ANTI-VALENTINE’S DAY RIOT GRRRL COVER SHOW

PRESENTED BY KATHI KO & CAROLANNE MARCANTONIO


If you’ve been directed here by the article in BUST magazine, hello! The Anti-Valentine’s Day Riot Grrrl Cover Show IS NOT presented by For the Birds Collective. The Anti-V-Day Show was established by Mel Elberg, Amelia Jackie, Elise Kauffman, and Sarah Rose Janko at the 1087 Loft in Brooklyn. Organized in 2009 by Kathi Ko and then in 2010 by Carolanne Marcantonio, the show is co-presented in 2011 by Ms. Ko & Ms. Marcantonio. The Anti-V-Day Show is, and has been, an annual celebration of women musicians & queer-love (and against Valentine’s Day)!

In 2009, Kathi Ko & For the Birds Collective co-released Gimme Cooties (a compilation CD and tape) at the Anti-V-Day show, documenting women-fronted bands in the New York scene & surrounding area. This year, the show will benefit CYCLE, an all-women run bicycle shop that is in its forming stages.

For the Birds has tabled the Anti-V-Day show every year, and we are honored to be a part of this great event again in 2011. Please attend and support Kathi & Carolanne’s efforts! We’ll be there behind our distro table, as always.

  3. FACT CHECK!!!!!!! this show was founded by yours truely, Amelia Jackie, Elise Kauffman and Sarah rose Janko at our house, the 1087 LOFT about 5 years ago.

  4. Dear Mel et. al,

    Apologies for the mixup. Last year I rushed to get this post up on the FTB site because people (including press, like BUST Magazine!) kept erroneously attributing the cover band show to us, and we wanted to be sure that the right people got their due credit. I edited the post above to reflect your changes.

    Thanks!
    Kate
