Lena Kampf und Daniel Drepper "Row Zero"

In the organizer's words:

For decades, young women have been used and discriminated against in the music industry: Whether fans, groupies, journalists, female employees or singers themselves - the myth of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, all the money and the extreme power imbalance have paved the way for sexualized violence across all genres.

The discussion surrounding the allegations against Rammstein singer Till Lindemann shows that these conditions are now breaking down: These conditions are now breaking open. Women are fighting back. And they are finally being heard.

Lena Kampf and Daniel Drepper have spent many months researching and talking to more than two hundred people from the music industry. The authors write a gripping and sensitive account of the abuse of power in the music industry. They describe the structures that make such abuse possible. And they show why this system is now - thanks to courageous women and supportive activists - gradually beginning to falter.
