A Months Worth of Amazing Music
Within the next few weeks there's an absolute abundance of amazing women musicians / bands playing around the city so I thought I'd make a gig guide of the one's we're most excited about. These are just my picks, there are loads more out there this month, go and search them out! I've tried to include a variety of genres and include as many cheaper / DIY events as I can.

Discovered this BBC radio show from 10 years ago about the first women icons of punk music, worth a listen! You can listen to it here
Ace Bushy Striptease / Beauty Pageant / Elopes at Kraak
Our next Typical Girls night is on Friday 1st November at Kraak Gallery. This show will be an early finish as Kraak has a clubnight on afterwards, so we'll have to finish by 10.30.
Tickets are £5 in advance from WeGotTickets. All profits from this show are going to LGBT Youth North West.
Listen to all of Ace Bushy Striptease's latest album below as well as singles and demos by Beauty Pageant and Elopes!
ALSO, another date for your diaries, we're DJing at Remake Remodel's 3rd birthday party at the Soup Kitchen on Monday 25th November! See you there!
Carefully Planned Festival
Quick blog of our highligths from Carefully Planned this weekend! We had a swell time despite the rain and were especially pleased to see so many women on this years bill.
Here are a couple of our highlights...
Halo Halo describe themselves as "dance-sinawi-pop", since I'd never heard of sinawi music before I did some searching and ended up in a (very much recommended) Youtube rabbit hole.
Brother-sister drum-bass noise duo, absolutely incredible to watch as they both seemed to be having an amazing time (as well as kicking up an almighty racket)! When we walked in their gig at Gullivers they were "channelling the spirit of Leo Sayer".
"ONSIND is a DIY, feminist, vegan, semi-acoustic pop punk band from Pity Me, Durham." They forgot "awesome".
Other honourable mentions: Shield Patterns, Just Handshakes, This Many Boyfriends
Bands we missed but wish we'd got to see! September Girls, Bad Grammar, Big Joan
Typical Girls Night In at Fuel
Last Thursday was our first 'Night In' of female fronted folk / acoustic / soul music. Despite getting a last minute cancellation from one of the bands, the wonderful SEA stepped in and saved the day with just enough time to soundcheck!

We had an amazing time and raised loads of money for the Manchester Womens Aid! We sold out the upstairs room of Fuel so thanks a bunch to everyone who came down and sorry if you couldn't get in!
We will very likely be running some more of these nights at Fuel in the new year so keep your eyes peeled!
