“What do you get when you put a bunch of kick-a$ rock chicks together with a sense of purpose? You get a better world –or at the very least good step towards one—with one great soundtrack” --- Stephen Bailey, StephenBailey.com.
Bringing back some much needed curves into everyone’s music scene is G-spot’s female front woman, Gail Silverman. Starting the Girls Rock & Girls Rule Tour, she’s not only bringing female rockers to the masses, she’s also giving some much needed attention to communities across the US --- Vanessa Ciccone, Pulse Weekly.
For almost 8 years Girls Rock & Girls Rule has continued its mission of creating awareness and exposure for independent female artists while helping women in the community. Girls Rock & Girls Rule began as asingle event in NYC in 2002 and the tour debuted in 2006 and made multiple stops along the East Coast in NY, NJ, and PA. The 2007 Tour doubled the number of stops and featured more then 35 hard core femmes! In 2008 GRGR we rocked 12 cities along the East Coast from NY to GA to Nashville and more. GRGR culminated their 2008 Fall Tour with an Official Showcase at the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon and their 7th Anniversary show in NYC!
The tour features female rockers groovin’ on everything from pop-rock, to punk, to metal. At each GRGR event Revolutionary Records partners with artists and organizations to offer a fantastic evening of entertainment featuring a combination of the core bands as well as artists from the local area. Local bands are then invited to participate in future GRGR shows. This insures a strong local audience and gives bands an opportunity to gain exposure with new fans while offering local live music lovers some fresh new sounds they might not otherwise have had a chance to hear. Based on the success so far and Gail Silverman, the founder’s and her teams' personal passion for music (all artists themselves) the timing was definitely right to grow and expand. Given the positive and enthusiastic response from the bands, fans, and media it would seem she is on the right track! GRGR is set to become the premiere showcase for discovering the best female rockers on the scene today!
Part of the Girls Rock & Girls Rule mission is to give back and a portion of proceeds from each show is donated to non profit organizations that support women and/or music. In 2008 and 2007 GRGR supported Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls, a non-profit summer day camp serving girls aged 8-18. Girls learn how to play musical instruments, write songs, perform, learn about music, and generally “rock out” in a supportive environment that fosters self-confidence, self-esteem, creativity, tolerance, and collaboration. Other causes supported have included the Voices of Women Organizing Project, Battered Women’s resource Center and Habitat For Humanity’s Women and Girl Build programs.
In addition to the showcases the Girls Rock & Girls Rule Documentary film is currently in production. The film follows the tour, showcasing the live performances while taking you on a fascinating journey with today’s hardest rockin’ female musicians. Audiences will learn what it really means to be an independent female artist today, share their struggles and successes and have a chance to experience these ladies ragin’, rantin’, snarlin’ and screamin’ both on and off stage!
Given the challenging state of the music industry and the lack of female rockers on the forefront today, the time has come for a platform that will being attention to all the fantastic women who are making the kind of music people want to hear. These are not re-touched pop princesses or radio clones they are unique, original and ready to show the world they can rock as hard if not harder than their male counterparts!

Hey Ladies - thanks so much for the rocking show. We can hardly wait to do it again, seriously. In fact, we're looking into the cost of plane tickets to fly to NY this summer just for the fun of it. GREAT fucking town you all live in.
