David Duchovny Rocks

Bree McKenna is a musician, writer, Libra and feminist witch living in Seattle. She splits her time playing bass in Tacocat, the Hardly Art punk pop band responsible for anti-street harassment anthem &#8220;Hey Girl&#8221; and celebratory menstruation surf-rock hit &#8220;Crimson Wave,&#8221; and in pregnancy-themed supergroup Childbirth, who write funny feminist punk songs gleefully commemorating questionable sexual decisions and skewering dudes who ask rude questions about scissoring. As a writer, McKenna&#8217;s work has appeared in She Shreds, Vice and Seattle alternative weekly the Stranger, notably satirizing music journalism misogyny in a &#8220;Men Who Rock!&#8221; issue and calling out punk scene sexism in her essay &#8220;Sexist Queers.&#8221; McKenna loves chihuahuas, essential oils, and spell-casting.
