Posted by nina on August 9, 2004, 8:07 pm CONCEPT: Rebel Fest is a feminist DIY Riot Grrrl festival (in the vein of Ladyfest) with various activities including music, workshops and films. Our roots lie in the punk/hardcore and riot grrrl movement, but we try to make the program as diverse as possible, keeping in mind that ideas are more important than music style.

all rebels welcome! not only women!
Therefore this festival is an explicit feminist festival. Yes, even radical and anarcho feminist. We realise "feminism" is more often considered an insult than a compliment, therefore we feel the need to reclaim the term because, no, we are not afraid to call ourselves feminists. To us, feminism means antisexism, anti-discrimination and equality. Being anarchists as well, we see no use in any hierarchy. We want to fight all oppression and look for various strategies to do so. Sharing our ideas is the first step. Music is a fun means because it ain't our revolution neither if we can't dance to it.
Riot Grrrl could be described as "DIY feminism". Do it yourself becuase you can do it, is what the punk movement taught us. We want to tear down the wall between artists (or rock stars) and the audience. Rebel Fest offers a stage and place to bands and artists who hold the do-it-yourself ethic high. In that DIY underground movement we can all participate. Grrrl, lady, boi or genderqueer, any colour, any age, everyone is welcome at Rebel Fest.

Presence of Mind is from a small town in the north of Germany and produces an exceeding hard and driving, but at the same time melodic rock version. Mainly because of the voice, which is on the one hand lovely and on the other hand angry, is this composition of aggressiveness and melancholia reflected. The four female musicians are all around the age of 19 and founded the band in 2001.
After many shows and the prize of the band coaching SISTARS and several contests, the band wants to reach higher aims. The perfect interplay assures a professional show, whereby they made a name for themselves. But we all know: There can be written a lot in a band info, but I, the writer, know what Im talking about, because Ive seen the powerful show live. (MH)

Riots Not Diets (ARG/FR)
electro riotpunk
"Riots Not Diets started in April 2004 by Agustina Mancinelli, a girl born in Argentina who's been playing since the age of 5. When she was 13, she started playing punk music with friends (for example June and Bridget Chones Pack with which she played at Ladyfest Amsterdam among other places). [...] She moved alone to a very small room in Paris and Riots Not Diets began. Agustina records a demo at her room in a 4 track and asked her brother Federico to join the band and play guitar. From Buenos Aires to Paris it is...
Riots Not Diets is a "punk-a-la-Billy-Idol-let's-have-fun-and-dance", with a drum machine, keyboard solos, guitar and vocals.
Federico play guitar and Agustina sings and presses "play" in the drum machine. They have a good time and make a party out of every encounter!!!"
Agustina also writes the zine "Touch Me I Pee"!
