Don’t you think it’s weird how when a girl band is an all girl band they have to explain why there’s only girls in the band. Like ‘Oh well we didn’t really mean for it to become an all girl band, we didn’t mean for that to happen it just did” it’s like the beatles never had to explain that, nor the stones or the smiths, replacements, nirvana. Why does there need to be an explanation as to why a bunch of girlfriends were hanging out and started playing music together. It’s like you wouldn’t question if i had a sleepover with my girlfriends, we were painting our nails eating cookie dough and watching team america, so what if that turned into a conversation about music and a starting a band. I swear all fern thinks about is drums, she’s always online perving over cymbals and drum kits. I’m obsessed with playing bass, music is all I think about at the moment. I write guitar licks by singing stuff that sounds like christmas, I’ve written guitar parts and drum parts I’ve never been prouder of and I’ve never been happier with the input from the people that I have chosen to work with, fern emma and carmen. Music is my saviour and hiding place, it’s home and love and pain and everything. it helps and it makes me sing and cry and dance and happy and safe. Don’t make me fucking explain the fact I’m a girl, do my body parts make a difference to the fact that I love music and wanna make it and play it with other girls? And if so, why such a negative difference? Or one that I have to defend?
I was getting a pedicure the other day, something i rarely do, my feet are pretty horrible, but when i do do it, it makes me happy and feel better and think that i should always get pedicures and that it’ll be my new thing, but it never does become my new thing. Anyway I was reading about jennifer lawrence in Rolling Stone magazine because i heart her really badly and i loved loved loved the hunger games and then i moved onto an article about frats and i have found my new enemies. Fucking hell, delta kappa epsilon, the same frat that prides itself on producing george bush, were cracked down on because they were caught on youtube chanting around their college “NO MEANS YES AND YES MEANS ANAL” and then these dudes give out tips to other frats on how to successfully date rape. ARHGHGHG. These rich white men that come from the “best colleges in america” end up running our country, they basically become the most powerful people in the world and influence the way that not only the country is run but the entire western world. holy crap, how is this possible?! how can we stop this? i’m overwhelmed. I actually cried with anger during my pedicure, the nice vietnamese lady that was doing it was very concerned about me but i just felt it so hard. i cannot believe these fucking stupid arseholes have the power and gain the respect that they do. i don’t even know how to sum up in words how it makes me feel but it’s really bad. i just don’t know how people can be so awful and uneducated and violent and offensive. below is a link to an article on the story. People should have more fucking respect for each other and also a brain. Go fuck yourselves Delta Kappa Epsilon. You stupid fucking moronic waste of spaces.

Oh Kate, I love you so much. I already loved your music, then I found you’re a feminist, and then I found out you love Jennifer Lawrence. Can we be friends, please? ♥ ♥ ♥ <3 <3 <3
Well said Kate!! you are an absolute inspiration, fuck those idiots, let’s just hope that there are more good people in the world than the twats that get noticed for doing wrong. Keep doing what you’e doing I absolutely love your blogs.
Heck yes! Finally a blog by Kate Nash!!! I agree with you, anyone who says crap like that does not deserve to run America (just between you and me I don’t think those idiots have a chance in hell at becoming president anyway.)
I FUCKING LOVE YOU. You are my saviour and hiding place, you’re home and love and pain and everything. You help and you make me sing and cry and dance and happy and safe. KN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
I showed my classmate once a drawing I made of Fern and there was a guy who had this useless comment like: Is that a girl? A girl on the drums? Girls can’t drum! They are girls! They have to stand in the kitchen and bring us beer! Girls making music is like boys clean the house and work and doing the household.. They just aren’t made for that! I was like: This is fucking bullshit! I can name so many bands where all the people are girls and their music is fucking beautiful! Look at Bikini Kill, The Bangles, The Runaways, Supremes, Ronettes, L7, Cub, Huggy Bear, Go Go’s, Go Sees, Indigo Rose, Mayfair Haze, Kate Nash… They are all fucking awesome! What happened with his world?!
You’re right about all the others, The Stones, Beatles, Smiths etc. never had to explain why they were an all girl band and I don’t see why you should either :oP
I think I’ll avoid the reading upon the link, I can figure most of it out.
You have only just realised about the places where these people are congealed and moulded into an approximate human form?
Bush and chums have a hell of a lot to answer for, as do the people that assisted in their spawning. I don’t believe the film ‘Skulls’ is a work of pure fantasy.
That’s the problem when ego meets money… Then has any brains, consideration, care and conscience subtracted from their personal equation.
Have you ever heard of Bohemian Grove Lady Kate?
It was founded and initially created by and for true artists as a retreat… Didn’t take long for the rich bully boys to move in and take over though.
It would seem that they have twisted the very essence and energies of that place to something far darker and more suited to their selfish desires… Generally.
They’re still just a bunch of idiotic dicks though 😉
Hope things are well with you, cool girly band members & all loved ones too.
