Big Up Our Babes

VICTORIA LOUISE PECKHAM

Hi! I’m Vicky, unashamed Trekkie & liker of cats & cat pics 😻

I play bass in noise-pop band The Other Ones & write songs about being an anxious mess & being mistaken for a groupie.

Here for all your self care woes & scathing commentary about male dominated scenes.

πŸ’– Vic will be joining us to head up some of the more sparkly side of our music coverage – she also pioneered our Grrrl Gear Initiative πŸ˜‰

MAEVE GROHL

Hi, I’m Maeve Grohl: bassist, guitar pedal enthusiast & gig promoter 🎸

I’m your go-to gal for gear, from the latest in fuzz pedals to obscure guitar brands.

I previously ran my own promotions company (Nerve Grass Promotions in Leeds), which was created with the sole purpose of bringing more awesome bands featuring non-male, non-binary, LGBT+ & POC members to the city.

It’s my mission in life to get more of these incredible people onstage with an instrument in their hands. The heavier the genre, the better!

πŸ’– Maeve is joining us to head up the future of punk, metal & alt music – as well as delighting us with an exclusive series on Grrrl Jams πŸ’•
