Hands Off Gretel’s frontwoman Lauren Tate about sexual molestation: Us girls are angry

"I’ve been kissed, touched, grabbed, licked, and held on to so I couldn’t physically walk away by ‘fans’ at my own gigs, and it honestly breaks my heart" - Hands Off Gretel’s frontwoman Lauren Tate writes in an open letter to Kerrang about sexual molestation of women at concerts. "It’s during the time when I’m meeting fans and thanking them before and after the show that I’m faced with this inappropriate behaviour – behaviour that most girls in bands have to cope with – without anyone to put a stop to it" - she says, and concludes - "Us girls are angry, and that’s our advantage. We will use that anger to change the world".
