Typical Girls: Merri-bek's Punk Conglomerate is a collection of brand new punk bands made up of women and gender diverse people each with at least 40 years experience surviving the patriarchy. New to playing in bands and, in some cases, their instruments too, these folk met for the first time in January to start collaborative songwriting and rehearsals. The bands have all produced killer songs addressing political, domestic and community themes, and are ready to bring them to the Brunswick Music Festival stage!
