Some are Oregonians, so they were generally raised by second wave hippy feminist moms and were very free with their bopping. But I agree: they look so fetchingly sincere and playful today, don't they? I bet they didn't even make gas money on any of these gigs, but they changed lives. Now, it's time for the fourth Feminist Wave to give us another Riot GRRRL wave to give womens bodies back to women.
I'm pretty sure Bikini Kill and Bratmobile would say: "Don't feel sorry you weren't alive back then to hear us play. Just start your own band, you could do it way better then us." Make the music you want to hear, you can do it!
Really cool stuff :). Spose it's easy to forget how groundbreaking this must have been back then... I'd love to play such a setting some day. Audience right in your face.
Wow it’s a little sad... the sf underground used to be so vibrant before high rents came! Well we can’t live in the past. Just listen to her list all those cool venues bet the audience had a lot of waitresses too
bratmobile rocks their one of the most original bands ever. Kleenex- Bratmobile- finally punk are the most original bands EVER!!! Why are girls bands always more original than guy bands
The Raincoats, X-Ray Spex, Patti Smith, Heavens to Betsy, L7, Babes in Toyland, Huggy Bear... So many artists that were showing you didn't need to be a hetero with a penis in order to conquer
Riot Grrrl! Such a cool scene and so important. It was important to anyone not hetero and male. I love Kathleen H, Tobi and Allyson talk about that now. Kathleen has especially made it clear that she wanted anyone that used to be afraid to go to the front, should feel safe, including a brown, shy, homosexual boy
As an 1980's teenage Punk i felt that by 1990 the old Punk scene was over. The only thing that kept Punk Rock going in the 1990's was the RIOT GRRRL scene. They are the true saviours not the stupid orange county "jock punk" scene. Mecca Normal, Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, 7 Year Bitch, Team Dresch, Slant 6, Sleater-Kinney, etc....
Important to know they were playing with The Gits! The best Seattle band that was almost international. Mia Zapata... a true talent and original, raped and murdered in 92 while walking home. Listen to The Gits. Bratmobile loved them
It was the 90's. Cat Power, Sleater-Kinney, etc, lots of the girl fronted bands back then didn't have a bassist, though usually they had at least two guitars with one playing the bass parts.
sitting on my chair i jump higher than most of those girrls and people watching this show, but only because my gf is asleep rn. But fuck, machoanarchist scene is in control of almost every squot in my country. Its a devastating feeling.
I had a friend in high school who was nuts for this, and any girl band from the 'Riot Girl' movement. So I thought I'd check it out .I'm not trying to be an asshole here, and I'm not gonna pick apart the bands skills or style, but if this EXACT SAME SOUND was being produced by boys.... Well suficit to say that you would never have heard of them. This is a blatant double standard. But hey, good for them for exploiting it.Especially With the hundreds of Independent Rock bands around N. America trying their hardest to make it somewhere, and these three dont even live in the same city.
That's the point. When young boys show an interest in playing a musical instrument, most parents encourage them right away. When young men enter a music store to buy their first guitar, they aren't laughed at and intimidated to the point where they question themselves 100%. It's very hard for anyone to get "good" at music without the opportunities to do so. THAT'S the real double standard. AND YET, playing in a band is fun. The riot grrl movement was about reclaiming the RIGHT to be on a stage and pour your heart out and express yourself without necessarily having the musical chops of a brother or neighbor boy. Being "bad" is part of the subversion. It's punk rock.
I've been a guitarist in some form of 'Punk' or other for about 20 years. My gay mom was a classical guitarist and teacher...so I became a Punk Rocker. I am a decent player, I have definitely invested more time into developing my own style than I did getting better at someone else's. The # 1 advice I always give my students, and myself, and my friends , and now you, is: DONT EVER REVEL IN BEING BAD !! Always try your best, always put your best foot forward, and ALWAYS be in the mindframe that what you are doing is the coolest! Trust me, your brain will implode if you try to go around thinking that your cool cuz you suck [ which I fully understand !] , but you still put your best foot forward. IT. WONT. WORK. Instead, REFUSE to be compared !!! I know that this is easier said than done, but you are YOU , and you do your shit [ painting, acting drawing, writing etc....] YOUR WAY !! It could be said that Cristian Slater is a Jack Nicholson knock off, or that the 'Pistols were just doing a tribute to the Ramones, or that Howard Dovoto was a hack for taking 'Shot by both sides' and using it as the hit song for Magazine when he left the Buzzcocks. But all those people refused to be part of a comparison equation and held their ground by saying, " this is ME, and this is how IIII do it !" I hope that this helps you along your path in life. Se@N.
That early 1990s "girls that just rolled out of bed and threw on something dirty from the hamper" look.
the 90s, when nobody knew what was going on and you actually had to speak to people to get your information.
+Pavel Radev Do a lot of girls listen to riot grrrl?
Blacksmith Channel im sure they did and some probably still do. IDK. Im a guy and I like it.
Pavel Radev Do boys like it too?
Blacksmith Channel Probably, I mean there was a guy in the audience here telling her to "Go faster" referring to the music so yeah, guys like it too.
I'm a girl and I only recently discovered these bands having been like 4 when they were big. But I've started blasting them in my car ever since!
I updated the video with date. Wow, I was 20 years old when I filmed this!
11 years ago... i was 6
Serena D'alessandro 11 years ago i was four
14 years ago i was two
I was 15 hail Satan
Was there - amazing to see this - great audio - considering. THanks so much for any and all footage. Great work!!!
The way her and Kathleen dance is so simular. I live for these women 💗

@@Wout.vlmnck thank you ♡
@@Wout.vlmnck and that's what i'm trying to do :). Thanks for the inspiring comment
Video quality's amazing! It's like it's only been recorded last summer with an Instagram filter on.
Really cool stuff :). Spose it's easy to forget how groundbreaking this must have been back then...

@murdersherote13 I also filmed the Gits that night. Search my videos. Cheers!
Woah, Alyson in an Overlord shirt
I have a videotape of this show that I got from eBay ten years ago. Now I don't have to dig that out and can just watch this.
Man.. those were the days.. now all the kids can really play..
a Sony hi-8... I wanna say tr-81? that may be totally wrong though. It broke years ago.
So rad.
Damn the guitar is so overpowering rly wish I could hear her more!
I love how everyone has their full undivided attention on the stage
So sick
I love how the guitarist just cuts off the singer giving tour dates 😂

the gits!!!!!!!!! jesus. this rules!
They don't have a bassist?
Bethany-Violet Pandora a lot of small bands are like that. Some have a guitar and drums, or a bass and drums
It was the 90's. Cat Power, Sleater-Kinney, etc, lots of the girl fronted bands back then didn't have a bassist, though usually they had at least two guitars with one playing the bass parts.
when they reformed and released their 2000 and 2002 albums, they added a bassist
@diekreuzenwurst I thought it was Kathi!

@@bangtwang3835 so you telling this bands sucks or what
But the boys in those punk bands didn't sing and talk about feminist issues and didn't play for girls.
for a bunch of girls i guess they are ok. i mean you can't really expect much.
A
for a bunch of girls? what a dumbass, this band can probably play better than u
why cause they’re girls?
feminism lmfao
