In an interview by More Than The Music, Her Name Is Calla’s Sophie Green answers a handful of questions about gender and music. As always, she beguiles. Some highlights:
—
There are few things more awkward than when a stranger shakes hands with everyone in the band except me…
…in pop music, I hate when every female singer has to be pitted against each other…
…I think a lot of people outside of the band assume there’s some constant awareness that I’m a girl, when the complete opposite is true – you become quite sexless when you’re on the road for weeks…
…we need to become more comfortable with the idea that gender isn’t a choice…

It’s a compelling read throughout, so please, take it all in at More Than The Music. As for Her Name Is Calla, they remain one of the most electrifying, courageous, and engaging bands in the world.
