We are very honored to have Not Enough Fest Nola featured on the cover of Antigravity, our local alternative music monthly. At the same time, the cover choice and some of the commentary within the article are problematic and need to be addressed. Look for a statement from No More Fiction online and hopefully in the next issue of Antigravity.

we were waiting for the second line to come by our house. My neighbor across the street’s house was the first stop.
i was outside trying to hear the brass bands over the powerlines and stoops. the sound of brass in the air always uplifts me.
i didn’t hear the gunshots 3 block away. i didn’t look for the wounded. my focus was to stay witness to the traumatized. children and families were the victims.
this violence happens often here, except its been a long time since a shooting at a second line. someone was blaming it on our neighborhood. our street.
do you experience this where you live?
i am filled with mixed emotions today. charged. all i can do is be around people i love and appreciate and eat crawfish and cake and drink and celebrate lives and achievements.
if you read this far on this post, i love you and the world needs more love. and second lines.
What a fucking day.
I’m super happy to see NMF and a lot of other folks upset about Anti-Gravity’s coverage of Not Enough Fest. I think putting me alone on the cover of the magazine to promote a festival specifically aimed towards visibilizing and supporting women musicians in New Orleans is problematic and misguided. As one of the only male-socialized queers playing in the festival, an image of me does not represent the awesome ladies and lady-socialized queers who put so much effort into setting up, promoting and playing in that show. It is, however, another easily digestable image which, to the general AG reader, is just another weird looking white dude screaming into a microphone. This is not an underrepresented population within punk music and I was hoping Anti-Gravity would take the cue from NEF organizers and help us by creating visible and affirming coverage of women and female-socialized queers making rad-ass music. I also think the article itself is rife with the kind of inane and misguided bullshit that is the root of the need for events like Not Enough Fest. All that being said, one magazine’s flawed coverage doesnt erase the fact that the festival was an amazing success thanks to the hard work of the ladies and queers who organized and played it.
I love the person who is featured on this cover very much but I agree that this is not the representation that Not Enough Fest deserves.
Also, can we please note that the tag line is NOT ENOUGH FEST “breaks out the fresh meat”???? Fresh meat? Not okay, Antigravity. These ladies and queers are not steaks for you to snack on.
Dziga, this photo shouldn’t represent Not Enough Fest, but you are a babe and I really like what you wrote about the subject.
