Vulvarine: The women's rock band conquers the stages of Europe!

The current music world is changing, especially when it comes to the role of women in rock music. One of the striking bands that embodies this change is the purely female rock formation vulvarine founded in Vienna. The musician and band founder Redbreast comments on the reasons for founding the band and underlines that purely female rock groups are no longer considered "exotic" today. This is a sign of an important trend reversal in the music scene.

vulvarine has already taken great steps and was supported by Napalm Records, which sparked interest to America. The band, known for their straight rock style and influences of icons such as Runaways and Girlschool, has recently released a cover version of the hits "Cheri Cheri Lady" by Dieter Bohlen. This strategic procedure is intended to raise the mood among concert visitors and has been accepted by all band members.

first tour and concert announcement

The band is currently on tour with Thundermother and Cobra Spell through eleven countries. A highlight will be the concert in the sold -out scene in Vienna on March 28th. This could possibly also be the first tour of three purely female rock bands. The band has also decided not to give away any new music during the tour to continue to surprise their fans about their musical development.

The cover of the current album adorns a specially created vulvarine superheldin who goes back to a provocative and striking band name. Although they bring a lot of humor into their music, the band also follows professional ambitions and takes their career seriously.

challenges for women in the music industry

Despite the positive developments for vulvarine, a study by the Malisa Foundation that women and non-binary persons are still structured in the music industry. A comprehensive analysis that has been carried out since 2010 shows that gender justice in the music landscape has hardly made any progress. In the German weekly charts, over 85% of the music comes from male composers, while the proportion of women has not passed over 20% in recent years.

Research also shows that the proportion of women at festival stages in 2019 was only 16%. Even if there were slight improvements at smaller festivals in 2022, the male dominance remains unchanged and women are underrepresented in the music industry in all areas.

Overall, it becomes clear that bands such as vulvarine and their successes are important to increase the pressure on the industry and to improve the visibility of women and non -binary people in music.
