Women In Rock
Women in rock
There’s a time for all kinds of things.
Having toured with so many successful women – Courtney Love, Deborah Harry, Brody Dalle, Juliette Lewis – I've been thinking that there seems to be a severe lack of acknowledgement and support for the creative women of our time.
If you have questions you'd like Juju to ask in her interviews, you can let her know.

Quote reblogged from Sean Adams with 43 notes
It’s tough for anyone to be in the music industry, but I think what has happened in the last decade is that a lot of women have forgotten what a struggle it was for previous generations to even get a foot in the door in the music scene and so have forgotten how tenuous their holding is. As a result I haven’t seen much effort into trying to redefine the way women have historically been viewed as solely visual treats and playthings. Make no mistake, there is still an incredible struggle for women to be treated as equal around the world and in the music industry. I’ve always felt a responsibility to conduct myself a certain way. Before I broke into the music scene there weren’t that many empowered women getting played on the radio. There are still very few women who have managed to navigate a career of any length or are considered of any worth and that bothers me.

Death by Crimpers - Obsessive (by videosyncratic)
Oxford’s first all female rock legends Death By Crimpers. I am sure you will understand why they are simply legendary and awesome. The Jericho Tavern still exists as a music venue with bands playing this same stage every night. We even played a small set there last night!
