Stamping out sexual assault at gigs: “Make your voice heard and show solidarity”
01.05.2024 - 15:59 / nme.com
Sprints frontwoman Karla Chubb has spoken to NME about her recent ordeal of being sexually assaulted at one of the band’s shows, as the organisation Girls Against share advice for other victims and bystanders with a view to stamping out groping at gigs.Last week, Chubb took to social media to share that she’d had the “abhorrent” experience of being sexually assaulted for a second time at a gig – telling fans: “Female performers should be able to engage with their audience, step off the stage or perform without fear of groping, unwanted touching, cat-calling and harassment. The fact that this is still an everyday occurrence for most women is beyond reprehensible”.The Dublin band have been on the road throughout 2024 in support of their acclaimed debut album ‘Letter To Self‘.
Last month saw them play a sold-out show in Heaven in London where Chubb took the opportunity to pay tribute to the “beautiful queer space” of the venue and speak out for equality. The group’s standing as a “pretty inclusive and a very vocal band” is what has made the assaults all the more shocking, as Chubb explained.“It was just shock initially,” she told NME.
“I was talking to the guys in the green room and it hit me that it wasn’t normal. The next day, I woke up and I was pretty angry.
The more I started to think about it, the more I started to realise I needed to say something because it’s just not OK that it happens to women at all – let alone at the endemic level that it does across the music industry.“Then I started to notice bruising. Things like that make you feel vindicated at how serious it was.”Notes on yesterday.
