Monster Mastership
Monster Mastership –Westfalenhallen Dortmund After recovering for the last few days I finally feel ready to report about the 23rd Monster Mastership, feeling totally awake again! Last time I had been to the mastership has already been six or seven years ago (am I getting old?). Back then it was still in Münster and the last things I remember... Continue »
The Wildhearts – TriBeCa Rock Club
As my truly faithful readers may remember (this means Frank!), my lovely toxic twin Elizabeth (may she rest in rock) was a Wildhearts fan and really was one of the people responsible for me going to this show. I wish she were alive to see it – it really would have been off the chain, but let me bring... Continue »
Whole Year’s Worth of Updates
Summer Update 2004 First of all: I got really BIG news for you!!! Coolgrrrls.com has been covering punkrock and skateboard events since 1997. And as punkrock and skateboarding is just such a wicked and cool alliance we (or basically Frank) decided to do our own skateboard label. So, I am proud to announce: COOL GIRLS SKATEBOARDS This will be... Continue »
Here’s the Update You’ve...
Oh my! Remember me, Kari the Coolgrrrls correspondent from Argentina? yeah, it’s me, I’m back! I know it´s been ages since my last update, so let´s skip the part where I explain how busy I´ve been and dive directly into the juicy news about the scene. I was last seen playing with Hyperstatic at Cosquin rock -the summer fest,... Continue »
Missing SF
So I have been really slow in writing updates since I moved to LA. I think partly due to the fact that I am not loving the music scene here so far. I mean, I’m the kind of girl who can make my own fun, but good shows here are either high priced, or few and far between. I... Continue »
Traveling Suits Me
Summer is the time for travel and I had the opportunity to be quite a jet setter when I zoomed up to Toronto for a quick weekend to attend the Much Music Awards. As Canada’s version of MTV, they don’t skimp on fan fair in celebrating the bands that make the channel happen. Set up in a canopied parking... Continue »
Bowling Fever
2004 Punk Rock Bowling Tournament – the most debauched yet! The BYO Punk Rock Bowling Tournament 2004 This year’s bowling tournament proved to be full of wackier hi-jinx than EVER. It first had the air of doom, and then had a rip-roaring finish with us as big losers – but in our hearts, we were WINNERS! We didn’t practice,... Continue »
Festivals in Germany
Rocco del Schlacko, Püttlingen For the the sixth time the rocco team worked day and night to organize this non-profit-event: What started as a small festival planned by a handful of students became one of the biggest festivals in the Saarland! This year there were about 6000 people, all rockin’ the house like there was no tomorrow. But I... Continue »
March for Women’s Lives
I had planned to go to the March for Women’s Lives since the very first day I heard about it, several months ago. The March, originally called March for Choice, was in protest to the Bush Administration’s attack on women’s rights. We weren’t just there to fight for our right to have an abortion. We were also there to... Continue »
Its Been A While
Well, I’ll admit, I’ve fallen behind in my reports. Spring is in the air, the flowers are in bloom and man, it’s been hot! Even a lovely weekender to beautiful Santa Barbara wasn’t enough to help me beat the heat around here. But here’s all the latest to keep you cool: Holding true to the motto of “the Girls’...

Just Turned 22
Hi Sexies! I am back on track, still have not saved the world, but I am here with tons of things to share. First of all some basic things you might have to know. 1. I turned 22 yippie-yeah! 2. I got a new car, which is red for a change again! 3. Started to write my dissertation on... Continue »
Busy times!
Hey everybody! A whole lot has been going on. So much, in fact that the prospect of sitting down to catch up and write it all makes me want to do anything but! Okay, I am going to buckle down and get it done cause I actually have people waiting for it! I’m going to start with the most... Continue »
Spring Update
First of all: I have to mention that Frank sent me a surprise package a couple of weeks ago. He wouldn’t want to tell me what’s inside. And since I am a very nosey girl I could hardly wait to receive it. But oh yeah, the package was a real surprise. It contained a lot of CDs and two... Continue »
Round the World
Well well well, I’ve become a world traveler since I last wrote my update!! I didn’t mean to leave it this long and heaps of love to Frank @ coolgrrrls.com for his patience with me. Let’s begin with my trip to Germany in August 2003; I landed in Düsseldorf and was shocked to find myself in the middle of... Continue »
Ups and Downs with Season Ending
While my gal pals and I still mourn the end of “Sex and the City” — the show we watched religiously, bonded over, and puzzled (if not mortified) most of our male friends with by gushing our devotion to this extended group of TV girlfriends — I managed to ease my withdrawl by purchasing a few seasons of the...

Awesome Gigs
After my year in review, I have to obliterate my memory banks and start all over again! Especially since I’m trying to be healthier and more athletic, New Year’s Eve is the last debauch (ha!) for a gal who is trying to mend her decadent ways, or at least compensate for them. I heard that Eartha Kitt was playing... Continue »
We Rocked Cosquin Rock
Hello everyone! Here I am about to enter the end of our Southern summer, but before that I’m gonna tell you all about the biggest Argentinean summer fest: Cosquin Rock 2004! Someone out there might remember last year our band Hyperstatic played at the fest, and as I said before we won the band competition last December to go... Continue »
Life in LA
Hey Everybody. I haven’t written anything in a while because I’ve been adjusting to my new life in LA. I think I am finally used to being here, and having a car and driving everywhere, but I do occasionally miss the San Francisco way of life. There’s nothing like walking around the city and being surrounded by people from... Continue »
