Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES & Shirley Manson of Garbage | SXSW LIVE STUDIO 

I legit came here for Lauren’s accent

Got a big sister, little sister vibe out of this and it was awesome but even more so because they aren't that as much as they are peers. Love both bands!

Two super cool human beings I love and I love their music as well, fantastic artists both on their own way.

Lauren's voice is very ASMR.

Shirley Manson is a legend. I love her work and contribution to rock/alternative music

This vid just caught me off guard just minutes ago as I am a fan of both bands/groups. This is so damned cool here.

Lauren is a Goddess.

I love the dynamic Lauren and Shirley have. You can tell Shirley has been through it all and learned to give the "daytime TV" answer. 7:41 he's basically like "Now it's cool to speak up for women..." It's quiet but Lauren says "Is it?", Shirley laughs off the insensitive question... I'm totally like Lauren but one day I hope to be as mature, wise, and fuckin badass as Shirley Manson

Lauren sounds so cute in that song recover ☺

A Garbage & Chvrches colab would be amazing!

Looking at these two ladies, I guess Fountain of Youth is located in Scotland.

We Love You Lavren!

"outspoke" for a woman is just saying how things are. Love them both.

I don't think I've ever felt like the same kind of person as someone else as i do when i hear Lauren speak.

Ahhh Lauren!

I would love to see they singing together in song :3

The Scottish stereotype bit at the beginning was absolutely hilarious!

I love their accent 🥰😍

They are like mother and daughter but Mom is more Rock

You take the cutest women on earth, multiple it by 100 and you´d still wouldn´t reach the cuteness of Lauren Mayberry.

It would be refreshing to have two women musicians on talking about their music, things they like to do, what inspires them, etc…basically the things a male musician would get asked about and talk about. Instead, they’re asked how difficult is it to be a woman and how they deal with misogyny. And you know what that does? It immediately puts them in a vulnerable space where they have to talk about being a victim. It shows them as being “less than”. The guys asking this like to pretend to be allies, but they’re not. Rather than first and foremost seeing them as musicians, they see their gender, which they deem inferior. How do I know this? Because I’m a guy and if I had these two sitting next to me I would be in awe. I’d want to know about their music, how they got to where they are, what it’s like being so talented, what they want to do next - how they’ve accomplished all these things I never have. My first thought would never be “it must be so hard being a fragile woman.” Only a sexist thinks like that. I blame the interviewers but I also blame the interviewees - they can shut down a line of questioning. They can say “why are you asking me about this? I’m doing just fine. How about we talk about the music?” Or they could turn it around and ask, “what’s it like going through life with such a small penis?” Instead, they go along with it and every interview is the same. (I just came from the Aussie interview of Lauren and it was the same damn thing…I could only watch 5 minutes of that as well.) I hope these women and minorities wake up to the bullshit. Those that look at you and see a victim are not your friends. P.S. I’m not saying the interviewer is an awful guy. It’s possible he was told to ask these things. But it’s so tiresome.

cats, puppies, bunnies, etc. are the best things about the internet

I agree with them, I think it doesn't matter if you are a woman or a man, if you have a talent for singing no one will stop you.

Thanks Shirley I loved Dream Wife and Deep Vally!!!

Lauren ❤... Is so intelligent

I love to see women perform.

Great to see/hear from two ladies who span decades of good to great music yet still have more to offer us fans. 💯 And Shirley is giving me major hair envy is there a jealousy emoji? Lol

I'm at 7:45 and I could write a thesis about what I've heard so far.

Sound guy needs to bump up the master volume some. Otherwise, lovely to hear from these ladies.

I need this host’s stylist now!!!

Lauren is too cute

Ela tem que vir pro Brasil

Lauren is so cute i am your big fan❤️❤️❤️

Art is ageless

bringing back bangs

Was daydreaming about bands that inspire me, and garbage came up. Then the dea like, who would be the counterpart in the 90s. Rmb thinking, well surely not Courtney Love, nothing personal cause I won't be personal about someone I only know from media... But Gwen Stefani in her own way, taking the cheerleader role to make fun of the obvious sexism. Then thought, who would be the counterpart today? And thought, well ppl would say cause they're both Scottish, but obviously Lauren Mayberry, and thought "not to put words in someone's mouth, but i felt sure she must have grewn up with Garbage as well from our early Millenial group or whatever... So I search for both names and lo and behold, all I thought more or less boiled down in an interview! Fking awesome! (Also I'm ridiculously stoned if it sounds like I'm speaking with myself, so yeah...."

