Notice anything about that list? It’s frill of men, most of whom overplayed—ahem!— over stayed their welcomes, talented or not (a statement inviting great debate among those for whom the neon guitar is/was a status symbol).To silence the stereotypi cal ways of the Kingdom of Shred, on Saturday, Octo ber 22, Shred Fest will reclaim shredderdom for women only, and you don’t need a Dean Razorback to shiver off the ghosts of those old Hessians. The inaugural Shred Fest digs deep into the femi nist punk rock playbook, showcasing underground rock, electro, punk and more from locals like Reporter, the queer-centric Fucking Lesbian Bitches and Tombstalker, and beyond to K Records artist Tender Forever (aka Melanie Valera). Cat Fancy! fans will want to shred extra hard during the garage-y gait of the Portland crew’s final show ever. As if you needed another reason to watch rock ‘n’ rollin’ women go apeshit on stage, the festival will raise money to start She Shreds, a magazine dedicated to the female guitarist. Bonus! Shredding, as you’ll no doubt hear, see, smell and taste, is a state of mind. Own it, grrrl. Sat., Oct. 22, 3 p.m .; Troubadour Studios, 1020 SE Market St.; S7-S10 at the door; a ll ages; search “Shred F est” on Facebook. — R yan J. P rado
