almost 100 advance tickets for this event which is crazy! We debuted our new banner which I spent several days working on (yes I did really burn it and yes does very much smell like smoke) and played a super fun show to so many cool people!

I’m also super excited to tell you all that we’re in the studio working on a few things that will be revealed in good time 👀

These photos were taken by our lovely friend imnphotography (on Instagram) who absolutely deserves your support!

Our music is on most platforms other than Spotify, but if you want to support us Bandcamp is the best place. We play genre fusion queercore horror punk with riot grrrl influence :)

hi! I work on a new musical called lost grrrl found. I’ve posted about it a few times in here. we’re doing the next show at stone circle theatre in nyc on Oct 24 and bringing the project to LA for our first west coast show on January 21! with a dj set from Allison Wolfe!

LGF is a new musical about a zinemaker and the riot grrrl band she follows on tour. it has 22 original songs and we actually just released a song from the soundtrack called “Time To Grow Up”!

come see it if you’re around, we’d love to have some fellow riot grrrls there <3 our ig is @lostgrrrlfound and here’s a link to some of this stuff <3

It all started with Le Tigre, deceptacon. What I liked about it was the voice, there feels like a sort of anger. The lyrics were somewhat sexually charged.

Others I really like:

Hell, Sleater-Kinny

Pretend we're dead, L7

Speed Queen, Thunderpussy

Do you wanna touch me, Joan Jett

Bright yellow gun, Throwing Muses

Maggot, Slutever

Rebel Girl, Bikini kill

Smother me, Slutever

Father of lies, The Velveteers

No importa, She devils

Hate the weekend, Tacocat

I knew them from the British band Huggy Bear.

Hi guys I’m doing a college research project for a class I’m taking on Riot Grrrls and we are looking to talk to women who were Riot Grrrls in the movements earlier stages. We just want to do a possible zoom or quick meet up to ask some questions. You can remain anonymous!

As of right now the people who have commented and reached out are more than enough! But please, by any means, feel free to post your experiences! I’d love to hear about it!

on 10/22 we will be hosting a documentary screening to watch Grrrl Love and Revolution: Riot Grrrl NYC. this event is $5 with no one turned away for lack of funds! it will be in brooklyn at 352 Troutman St.

Hi guys, I'm putting together an independent zine/art piece inspired by the recent situation at Cornell University.

I'm interested in what everyone has to say in their own words.

Viva la revolución, don't forget the president is a rapist.

There was a post on here earlier that was maybe a TicTok (?) that was removed. It had a recording in the background with a slam that I’m guessing could be called “I Am Jane Doe”. Does anyone know the author/speaker of that original audio? Want to give credit where credit is due.

I listen to punk and do DIY (sewing, patching, making my own stuff). But I feel stuck at the surface, because I've got the music, but not the context, history, or a real sense of the scene. I read all sorts of information forums, searched for something on the Internet, but everyone seemed to have their own truth on this matter.

Not looking for a "teacher" or asking what punk is. Looking for someone who's been in it for years and is down to just talk: DIY projects, the ideas behind it all (❗DIY ethics, anti-fascism, feminism, queer politics, zines, squats), how it works from the inside. I mostly listen to Le Tigre, Dazey and the Scouts, Pinkshift, Hole, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Fugazi, Descendents, Bad Religion and so on.

If this resonates then hit me up. Not asking for anything more. Sorry if this is off topic 😓

my band is Cat Crash and we're playing this show :) this is our first time on the west coast! i am so glad to see our friends here like Bad Static and i'm really excited to play with legends like Babe Haven and Cheap Perfume! we're playing on the Saturday!
