If youre feeling bad for Nash, dont.
Its very exciting, my butt enterprise, she jokes.
“It’s very exciting, my butt enterprise,” Kate Nash jokes. “I need to get ‘Butts for Tour Buses’ on a credit card.”Alice Baxley*
I need to get a [corporate] name.
I need to get Butts for Tour Buses on a credit card.
I can tour the world.
But I cannot make a profit from those tours.
Im in the red.
What the fuck is up with that?
Ultimately, she says, the high costs of touring are a labor issue.
Its the same problem as whats happening to people at home with gas prices and everything going up.
Its the same millionaires making everything shit for everyone … Nash has a workable solution in mind for the deep inequality afflicting the music industry.

Fans do as well, Nash says.

Nash isnt the only pop artist on OnlyFans, either.
Dont hate the player, hate the game.
I think that were all quite oppressed sexually, anyway.
As a feminist, I think the point of feminism is you cant define me.
It reminds me ofthe TERF thing.
Just stop telling people what they can or cant be.
you’re able to support sex workers and fight exploitation within the sex work.
As a feminist, thats actually what youshoulddo.
Its an argument that doesnt make sense to me, and it very much doesnt make sense within feminism.
U.K. lawmakers are currently arguing for changes in the live music space, including the proposed stadium ticket levy.
Its in her hands.
Im championing her to be the hero, because we need her.
Someone asked me, What is the worst that could happen?
And my joke is, if bands cant afford to tour, venues wont stay open, Nash says.
Im sort of joking.
Wewantto watch musicians at all levels.
And theres a way to fucking fix it.
