do any of yu gals get groupies? i find them few and far between and wonder if guys are kinda scared of us.....i've heard men claim that if you stick a chick on a bike or a guitar in her hands her sex appeal shoots through the roof, but we seem to only get the odd Star Trekker interested in us. weird.....

Yep, no probs with your English :)

btw, YOUR ENGLISH READS PERFECTLY FINE , HERE,   : )

I guess it's a little different here in Brasil. Although I think the guitar player (a boy) and the drummer (a girl) get more groupies (girls) than me, I can say I have my (nice) share. I've noticed they are younger (I mean 17-25); they say all kinds of nice stuff about you and your band, they want to buy the record, the t-shirt, everything... I think, in my experience, older men are actually intimidated by women on stage.

I used to see Neko around , sometimes , before she "Made it". I can't imagine she was'nt getting hit on by cockier , more aggressive (i.e dull.) guys , back then. But , even , say , 10 years ago , she did'nt look very approachable. You mean I blew my chance? I'm KIDDING.

Neko Case has wondered about this. But I posted that article I've linked to on Facebook and some musicians I know refuted that there is a male groupie shortage.

They should'nt be , though. If they lived from the 80's (Or before) to the present, they've seen the changes that have taken place , from when you'd only see Women in Rock bands , here and there.

I'm probably the wrong one to advise you on this , but ,if you just go out before and after the show , as much as possible , and try to be sociable , esp. if it's with guys you might like , they should see all the wildness on stage is just in fun , and they should'nt be a - scared.

I play guitar in a 3/4 girl garage band and there are some dudes that totally dig us. There's this punk that hangs around our band practices and loves talking about music with me and thinks I'm a "cutie" or something. However, we don't have loads of guys worshipping us. Most of the band sort of goes crazy at shows so maybe they're scared? haha.

I'd love to be a spunky male groupie :):):)

There definitely ARE Male Groupies , but , how they go about it is very different , at least , most of the time.... I've met Female rockers who were very sexy and very friendly , but , I was'nt trying to make them uncomfortable , just make conversation , and , they understood that. Whether it went beyond that , I'm pleadin' the fifth. Maybe some of them want to have Male Groupies. You have to understand , we Men are generally clueless on such matters.

Any guy with sense does'nt want to step over the line , or be out of line....

Maybe some Lady Rockers are'nt making their interest clear , because they don't want to be percieved a certain way , or they forget , WE'RE GUYS. We're the ones who need to be hit in the head once in a while , to know the other in interested.

 

I saw The Pandoras in '86 , and , while they had a lot of Male fans in attendance. Most of them were terrified by their sexual confidence and aggression. Not this boy.

I front and play rhythm guitar in my punk rock band TV Tramps (the rest are dudes) and I can say that the main groupie type guys I've had were pariahs and shut ins! lol My boyfriend is pretty much my biggest and sexiest fan :)
