Why I should be the Classic Rock 101 Rock Girl:
Unlike a lot of women, I play rock and roll onstage as well as listen to it and go to concerts. I've been struggling in the trenches of indie rock for 6 years and I have given everything for the chance to play rock and roll with my band. I know there's almost no chance of glory and fame, but that doesn't matter to me. It feels (and sounds) so amazing to be in the middle of a swirling hurricane of distorted guitars and throbbing kick drum. It's my drug. My experience as a female in the male dominated field of rock has equipped me with a thick skin and an ability to be 'one of the guys', dishing out sarcasm and insults with the best of 'em. As far as I can tell, hanging out with Bro Jake every morning is very similar to being trapped in a van with stinky rock man-boys day after day. This I have done many times!
