The Downbeat Podcast - Connie Sgarbossa (SeeYouSpaceCowboy)

Күн бұрын

My guest this week is Connie Sgarbossa, vocalist of SeeYouSpaceCowboy. We talked about the creation of their upcoming as-yet-untitled new album as well as her history in the myspace-adjacent music scene and soundcloud rappers, her struggles with addiction and experiences being a trans woman in heavy music, the earth being flat, radical politics and many more buzzwords that could not possibly stoke up the comment section more if I tried.

Last year I saw you at Jera and left the pit bleeding. I'm in my 40s and it was the first time since years I went in the pit and got injured. It's a compliment. It was really crazy.

I just wanna thank Connie for being as open as she is about her struggles with shit from drugs to mental health. It’s nice to be reminded people struggle with the same exact things you do with the same outlook on things. It’s kind of validating and doesn’t make me feel so alone.

as a trans guy whos only really only out as trans online and with my friends, it makes me so emotional in a really good way to see a trans woman in heavy music whos open about her identity like its kinda almost crazy to me . i love trans ppl so much queers forever

I love that you have Connie on the Podcast! She's kinda making me feel more comfortable being openly trans in the core scene wich is hard tbh. But I love SYSC! Saw them with The Amity Affliction in Hamburg earlier this year and it was so cool!

You didn't feel comfortable in the core scene? I feel sorry for you. I'm in quite a big local scene and everyone is open to anything.

@trynecz 5 ай бұрын

@@therealcleany Sorry for reviving an old comment, but felt like commenting on this. I think it depends where the person is from. Not just where in the US or whatever, but overall. I am from Eastern Europe, and you would think that metalcore or hardcore shows would have more open minded people, but not really. The whole country overall is pretty hostile towards trans people and LGBT. You are pretty much guaranteed to get harassed at shows and stuff. I skip out on some shows sometimes because I simply do not have the energy to deal with that. Hell, even the booking agencies organizing the shows here are transphobic. x.x

I've been to hundreds of shows, plenty with trans people. I don't know how you can argue that shows are, on average, hostile towards people who are LGBT.
