THE SCORCES


"It is with serious regret that we must cancel the Scorces May UK tour, due to a sudden and critical illness in Christina Carter's family. She is returning to the US tomorrow morning. Thanks to everyone who committed to presenting Scorces - your efforts and hard work are very much appreciated. We're hoping that we can reschedule this tour in the future " Scorces

"don't need you" is a documentary film that tells the story of the origins of Riot Grrrl in the American independent music scene of the 1990s, and how this feminist movement evolved into a revolutionary underground network of education and self-awareness through music, writing, activism, and women-friendly community. The film gives audiences a chance to meet key figures in the development of Riot Grrrl and see for themselves how these women have changed the history of music and feminism forever. The film features one-on-one interviews interspersed with rare, archival materials, including original Riot Grrrl fanzines, flyers, and photographs, as well as seldom seen footage from pioneering Riot Grrrl bands like Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy, and Bratmobile.

Spillers Record shop is under threat from extortionate rates and the World's Oldest record shop could potentially close. PLEASE register your support here:
SAVE SPILLERS n.b. after you've registered click off if you don't wish to donate any money.
If you're buying music, please buy as much of your music as possible from one of the last few 'independent' music stores. Spillers is vital to Welsh Music and it's closure would be a cultural disaster.
