Would you like your campus to be free of sexist advertising? The women’s collective is currently organising a campaign to speak out against and stop sexist advertising on campus.

From meeting their lead singer at a drunken, debauched Newcastle party, the band have quickly endeared themselves to their local listeners. In April, the five-piece spread their wings to prestigious venues throughout Sydney and Melbourne (The Metro Theatre, The Annandale, The Hopetoun, The Esplanade, The Rob Roy) on their Whirlwind Romance tour.