I can't take my eyes from Lauren

Journalists were telling Shirley she was old at 30?! I literally thought she was in her early 20’s during Garbage’s first two albums for the longest time when she was that age!

Wow I'm going on music talk....rock woman plus band power.....moment in time thx tube

Lovely

🎉 with ⛪. 😎

Shes so cute

Hermosa Lauren Mayberry 😍😍

"Women are not told that it is valid to be an artist" What the hell are you talking about, Lauren.

- Lauren - is a beuatiful Women! ❤

I was waiting for one of them to just yell out..FREEDOM! BRAVEHEART

Lauren Mayberry don't aging

Everyone in that room is 1% of seperation from Butch Vig. and for that they should all be thanking god they were able to get so close to his greatness that is BUTCH VIG!!!

Did he just say from garbage?

Is anyone realising she looks like finn wolfhard when they younger age

I've been hearing a lot of things about how all successful songs are written by men even when women perform them but at the end of the day might it not be the case that males are just better songwriters. I mean both these women are singers in bands and are backed up by male songwriters.

Lauren mayberry Is pretty

😍

Some of the best musicians of all time have been women, Eurythmics, Tina Turner, Cher, Fleetwood Mac, etc

Lauren’s accent is not nearly as thick as Shirley’s

Both Scottish but Shirley has a stronger accent than Lauren

Scotland produce the best singers

why are their accents so different?

Yo what fucking sound guy did such an awful job here? Lauren is nearly silent in this god damn mix. SXSW rakes in millions but they can't be bothered to hire competent people.

Lauren could sing all of his music on deathmetal and would still sound great and with better atmosphere for the lyrics btw I'm not a fan of death metal.

feminism elite going on right there!

You don’t give record deals or tour deals based on the sex and skin color of the artist. That’s ridiculous! How about just seeking out talent?

Shirley's shoulders are covered while Lauren's are not Was Shirley cold or was Lauren hot on that day?

We all need to fill the empty space between our ears with something, why make it garbage? People will good lives still find something to cry about. Horrible.

The one question that matters is obviously not adressed: And why are there fewer women in the music industry? Is it maybe because men are more outgoing? Maybe men have inflated egos where women have a lack of confidence? Is it a surprise why nobody ever sais anything, of substance, that physically stops women from persuing becoming an artist, or producer...

Shirley Manson looks like a rooster here.

Subtitles please. Thank you.

2:20 "the women's narrative has been eradicated...women's contribution to music has always been seen as a lesser contribution than that of our male counterpart" source? Women's narrative/contribution has been eradicated?!?! You are a world famous female fronted band, aren't you?!

This video is 86% Shirley Manson and the scraps, Lauren. Shame.

Love your music Lauren but I’m sorry I don’t agree that women are any less encouraged to go into the music industry than men. I’m sure that there may be individuals within the music industry who are misogynist, but I simply can’t believe it is systematic. More women need to choose to play alternative music, if it’s good people will listen. Just look at Marmozets, great band, no one cares that the singer is a woman. I see a lot of smaller bands and there is just fewer women in alternative bands, period. That’s not sexist, that’s women not choosing to be in bands.

Lauren seems eternally angry

Pro tip for gaining success as a female (or any gender, for that matter) recording artist: be in a band that sounds more like Garbage, and less like Chvrches.

Lauren Mayberry, is muy wife.. Oh yea...

Neither of these women know what they're talking about, unfortunately.

The reason there's less female bands is probably because...there's less female bands. The reason some aren't as good?...it's probably because... they're not as good. I mean what you want us to do? This isn't an equality thing, I can apply this to anything, why aren't there more white rappers? Why are there no hamsters on Cesar Milan's dog whisperer? Why aren't there circle shapes in Tetris? You shapist bastards. Please raise awareness for circles.

I hate it when "fenenists" assume anything men do with or say to women is about sex and just assume we are attracted to them. It's nice to see two women making valid points that women shouldn't be less valued and less respected, and should be treated equally

Shirley doesn't have quite the intellectual heft that Laren has.

Yuck feminism! Good bands though, but yuck!

The redhead tries to steal the show. A bit of veiled condescension in there and not at smart as Laure. A bit annoying actualy.

IDGAF about feminism. "It's a man's world" --James Brown

Wow, Scottish women age really well, can't same the same for Americans…
