Feminist punk legends Bratmobile brought their singular brand of pointed political prowess and infectious dance punk chops to the stage for the first time in 20 years with an outrageous headline performance at Mosswood Meltdown in 2023. The reunion sparked a resurgence of critical acclaim and an outpour of fan support leading to appearances at Pitchfork Music Festival, Punk Rock Bowling and more. The band is thrilled to hit the road again this summer with a valiant return to the John Waters-hosted Mosswood Meltdown next month along with a slew of additional dates in Los Angeles, Portland, Vancouver and the South Sound Block Party in Olympia.
Bratmobile originally formed during an extreme political climate which we currently find ourselves in again. The band’s songs are still just as meaningful 20 years later, reaching the next generation as they welcome the next generation of Brat fans and children to their all-ages concerts. Speaking out and speaking up has been Bratmobile’s siren call. While we may reside in a different era now, they aim to create joy, community and space for more of us to use our voices.
Bratmobile’s live line-up features original singer Allison Wolfe and drummer Molly Neuman joined by Rose Melberg on guitar (Tiger Trap, the Softies), Audrey Marrs on keys (Mocket, Bratmobile 2.0 live, Oscar-winning filmmaker) and Marty Key on bass (Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Steady Sounds, Young Pioneers). The band recently linked up with Kill Rock Stars to release remastered reissues of Ladies, Women and Girls (October 4, 2000) and Girls Get Busy (May 7, 2002) on vinyl & CD. Stay tuned for more exciting news coming soon!
