“I understand why some women/girls/ladies don't want to be women-identified 'cuz it totally complicates your band identity and no one seems to pay much attention to the music or what you're doing. We have chosen to be girl-identified (although Billy isn't a girl!), because we want to encourage other women/girls to play music. When I was growing up, I found it discouraging to have all these women in bands not wanting to address the issue of gender...we're interested in what women are doing.” WantPlaySeemsGirlFoundPayAttentionGrowing UpIssuesGrowingIdentityBandGenderChosenAddressesDiscouragingCuz Author:Tobi Vail
