Our own Jess Blumensheid has written a feature for Venus Zine entitled “How to survive Dude Fest as a dudette”. The latest Dude Fest had an unbelievably awesome lineup, including Torche, Kylesa, Coliseum, Fight Amp, The Gates of Slumber, Pig Destroyer, Insect Warfare, Howl, and Graf Orlock, among many others. As advertised, Fest participants skewed heavily towards XY chromosomes. Jess’ guide to survival as an XX is a glimpse into what might happen if Glamour covered metal – but knew what they were talking about.
