MISSION

At AudioFemme, we love music.  We love music unabashedly, though not always unconditionally.  We love music fiercely, without shame or fear of judgement.  We may not always understand why or how specific songs can inspire such emotional response, but we feel these emotions in ever fiber of our beings.  Everything you read or see here will stand as testimony to that, in a time where so much music writing is based solely on judgements, rating systems, and obscure references to other bands.  We are interested most in the way people experience music, not so much in the way they over-intellectualize or categorize it.  Music is a thing that is felt once it is heard, and it is best celebrated rather than mumbled about at parties or smirked over in record stores.

Though we had noted a lack of female voice in music writing, further investigation has unearthed a wealth of rock journalism written by women, both from the past and in the present.  We created AudioFemme to help make those voices better heard; there’s so much opinion, attitude, appreciation, humor, and terrific writing by women who love music as much as we do.

While AudioFemme is primarily written and edited by Annie White and Lindsey Rhoades (you can learn more about Les Femmes HERE) we want to have guest contributors, and often!!!  We’ll be seeking you ladies out in the near future, but until then feel free to submit – if you’re a DJ, you run a venue, you work in a record store, you play in a band, or you heard something you just can’t get out of your head.  Make mixes and we’ll post them.  Ramble about your muses and obsessions – we’d love to read it.  There are no limits to the scope of genres we’d like to cover nor to the type of writing we’d like to publish here, as long as it is passionate and positive!

Our ultimate goal for this blog is to take it to the streets, incorporating the way we experience music in our daily lives. We want to make you mixes, host parties, book shows, dance with you, and link with organizations like Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls and Make Music New York, all in addition to a smattering of video posts, show reviews, interviews, album raves, and musical rants.

Thank you so, so much for joining us.
