269 Ladies of Metal
A show from Hugh’s friend Nigel, and fortuitously timed to arrive when we needed a show to go with the week of International Women’s Day. In the words of the Monty Python sketch, and now for something completely different – Ladies of Metal, all-female and female-led bands playing the the metal genres.
The preshow was different, filled with bands playing songs with metals in their titles. The Postshow was from The Heaviest Metal Band, Mammoth, whose members (all male) are very large around the waist area.
A truly international show as well, with examples from all over the world, the US, Japan, the far East, Africa and Europe. Some of these artists have struggled against more than simple musical prejudice as well, particularly the ones from Indonesia and Madagascar, and it showed in their angry songs.
