Dead white men. It may seem strange to open a review of Lisa Rovner s Sisters With Transistors, a film about women that pushed the boundaries of music forward through electronics, talking about men, but the above is a phrase repeated during the picture that tells us why this story needed to be told. Music is haunted by the specters of Beethoven and Mozart, even Elvis and John Lennon, with the canon being built around these names that we are told deserve not just celebrating but worshipping. These old, dead white men. What Sisters With Transistors tells us is that it s time for all this to change.
