band felt that basic human rights, like having the right to a
safe and legal abortion, were gradually becoming outlawed by
their government.

They realized they had to make people aware of this, and
do something about changing abortion laws. So they put
together their first Rock for Choice show in October 1991,
which included the band Nirvana.

It proved to be a winning formula. All proceeds from the
concert were donated to the Feminist Majority, an organiza-
tion that works to give women cquai rights, including access
to safe. abortions and birth control.

The concert educated people, exposed them to good
music, and helped raise much needed money to help fight
anti-abortion groups. Since then, there have been many Rock
For Choice concerts across North America.

This year was the fourth anniversary of Rock for Choice in
Vancouver, All bands involved donated their time.

Friday’s lineup included: Gaze, Ten Days Late, Mudgirl,
Mollie's Revenge, and Pluto. Gaze and Ten Days Late were
both my favorites.
