where's the by RORY

In recent Internet Land events, Pitchfork posted a semi-controversial interview with everyone’s favorite Icelandic artist Bjork in light of her new record Vulnicura. The article sparked an important discussion on popular social media platforms about female musicians, their place in the music industry and the constant adversities they face.

From facing constant doubt to being deprived credit of their own work, it doesn’t take a musical

the credit? RORY

genius to realize that misogyny is real in the music industry. The prominent and absurd attitude towards women in music is pretty toxic; it diminishes artist integrity, perpetuates a system of entitlement for male musicians and potentially discourages young girls from pursuing musical careers.

After reading several posts in reply to the article (and being angered by some), I reached out to Lindsey Sprague of the Greensboro band Daddy Issues to see how these problems affect our own local scene. Sprague stressed the importance of women’s visibility in music and spoke of her own experience in dealing with the “core of doubt” most women are up against in any music scene, “…I think you seriously have to prove to everyone (the guy at the guitar store, the sound person, the booking agent, etc.) that

"...you have to that for that should seriously."

you are for real, and that you can and should be taken seriously.”

Daddy Issues may embrace the term “girl-band,” but that certainly shouldn’t change how people perceive their talent or validity.

From musical goddess Bjork to one of our favorite local bands, it’s obvious that these issues are very real. The Triangle has a lot of influence on North Carolina music, and I think we could make a difference if our community continues to make space for women in music. Let’s keep sexism out of what Sprague calls, “the most open and welcoming music scene ever.” 3

"...you seriously have to prove to everyone... that you are for real, and that you can and should be taken seriously."

MATTRESS FORT

Squeeze your way up the the sagging back porch, past the flannel-clad bodies and PBRs, through the cloudy sliding-glass door, and into the living room. The walls are lined with mattresses, and music blares from amps and a single broken PA balanced on a precarious side table. Where are you? You’re at Mattress Fort, one of Raleigh’s most substantial house show venues.

Prior to Mattress Fort, house shows in Raleigh were sporadic and dominated by metal and hardcore artists. Catie Yerkes, at the time only a twenty-year-old college student, decided to create a space for people to enjoy great music in an intimate setting that was by donation and available for all ages. In doing so, not only did she manage to bring incredible bands to the area like Radiator Hospital, Krill and Modern Baseball, but she was also responsible for creating an inclusive community of music enthusiasts and musicians in the Triangle. These shows were attracting people that cared about the

music and creating an environment and a network for these people to interact. It encouraged the DIY mentality, and was the birthplace of many local favorites, including the bands

Celebrity Jeopardy, GHOSTT BLLONDE and Naked Naps. The house went out with a bang this past July with Cuddle Fest, a two-night farewell show featuring 11 Mattress Fort alumnus bands. Catie and her roommates have since moved out, but the DIY legacy of Mattress Fort lives on in the community it cultivated. So what was Mattress Fort? Ask a punk.
