LE MULTIVERS PATRIARCAL #1: LE RED BRIDGE FEST

Le punk rock c'est pas un boys club voyons...mais on va se faire un solide party entre gars!

Hey salut!

Hé oui c'est encore nous.

Vous vous souvenez peut être de nous pour avoir créé la saga "Music 4 Cancer 2021" (Nos salutations les plus sincères à toute l'équipe, on a bien hâte de vous voir pour votre 10ième édition!)

Sinon vous nous connaissez pour le travail de promotion quotidien qu'on fait pour ramener les femmes et les artistes non-binaires à l'avant de la scène punk, hardcore et alternative.

C'est notre mission et comme on l'a déjà clairement statué auparavant, on ne dérogera pas d'un pouce la dessus.

Donc franchement...vous croyez qu'on allait rien dire?

En fait c'est un peu vrai ce coup là. Car vous savez déjà ce qu'on a à dire. Et sincèrement, on pense que l'image parle d'elle même.

Encore là on tient à vous rassurer, on est pas en train de partir en guerre contre l'équipe du Red Bridge Fest. On entend bien faire ce petit exercice d'affiche "avant/après avoir retiré tous les artistes masculins", avec tous les festivals qui vont croiser notre radar cette année. Spécialement ceux qui se disent "punk" ou "alternatif".

Parce que oui, c'est un beau lineup. Y'a des bon bands la dessus. N'importe quels fans de punk rock des belles années d'Epitaph et Fat Wreck vont adorer ce lineup, et cela inclut clairement des femmes.

Mais est-ce qu'il y'en aura sur scène des femmes? Zéro.

On vous cachera pas notre désappointement.

D'ailleurs nous sommes à travailler sur un outil de référence et un service qui pourra accompagner tous les promoteurs qui désir un coup de pouce pour diversifier leur programmations.

Parce que le punk rock est supposé être INCLUSIF et représenter la belle DIVERSITÉ de notre scène.

On vous souhaite quand même un bon festival. Nous n'y seront pas évidemment cette année, mais on espère pouvoir y aller l'année prochaine!

Amour et rage,

Les Insoumises

Interview w/ Jennifer "JJ" Leigh ( THE DEVOTCHKAS)

In 1996, three girls from New-York got together to form The Devotchkas . A band that would go on to become one of the most talked about all-girl oï punk of the scene at the time. A time that was long before smartphones and social media, when bands only had web pages on Geocities and Angelfire, which is where we first heard about them. Because in 2001, after Jennifer Leigh, (better known has JJ ) took vocal duties, the band released an iconic album, that was not only our introduction to them, but to how much ass a women can kick when they play badass music. The next year they went on hiatus, and we never heard about them. The whole industry evolved, but for us they remained legendary in their own way. Fast foward 20 years later, the same line-up that released that iconic album, decided it was time to get back in action. This weekend, the gang is set to play at the C.Y. Fest in Los Angeles, not once, but twice, and even though we can't attend, we couldn't be more exited at the i...

THE PHOTO PASS with MIHAELA PETRESCU

When did you first pick up a camera and what motivated you to start photography? I picked up a camera at around 4 years old. My mom did some photography when i was young, so I grew up with a camera in my hands. Did you study or are you self taught? I studied in cinema/video/communications at Dawson College, then I went to Concordia University in the same field. I never actually studied photography but I had a lot of photo classes. Do you remember the first show you ever shot and how it went? My uncle played in bands since I was really young. The first show I shot was my uncle's first show with his new band. I was around 13 years old. The stress was real! I think I had one of those point and shoot cameras. I also remember my first show for a media; it was Septicflesh at Café Campus. How did you know you wanted to do concert photography and what do you love the most about it? The first concert I ever saw was of Cher . I was maybe 8 or 9 years old and I vividly remember watching the ...
