Fest mania: It's a Girlfrenzy

Move over, Lilith. (I mean, you haven't been around for years, but still.) There's a new girl in town. A new girl-rock festival, that is. Going by the name of Girlfrenzy, the fem fest will feature Fiona Apple (pictured), Sheryl Crow, Antigone Rising, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, and Avril Lavigne. One out of six ain't bad, right? Anybody? (Crickets chirp.)
Girlfrenzy goes down October 27 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, California. How many Verizon Wireless Amphitheatres are there across America, anyway?

You know...I feel like female musicians would get a lot more respect if they didn't join together as complete crap lineups and say "hey, we're women who play instruments for real." Dammit, Fiona.

Honestly, though - I get really irritated when female musicians are viewed as a novelty, and all-female lineups like this don't help anything. It separates women from men even further, and if no attention were paid to gender, I think more women would feel comfortable attempting to play traditionally male styles of music because they wouldn't be looked at as "traditionally male."This mini-lecture brought to you by a liberal arts college education. Fucking hell.
