Building upon Seattle’s history of bringing gritty, underground rock music to the surface, local female duo Kitty Junk is leaving their mark with the unique brand they call “junk rock.” Kitty Junk throws glam on top of grunge and brings a feminist perspective to hard rock. They are both educators and musicians in the local scene. After many sexist encounters in the music industry, Dane and Lee set out to create more gender-inclusive and POC-friendly spaces in heavy music. Their nonprofit organization Womxn and Audio provides classes, workshops, interviews, and a community for audio engineers, of which only about 5% are women. They also home make zines for each show to highlight various marginalized voices in Seattle.
