“I remember one tour with two male-fronted bands, and they had a fight over who could use the bathroom first. Then they just ended up having a beef with each other for the entire rest of the tour.” FirstsTwoUseRememberFightingBandMalesBathroomBeef Author:Taylor Momsen
“If I see a chick playing guitar, I'm drawn to that band immediately. I want to know everything, even if it's completely electronic. But you have to really get my attention if you're male.

“There are plenty of bands who never get in the charts and it doesn't mean that they're not any good. Actually, a lot of the top ten is filled with stuff that just sounds the same. I could guess what's in there now - probably a bit of GaGa, Beyonce and some U.S. R&B males.” MeanStuffBitsSoundBandTenFilledMalesPlentyGagaBeyonce Author:Ellie Goulding
“I listen to all kinds of bands. I like rock music, like, male rock bands. I'm more into that instead of female singers. I like Nirvana, Green Day, System Of A Down.

“I was in a band in the '90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had.” PeopleKindWholeBandMalesMainstreamBikinisDocumentation Author:Kathleen Hanna
“I was brought up on choirs and brass bands. They formed the music of my childhood. When I heard the Treorchy Male Choir at the Royal Variety Performance it brought back such happy memories.

“I hate the attitude of, 'oh we already have a Lydia Lunch, so we do we need a Bikini Kill.'

“'Princess' is a good word, as is 'girlish', 'pixie-like' and all these other things. I personally find it a bit boring, it's all been done before. The amount of times you read reviews of bands and it's an all-girl four-piece, and they talk about what the women are wearing... you'll never read a review that's like: "Male singer Thom Yorke, who was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans..." You would never read that about a man.” MenDoneGirlBitsWhitePiecesFourAmountBandMalesBoringSingersShirtsReviewsPrincessJeansT ShirtGood WordsPixies Author:Lauren Mayberry
