Part 1 of 2

Here is part 2 with Carmen, Alexz, Roz and Shelly. We moved on from being women in business to being women in punk. I don’t want to paraphrase what they have to say. Some of their experiences have been frustrating, deplorable and very personal. It’s better to just hear it in their own words

Rosalind McCallard, Shelly Shellhorn, Carmen Waltz and Alexz Sandoval join Titanic Reaction to talk about being women business owners and what it’s like to be women in punk.

The Prids have been in Portland longer than the internet has. They talk about the changes they’ve seen in Portland, how it was to be a new band moving here, and how a Team Dresch interview about a vegetarian hospital brought them here. Featuring their songs Lie Here, Haunted and Break.

Titanic Reaction sits down with Eric and Corey from Aus Rotten. We talk about trading tapes of bands you found out about in a thanks list from a record, what it’s like to be a teenager getting into punk all the way to being a bit older and passing the torch with excitement instead of bitterness. Also, running from your high school graduation to jump in the van to get to a show in Allentown.

Jesse had to leave but Roxy and I hadn’t talked in years so we just kept talking. She talks about being a woman in rock, the Midnight Creeps and meeting Joan Jett. There are also a few songs from different eras of The Epoxies, including one of her favorites, My New World.

Portland music always has its up and downs. The late 90's were seriously down. Around that time came the exact opposite of what was happening. A woman up front, checkered Vans, spandex pants, electrical tape, and best of all.....keyboards. Joining me today is FM Static and Roxy Epoxy from The Epoxies.

Listen and see what Savage Beat has to say about their new record, Dutch cops, Chiswick records and what they think of their shows in Portland.
