I’m one of those weird people that can remember numbers. Phone numbers, dates, dollar amounts…you name it and I can probably recall it pretty accurately. When I looked at today’s date, I remembered that this was the day back in 1967 that Aretha Franklin released her most notable hit “Respect.”

Patrick became the first female driver to lead the race at
Indianapolis, first when acquiring it for a lap near the 125 mile mark
while cycling through pit stops, and late in the race when she stayed
out one lap longer than her rivals during a set of green-flag pit
stops. Patrick overcame two crucial blunders to finish fourth in the
race, the same position in which she started.

Women playing music is neither a “trend” nor “genre” and ROCKRGRL proves this in every issue. For over a decade, our readers got the inside track of success secrets from the most inspirational women in music. We talked to everyone from Kathleen Hanna and Ani DiFranco to Brody Armstrong and The Donnas and got the real scoop on how they made it.
Music trade and fan publications are intended for a MALE audience. ROCKRGRL presented an important, independent and alternative voice reflecting female musicians’ diverse points of view.

We pride ourselves on INTELLIGENT interviews — a real departure from the condescending and patronizing tone found in other “women in music” magazines and web sites. (No beauty tips or guilt trips here — just shop talk with fascinating artists.)We are also the #1 resource for musicians and provide useful information on industry news, starting your own label, juggling music and motherhood, booking your own tour, publicity, getting on the radio, legal issues, gear, studio tips and more. It’s for us, by us!

From Founder Brenda Kahn:

I think it’s important for all women musicians to realize their potential as players. Although women are much more prevalent in mainstream music today, the obstacles and prejudices are still there. The appropriateness of rock ‘n’ roll as a career for women, the necessity for women to look and dress a certain way (something that takes time and attention away from working on your skills as a player), or just the fact that 99.9 percent of all labels are run and managed by men puts women at a disadvantage when trying to negotiate the testosterone-fueled music industry. But to rise above the muck and really learn to play, you first have to realize that it’s possible to be a girl and still rock with as much passion as any guy out there.
