What We've Been up to from May - Early August

Time for a bit of catching up! From May to early August we...

Held our first Typical Girls open meeting at Kro Bar.

Talked to the University of Manchester's feminist society, Riveters, about our plans for Typical Girls and how we could network with other Manchester / Salford based feminist groups.

DJ'd at Make Do and Dance at The Thirsty Scholar. Also at Make Do and Dance were the amazing Cherryade Records talking about "How to Start an Indie Label" as well as an open mic and stalls by For Books Sake.

We went on the wonderful All.FM Anything Goes Breakfast Show with Fiona Ledgard. We talked about feminism and Typical Girls as well as playing loads of our favourite female fronted music! You can have a listen to the show here.

Our first night at Wählbar went amazingly well and we raised nearly £500 for Manchester Rape Crisis! We had amazing sets by ILL, Rose Clout and Rachel Whatever as well as a stall by For Books Sake

DJ'd at the afterparty of What It Feels Like, an exhibition of women artists at Bankley Mill Studios. The afterparty was at the Klondyke Club in Levenshulme, a really lovely venue that we'd never been to before! The bands playing the afterparty were great as well, especially the late addition Los Cripis from Argentina!

Started looking for slightly bigger venues for our second night and ended up with the wonderfully DIY friendly Star & Garter.
