how come i didn't know nuts about this ladyfest thing ah?
i'm on for the website in terms of communicative purposes but i don't know about the attention on females bit. *shrugs* i don't like the limelight of it just because i'm a female musician. but that's just me, maybe other girls want that sorta thing, so maybe i'll go for it but won't list myself. :}}
k set.
ps/ i'm searching for guitarists with lotsa esoteric effects. i don't know what those effects are, but if they're soundscapish, pop me a msg. or any guitarist who likes playing those postrocky stuffs.

Amanda should go ahead with the ideas.There's equal advantages in an all girls band or all boys band as well as mixed up bands. The point is if you feel strong enough to do it,just do it. Don't wait for others. Who knows there might be more female musicians in sg than male in future because of your side project?

Totally 100% AverRal's Support for your movement 
Available for editorial position to contribute articles for your upcoming website.
The Rock Chick's thread was to create awareness of the female faces in the industry, but your website will create awareness of the music of females in the industry that is way to go man, it is something i was not able to achieve in my first movement.
Please, do not listen to the guys. They can be divided to these sterotypes: the MCP , the Gentleman , the Negative Complaining Singaporean and the Yes Man. Whatever !@&^ they throw at you, just throw it back at them even harder!
Actually, you do not even need their support!
You just need to believe in yourself
Just like what i did when
i stood in the middle of a busy cross junction
with a bass guitar

biopromax: Ah, hello! Hahaha.
blueprint, rottenramone, haricane: Thanks guys! Any suggestions will be much appreciated too!
sage: It's not much of a limelight kind of thing, really. I'm not intending it to be a scream-in-your-face 'hello i'm a girl, so look here!' kind of thing, so don't worry. Just a community kind of thing. But yep, you can take a look at it when it's up, see whether it's your cup of tea or not!
AverRal: Hey there! Thanks loads for the support! But again I have to stress it's not an anti-guy thing okay. Hahaha. But yep, I'll ask for help when I'm more organized with the site!
I'm wondering how I can make it more interactive though - a forum isn't exactly every effective imo, probably won't have much activity either, so i'd much rather ask James for an extension in the forum maybe (but then again it might get spammed/flamed/godknowswhatelse). But is there anyone with other suggestions on that?

Actually even if u set up a standalone website, people can still spam..I mean if u set up a standalone website, u most prob will advertise abt it through soft, right? So an extension on soft is a good idea, and if it gets spammed, i thnk averal will come to the rescue. Forum is actually intereactive, except tat people can get abit irresponsible in their postings as its not a direct face to face thing. Or u can try organisin a monthly meet up just to hang out or discussion.
There are lots of ways to make it more interesting and useful...for example, the website can have a database of female musicians categorised by instruments, etc. If you wanna, can even do a simple profile page or some forms for them to fill up and add their info to the database. Then you can also have a sounds/music section where you can feature any form of music/samples, etc contributed by the members...can be anything...originals, demos, short clip of themselves doodling on their instruments, video clips, etc. Every week you can showcase and rotate a member's work, or do a short interview, etc just to spice things up. Of course, once you start to organise gigs like ladyfest, etc you can incorporate them in...advertising/promoting them.
Well, let it slowly grow into a community and it'll work itself out I have other ideas, etc and perhaps will contribute more via pm or something.
The start is always difficult at first...ideas and concepts can sound promising and exciting but execution can be hard...take a few small steps at a time and see how it goes
Good luck!
P.s Yeah, I'm saying so much cos I'm also looking around female band members to start a side band and such a website would greatly help *lol*

the website thing.. i dont think its a good idea.. unless u work really hard. Starting a website is not just about html or webdesign or the content. You need to be able to sustain it.
just look around the local music community, there arent many websites which are as successful as soft. The other websites dont really get alot of traffic and are somewhat stagnating because of that. The local music netizen community is already pretty small, and you are carving out an even smaller piece of that pie by playing gender. I dont think the level of traffic would be able to sustain the website nor will it be worthwhile to start this project.
MCP = Malayan Communist Party? thought they're now defunct?
