Plt;bPgt;Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich speaks with women and gender-diverse artists who changed the Australian music industry on their own terms.Plt;/bPgt;
Plt;bPgt;Featuring interviews with Amy Taylor of Amyl and the Sniffers, Angie McMahon, Anna Laverty, Anna Lunoe, BARKAA, Camp Cope, Courtney Barnett, Elly-May Barnes, Fanny Lumsden, Julia Jacklin, Kira Puru, Marcia Hines, RIAH, Romy Vager, Sampa the Great, Sarah Blasko, Sosefina Fuamoli and Vika and Linda Bull.Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;iPgt;From our very first show in Brisbane in 2016, when we stopped mid-set to call out a guy who was pushing to the front and shoving women aside, we knew exactly what kind of space we wanted to build. One where women and queer people didnP#8217;t have to shrink themselves or brace for impact if they didnP#8217;t. And if you had a problem with that, it was not for you.Plt;/iPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Trailblazing female punk band Camp Cope changed the Australian music scene forever, from their It Takes One campaign to end sexual harassment at gigs to their track P#8216;The OpenerP#8217;, which became an anthem for fearlessly calling out the sexism that permeates the industry. Here, Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich, Camp CopeP#8217;s bass player, brings that same passion to conversations with fellow artists who represent the firsts and the future of Australian music.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;iPgt;ItP#39;s Not For YouPlt;/iPgt; goes beyond the music, offering a peek behind the curtain, generous personal reflection, catharsis, camaraderie and inspiration for anyone whoP#8217;s ever been told they were too much or not enough.
