women in rock......

[kanonfodr]

Overall, it seems that traditionally-minded dudes still somewhat dominate in rock music, and most (if not all) apparently think that a rocker woman is an actual oxymoron. Good looking or not. Again, that's messed up.

I have yet to see a rocker girl perform live, to tell you the truth (I just haven't been out there enough to find them; I tend to find too many female singers but not instrumentalists). But when I do, I want to be blown away. By both her playing and her being a female rockin'! That has to be awesome to behold. And if, on top of that, she's good lookin'... well...

Just recently saw Band of Skulls (Emma Richardson (bass, vocals)) and Wild Flag (all girls no bass though) a couple weeks ago. Some awesome girls plays some great music right now. Carrie Brownstein blew me away. Both bands are worth seeing if you get the chance (IMHO).

Man, my wife and I were going to see Wild Flag in Boston - but I had a gig that night!

Jennifer Batten would have to be on that list. I got to hang out with her for a few hours back in the '80's and she was for real. That woman could definitely scare a guitar into submission. I wish I could play one like that.

A couple of years later she got the lead slot on a couple of Michael Jackson world tours and said many reporters would have to ask twice if she was a woman. They were more comfortable thinking she was a guy who looked like a woman than an actual woman. Whenever she mentioned that in an interview she would then say "Thank you Poison, for confusing people the world over."
