Podcast appearances and mentions of Allison Wolfe

Festival Season on Roadcase is finally upon us and we're kicking it off from Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago!! For this Part 1 from Pitchfork, I talked to singer, rapper and multi-genre artist, Tkay Maizda and also had a fun convo with the amazing Riot Girrrrls themselves, Molly Neuman and Allison Wolfe of Bratmobile. Tkay has achieved global recognition already in her brief career, having won NME's Best Australian Solo Artist in 2022. She was also nominated for an ARIA award for Best Rap Song for her 2023 single "Silent Assassin."  But accolades alone do not do her justice; Tkay is a joyous human and a tireless artist, and she talked to me about striving to create and perform at the highest levels. We discussed what it was like growing up in Australia, moving frequently from city to city, how she stayed true to herself and her art.Molly and Allison of Bratmobile are back playing live after a 20-year hiatus and are both super excited to be performing again. Having been at the hub of the Riot Girl movement in the early 90s, Bratmobile waved the flag for the DIY spirit and Girl Power. They both talked to me about their fierce advocacy for Women's Rights and for the inclusion of Women in the music industry both in performance and production roles, and talked to me about all the life they've lived since starting up the band over 30 years ago!This is a great episode with these super compelling artists featuring tons of great stories and tales from the road.  Check it out now!!For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Legendary musician Allison Wolfe (of Bratmobile, Sex Stains, Deep Lust, Cold Cold Hearts) joins Melissa and Courtney on SMXR's 50th episode to talk about an “oh, why not” situationship that ruined two songs for her. Then they talk about riot grrl ephemera, pierogis, and the exciting reunion of Bratmobile and upcoming shows.

Bratmobile was one of the most visible bands of the feminist punk riot grrrl movement in the early 1990s. As part of KEXP's northwest music column, Throwaway Style, Martin Douglas spoke with founding members Allison Wolfe and Molly Neuman. In this excerpt, they talk about activism, the origins of Bratmobile and the riot grrrl scene.   Read the full interview here: https://kexp.org/read/2023/7/27/throwaway-style-an-interview-with-bratmobiles-allison-wolfe-and-molly-neuman/Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode 22 of Date with the Night, I'm joined by singer, songwriter, and podcaster, Allison Wolfe - lead singer of the iconic feminist punk-rock band Bratmobile, and one of the founders of the riot grrrl movement of the early 90s. Allison digs into Bratmobile's origins as a theoretical band, their famous feminist zine Girl Germs, and Bratmobile's reunion after 20 years. Allison also talks about the punk-rock mentality behind songwriting and performing.We also talk about the popularization of the riot grrrl movement and “girl power”, and the backlash, commercialization, and appropriation that followed. Despite some of the issues faced when starting a movement and coining a moniker (issues created largely by the media), Allison and I discuss the incredible impact that riot grrrl has had, and continues to have to this day.  Make sure to follow Allison Wolfe and Bratmobile on Instagram, and check out Allison's podcast I'm in the Band via Allison's website here. PS. We also talk about Allison's work on the english adaptation of one of my favourite manga series NANA.

Get ready for some Girls' Germs and Bratmobiles, because Allison Wolfe is here! Listen in as Damian sits down with the Pacific Northwest music legend to talk punk, riot grrrl and the cultural shifts they create. From going to the punk party, to refusing to give Kurt the Vaselines singles, to the Danko Jones Connection, to the importance of Fifth Column, to Riot Grrrl changing academia, to singing in Metal Church: THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED! Also don't miss the return of Bratmobile, July 2 at Oakland's Mosswood Meltdown!

In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Allison Wolfe, better known as one of the founders of the Riot Grrrl movement. Allison is one of the realest OGs in the #womeninvinyl canon of heroes. She has carved an indelible path through punk rock history, and continues to shout loud in numerous mediums. Allison has fronted numerous influential bands like Bratmobile, published ‘zines, released banger records, founded Ladyfest, completed a Masters in Specialized Journalism, toured the world, started a podcast “I'm in the Band”, contributed articles to numerous publications, passages in books, and continues to inspire and speak her mind. All the while, she's still checking out rad shows and keeping her fingers on the pulse of what's what.

“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential 90s musicians and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in the book. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. On this episode, we talk to Allison Wolfe from the band Bratmobile who, along with bands like Bikini Kill and Heavens to Betsy, formed the cornerstone of the riot grrrl movement.

TM pod 46 is a first for the podcast in three ways: it is the first episode recorded with a guest face to face, it's the first one recorded outdoors and it's the first time Jason has talked with singer, writer, podcaster, and OG Riot Grrrl Allison Wolfe. The two old friends cover her formative years in Olympia, where they met in the mid 90's. They explore Allison's multi-decade, ongoing run fronting more than half a dozen punk bands beginning with her ground zero Riot Grrrl band Bratmobile through to her pandemic era project Magic Witch Cook Box. There is a lot of focus on the Olympia music scene of the 80s and 90's. The two ask how a compact little town in an out of the way corner of the country produced such a diverse, remarkable and influential group of bands. While simultaneously acting as the setting for the first sparks of one of the most impactful grassroots political movements of the era; Riot Grrrl. Special attention is paid to the DIY festival culture of Oly that began almost exactly 30 years ago with International Pop Underground and continued with subsequent Yo-Yo a Go-Go's and Alison's own brainchild LadyFest, an indie feminist gathering that would go on to inspire an international series of like minded festivals of the same name. The conversation starts with honest talk about the formidable challenges maintaining hope and motivation in a world gone mad and ends with a celebration of the possibilities that arise when small groups of motivated people get together to create culture in a community bonded by friendship and creative self expression.

