Mission statements and mantras are handy tools. They help define, refine and shape our concepts and goals and the “why” of what we are doing. And when a band creates a “manifesto” you know it’s serious and maybe even a bit dangerous!
Portland’s All-Female Rock Revue
The Vulva Underground! Not only a brilliant play on words, but it serves notice that there is strong intent behind it. It’s basically a collective of women working in music with the goal to strengthen “Portland’s well of female talent” as they describe it.
VU hosts all-female jams and the much-beloved tribute nights. There have been Simon and Garfunkel and Women in Country nights. Next up?
