"These days American radio and media are inundated with boy bands and the only female voices we hear and see are the dance-pop divas or the pre-fabricated teenage corporate chick rock. Nowadays, the real visionary rocker girls with true grit, passion, and power, who play hard and take chances, who don't necessarily fit into America's mainstream but do unfuckingbelievably worthy rock n' roll, are getting lost in the shuffle. Where are the real female rock n' roll icons these days? Where are the tough bitches not pieced painstakingly together by corporate America who really LIVE the lives they sing about? This is why I created the Medusa Festival, to find and celebrate these women... the best unsung underground chick rock power in New York City. "
