I'd like to meet:
We are co-presenting, with RedCat Records, a benefit in the honour of Mia Zapata, lead singer of Seattle-based riot grrrl band who was raped and murdered on her way home from a show on July 7th 1993. It was over 10 years before her assailant was caught. This concert will benefit women in crisis and features the talents of
