Ronnie Spector, Nikki Corvette and Kim Shattock lead the slate of lady rockers to play at the first annual Girls Got Rhythm Fest in St. Paul,
Minnesota on May 11-12, 2012.

The two-day festival is the brainchild of Dana Raidt, Editor of METRO
magazine
, host of the Girl Gems radio show and Travis Ramin, the
co-founder of Ramo Records. Raidt says the pair had been looking to create a unique event together: “Over the summer we were talking about ways we could collaborate, and Travis brought up the idea of organizing a festival of mainly female artists. We started putting together a lineup and it all sort of came together.”

Raidt says she and Ramin hope to make this an annual show.

Spector, one of rock’s most influential girl-group leaders headlines the
showcase of female-led acts from around the world, which also features
Detroit alt-rock queen Nikki Corvette, Southern California new-wavers The Little Girls and Kim Shattock (with The Muffs), Japanese stars the 5, 6, 7, 8s and Twin Cities favorites L’Assassins.
