I just learned about these girls the other day and checked out some of their stuff and they actually aren’t bad. There’s only three of them: A girl who does decent lead guitar and not-as-decent vocals, a drummer who doesn’t have much of a kit, but does well with what she has, and the real star of the band: The bassist. [Check this girl out!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sm4PYsGg0k) I’m not the biggest music guy in the world, but I’m pretty sure that she’s a damn good bassist, and I don’t have to even qualify it with a “as a girl” or “for her age”. [Here’s another (better quality) video of one of their songs.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhAfYTk2po8) They could use some refinement and a good manager, but I think there’s some pretty good potential there. ---

They are all very talented, but yeah, Widi Rahmawati is gonna be a monster! She’s already got fantastic technique; now we just have to see how good her ear is. Mike Watt was making some of his best music when he was just a few years older than Miss Rahmawati, so I hope for the best for her (and thus for us!). [The Guardian had an article about them couple of months ago](https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/jun/09/the-schoolgirl-thrash-metal-band-smashing-stereotypes-java-indonesia-voice-baceprot). [NPR had one last week](http://www.npr.org/2017/08/09/542238928/meet-voice-of-baceprot-the-all-girl-metal-band-making-waves-in-indonesia). ---

Did you know there is an Iranian girl rapper, who actually has some international fame? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nIsBkMnwPVs/hqdefault.jpg "Salome Mc - Price of Freedom ft. SplytSecond | بهای رهایی") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIsBkMnwPVs)