Allison Wolfe is a trailblazer in the riot grrrl and punk scene, along with other women she met like Kathleen Hanna in Washington. She started out by putting out the cult-zine Girl Germs which eventually led to her fronting the legendary punk band Bratmobile. She chats with us about #bikinikill and touring with Sleater Kinney. The women in this movement were inspirational and focused on using their voice to protest against male supremacy and sexism.Allison was raised by a strong feminist mother in Olympia, Washington who started Olympia's Eastside Women's Health Clinic in 1981, which was the first of its kind. She has a twin sister, Cindy , and completed her studies at Evergreen College and University of Oregon. She has written for publications such as The Washington Post and was a primary force behind LadyFest, which have taken place throughout the world and she has appeared at many of them.She has also been a part of other bands like Sex Stains, Cold Cold Hearts, and Partyline. We are thrilled to chat with one of the original riot grrrls who helped influence an entire generation of women to use their voice to lift and empower others. www.AllisonCWolfe.comInstagram: @realbabydonut Please subscribe, like, comment, follow!https://www.facebook.com/metalpriestesseshttps://www.instagram.com/metalpriestessespodcasthttps://twitter.com/MetalPriestess2https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZ0nPy3dx4Sk0US9tzkT9A/vi

This episode features musician, artist, and illustrator Tae Won Yu, of the band Kicking Giant. Tae was deeply involved in and influenced by the early Riot Grrrl and do-it-yourself scene in New York, Washington DC, and Olympia, Washington, where he lived for about a decade throughout the 1990s. Tae, and his music, art, and commitment to creating community and connection have long been an inspiration to me.In this conversation Tae thoughtfully shares his unique experience with and understanding of Riot Grrrl, including how he first met Molly Neuman and Allison Wolfe from the band Bratmobile after reading about their zine Girl Germs in Sassy Magazine. We talk about the power of community, self-expression, and the empowering feeling of creating your own scene, identity, and movement. He describes participating in a moment that has been cited as one of Riot Grrrl’s inspirational turning points: Girl Night, featuring all women-front bands, at the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia in 1991.He also discusses how the generation of artists who lived in Olympia before him helped inspire Riot Grrrl and feminist art in the Pacific Northwest and showed him how to build a life as an artist. Those artists include Calvin Johnson and Candice Peterson of K Records, Nikki McClure, Stella Marrs, Slim Moon of Kill Rock Stars, Jean Smith of Mecca Normal, and Lois Maffeo.Tae’s reflections are a beautiful tribute to the compassionate encouragement that existed in the early 1990s scene in Olympia and an example of creating a life for yourself as an artist and outsider.You can find the re-issued Kicking Giant record, This Being the Ballad of Kicking Giant, Halo: NYC/Olympia 1989-1993, at Drawing Room Records. If you want to hear more about the early Riot Grrrl scene, Tae is also featured on the podcast Girl Germs, which focuses on Bratmobile’s first album of the same name.Follow Tae on Instagram on his personal account @Taewonyu and his incredible archive of photos from the Olympia scene at @summer_guitars. This episode features the song “Half Lie” by Taleen Kali.

In 1989, Time magazine pronounced “Feminism is dead.” It seemed to mainstream culture that the conservative era, marked by Regan and Thatcher, had killed the lingering energy that began with the rise of second-wave feminism in the 1960s. And yet, as Rebekah J. Buchanan notes in her new book, Writing a Riot: Riot Grrrl Zines and Feminist Rhetorics (Peter Lang, 2018), a group of girls and young women were about to start making their own waves. We now call them “the riot grrls,” after one of the zines that they created of the same name. In 1991 Molly Neuman and Allison Wolfe were members of the punk band Bratmobile, and Wolfe explained why they chose this name: “we had thought about Girl Riot and then we changed it to Riot Grrl with the three ‘r's' as in growling. It was a cool play on words, and also a kind of expression about how there should be some kind of vehicle where your anger is validated.” That growl started a movement—of youth culture, of music and print culture, of political activism, and of a new punk feminism—that thrived in the 90s and has remained a lasting influence on how we think about women, music, and culture. Buchanan takes us into world of the riot grrls through their own creations, the zines that they wrote, published, and circulated to understand who they were, what they were about, and why magazines like Time were so wrong. Eric LeMay is on the creative writing faculty at Ohio University. His work ranges from food writing to electronic literature. He is the author of three books, most recently In Praise of Nothing: Essay, Memoir, and Experiments (Emergency Press, 2014). He can be reached at eric@ericlemay.org. Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a cool play on words, and also a kind of expression about how there should be some kind of vehicle where your anger is validated.” That growl started a movement—of youth culture, of music and print culture, of political activism, and of a new punk feminism—that thrived in the 90s and has remained a lasting influence on how we think about women, music, and culture. Buchanan takes us into world of the riot grrls through their own creations, the zines that they wrote, published, and circulated to understand who they were, what they were about, and why magazines like Time were so wrong.

If this is your first time checking out the show, welcome! I created this hourlong FCC clean version of the show for KGPC 96.9 FM (aka 9th Floor Radio at Peralta College) in Spring 2015. I made some bleep sounds for the swearing and tried to pick the chunks that I found the most interesting. These are my talks with Calvin Johnson (K Records, Beat Happening), Ron Lynch (Adventure Time, Home Movies), Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile), Mark Gergis (Sham Palace, Porest, Sublime Frequencies), and Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu). You can listen to these in their unedited glory from the same place you got this episode. This episode lead to a short-lived (three episodes!) live radio show called Well Futile that is still housed over at KGPC http://www.9thfloorradio.com/wellfutile . I had to end the WF show due to some personal crises (aka a bunch of my records being stolen) but I feel great being back to this long-form format. Since April I also launched a podcast about documentaries with Paco Romane called 'Sup Doc, so check that out as well. http://supdocpodcast.com Theme music is "After God" by High Castle.
