r/riotgrrrl

I am making a lesbian visual novel all about being punk, self discovery, and advocating for yourself and others! It follows the main girl of a punk girl band discovering her feelings for another member as well as accepting the change of her band becoming more mainstream while on a tour.

I want to hire real artist (in my local Atlanta area preferred) to have music in my game! This project would require 8-12 songs. I am okay with just instrumental music, buying rights to music, and open to the idea of commissioning full original songs for my game.

My biggest question is how much do bands charge for this? If you are in a band and would be willing to discuss this please let me know as I want absolutely NO AI and to pay my artist appropriately.

I am still deciding my official budget before my kickstarter launches, but am hoping to land around the 5,000-10,000 range! Any and all advice and input is appreciated, thank you!!

this song is called I Need to Radically Change My Life in the Next 24 Hours Or I'm Ending It All. in 2019 i had a manic episode where i changed my name, my gender, my hair, and asked out my same-gender best friend of four years all at the same time. i finally wrote about the experience in song form

Im looking for a cute way to identify a riot grrrl , other than patches what else could be our thing? A hand movement?
To my friends i do the peace ✌️ sign and shake it as i yell “scissor sisters!”

we're Cat Crash and we're traveling the country to knock yr socks off!

Cat Crash's Not Dead Tour (Leg 1):

8/19 - AS220, Providence, Rhode Island

8/20 - Dubois-Robeson People's Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

8/21 - Green Beacon Gallery, Greensburg, Pennsylvania

8/22 - The Potato Sack, Kalamazoo, Michigan

8/23 - Subterranean, Chicago, Illinois

8/24 - PILLLAR, Minneapolis, Minnesota

8/29 - Riot Grrrl's Not Dead Fest, The Stack, Bridgeport, Connecticut

I booked this entire tour myself! We do not have a booking manager or a label or any management at all other than me, the frontperson/singer/bassist. This entire tour is going to be self-funded, if anyone would like to support us but can't make it out to the show, our Bandcamp is catcrash.bandcamp.com

On another note, we are looking for a place to crash on the night of 8/21 after our Greensburg show and on 8/24 after our Minneapolis show! There are 5 of us. Please reach out if you can accommodate (I will ask you to verify your identity first, I know Reddit is not a safe place to ask strangers to sleep over).

We're an all-trans riot grrrl band in a country that is becoming increasingly more transphobic and conservative every day, any and all support is highly appreciated even if it's just a nice comment <3 have a lovely day and I hope to see you at a show!

Long-time fan of the music, but I just came out as FTM. Can I still be a Riot Grrrl even if I’m a guy now?
Edit: Thanks everyone for the really sweet answers. Y’all are the best

Hi! Lmk if this kind of post isn't allowed here, but hopefully it feels in line with the community building this space was meant for.

My sapphic punk band Good Judy played a few gigs in the spring and we're starting to book gigs for end of this year / early next year. If your band wants to come through DC, hit me up! I'll help you get it booked and find a third band for the bill with us. Would love to build our community with more out-of-city bands (and maybe in the future we'll come play your city, too).

Working on recording now, but you can see some live clips on our insta. Cheers!