Electronic *hugs* for being upset.
xXx
o:)
(P.S. Sorry for the ramble… I often go on quite a bit too much)
“People should have more fucking respect for each other and also a brain” HAAHAH
Firstly, can I just say that I love you and your music? I know this sounds like common fan ramble but I really mean that! As in, I love and admire your personality and passion and lyrics and attitude! You are so just so real! We need more real people. And, I completely concur with your frat-boy hating! They are menaces! At my university, they run around on scooters pretenting they are in motorcycle gangs, driving like arseholes, to borrow your term, and just annoying the crap out of people! Also, I am actually surprised people still make you explain why you are in an all girl band. I thought music was pretty universal now and accepted as such. I guess not. Looks like the societies of the world have a lot of growing up to do and things to learn.

I am a girl and I play guitar. It is a huge passion of mine but people are often suprised that I do, because of my gender. It is concidered that the two unrelated things are mutally exclusive. Also I get told that the music I listen to is a ‘boys music taste’ because that makes sense!? . The frat thing is too much horrible piss take for me to comment on, but it’s disgusting. End of rant, great blog post !
Very true. Let’s kill the fuckers?
When I think about it, I realize — They seem to have taken the whole “Do as thou wilt” thing completely out of context. If they weren’t so preoccupied with their own greed and power hungry ways, they would have possibly been able to read between the lines and see the whole picture.
But that’s the problem with giving relative simpletons access to esoteric knowledge; They don’t take the time to try & see it all, try to consider a few different points of view.
Where collective thought is concerned, time isn’t always linear. Sometimes the right answers come before the correct questions; An odd idea to some maybe.
Righteous post Kate 🙂 x
This is so true about asking “why all girls?” shit. I was reading an interview with a producer here in Brazil and he was talking about make a reality show to make a girl-band and the girl doesn’t really need to necessary to sing. Like, all shitty – the pussycat dolls style… And he said that because girls can’t play. And I was wondering why make money is the most important than make a real band? Why people don’t spread the good music? Why girls can’t play? of course we do can fucking play.
I never really trusted that fucking producer anyways.
xo Kate.
Keep inspiring us.
I never noticed the all-girl band thing before. That is an interesting point. I have known several musicians of both sexes and there does seem to be a whole “You’re a chick, why are you doing this?” thing out there.
As for fraternities, even in the small mid-western US state university I graduated from (try saying that five times fast), frat guys were essentially tools. As I explained to a coworked at the university newspaper when he asked why I did not like fraternities, if they were not so ridiculously obnoxious and prone to moronic, if not criminal, behaviour, thier parents would not likely have to spend extra money every semester just so they can have friends. One fraternity found itself on probation with the university my senior year for throwing things at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Allies float in the homecoming parade and making suggestive comments at the local high school cheerleaders. I mean what the hell? How stupid can you be? And the idiot frat guy who I worked with at the newspaper, proceeded to show up drunk, not hung over mind you but acutally drunk, to cover the homecoming football game that afternoon.
Sorry for the long ranting post. Completely agree with you on all points, though I have never had a pedicure, and am eagerly awaiting the next album. Toodles.
SOMEBODY had to say it! i agree!
Argh, yet again women get treated like …
Sometimes I’m just so tired of being a girl. I mean, I like it, but it’s just because of the attention you sometimes get. And then I mean the wrong attention. For example; I love wearing skirts and dresses and I wear them because I like it, not because of guys. But why don’t they get that? Why do they think they can treat me like I am some sort of lust object when I dress nicely? I mean, come on, that’s not fair. And if I react negative then you get things like; ‘But you look so damn hot today.’ So what? Even if I do look good that day, does that give you the right to give me names and just suppose we’ll go somewhere in the bushes to have sex? Don’t think so.
I think boys will never understand how it is to be a girl. Because, if you only look at commercials, adverts,… Women always need to look good. And on TV or in magazines they usually do. Or videoclips (won’t even talk about that)… So, I would really like to see how men would react if they saw half-naked men in adverts with perfect bodies and ridiculous handsome faces (and of course a huge sock in their pants). And videoclips with those same boys, lying in the bed, waiting for the girl, because that’s the only thing they would be used for.
But until that day comes, I’m afraid they’ll never get it. And I can’t help it, but it keeps in my mind and it really upsets me a lot.
And of course they’re not all the same, but I just think they should at least try to understand. In general people should respect eachother a lot more and try to walk in someone elses shoes before you start to offend.
Anyway I could go on for days writing about this huge (because it gets way underestimated) problem but I should probably just stop here.
I have read so many articles or reviews on the topic of the blogger lovers however
this post is truly a nice post, keep it up.
Right now it appears like Drupal is the top blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Many thanks, However I am having
issues with your RSS. I don’t understand why I cannot subscribe to it. Is there anybody having identical RSS problems? Anyone who knows the answer can you kindly respond? Thanks!!
