Rock 'n' Roll Boy's Club

Chasing the Chords

In this podcast, music educator, Brian Jump, and bass player, Jonny Southern, talk about gender disparities that exist in rock bands and in rock audiences. They comment on the curious phenomenon of all-male styles, the ridiculous ritual of slam dancing, and the relative scarcity of female rock bands. Jump argues that the boy's-club mentality of rock music represents a type of support group for men and boys. Southern argues that equally-balanced audiences, like that of jam bands, is a result of drug culture.
