The Atlanta band Catfight! has been perfecting their unique blend of punk and garage rock since the ’90s. This Saturday, they’re hosting (cat)FIGHT! FOR YOUR RIGHTS, a benefit concert at Eyedrum Art and Music Gallery that supports women’s healthcare and reproductive rights.
The event features eight women-centric bands, including Magnapop, The Brower Sisters Band and Foxy Jones. Proceeds from the concert benefit Planned Parenthood.
Bass player and singer Katy Graves, singer and guitarist Jennifer Leavey, and drummer Stacy Kerber joined “City Lights” managing producer Kim Drobes to discuss their nearly 30-year legacy of music, as well as their commitment to social justice.
Leavey shared with “City Lights” that when the band sought to plan the event, they “wanted to put together a women’s music festival featuring some of our favorite bands that have been around a long time, as well as bands that are up and coming.”
According to Leavey, the benefit concert aims to highlight “the diminishment of women’s rights and reproductive freedoms over the last few years since the reversal of Roe. We really wanted to put that message front and center and also to really create a space where we could inform folks about women’s health, mobilize people to vote and really create a culture that supports women.”
