5 Feb–2 Apr 2015 THE LIST 71
Ex Hex (Timony’s solo project, coming to Glasgow this issue) and Sleater-Kinney have their roots in the 90s riot grrrl movement, but while the term has become enduring shorthand for DIY feminist punk, it’s problematic, too: not least because the teenagers who launched these bands are now women, while acts like Sacred Paws and Trash Kit are doing their own things, their own way. ‘To me, riot grrrl was inspiring but also frustrating,’ says Aggs. ‘As a teenager, I always thought, “Why am I just sat here reading about this? I should be doing it!” Riot grrrl encouraged me to make music. But with Sacred Paws it’s not supposed to be political, we’re a pop band and our gender shouldn’t limit us in any way, or dei ne what we do.’ ‘So the fact that people are still talking about [riot grrrl] when I’m a fully grown person playing gigs and releasing records makes me feel like we didn’t change anything.’ The revolution is far from done. Still, as Sleater-Kinney holler in ‘Bury Our Friends’, ‘We’re wild and we’re weary but we won’t give in’.
Ex Hex play Broadcast, Glasgow, Fri 13 Feb; Sleater-Kinney play ABC, Glasgow, Wed 25 Mar; Sacred Paws’ EP is out Mon 16 Mar (Rock Action), they play Glasgow on Thu 26 Mar, and as part of Counterl ows, Thu 2–Sun 5 Apr, venues TBC.
