Women-fronted bands take over the Parkside Lounge stage for International Women’s Day

On International Women's Day this Saturday, the Parkside Lounge will come alive with seven hours of music as 10 women-fronted indie rock bands take the stage to celebrate women in music.

"This year's show features 10 women-fronted bands, with a mix of talented female and male musicians," said Val Kinzler, founder of We The She, a NYC nonprofit whose mission is to reinforce gender equity and healing through the arts by creating interactive workshops and community-supportive events. 

The lineup includes East Village singer/songwriter Patti Rothberg, who will perform her 1996 debut album, Between the 1 and the 9, in its entirety with her new band, The Patti Rothberg Coincidence.

Most performers are the NYC downtown rock scene veterans; others are up-and-coming talents.

    I have worked with Val Kinzler for years creating logos, posters and custom branded merchandise promoting the shows she produces through NYC Women Rock and We The She NYC. Val works tirelessly organizing and lifting up other female artists. It was an honor to design this poster for Herstory Rocks! Go see the show!
