RAB Radio #31: Punk Rock Jail Bait [FRIGHTWIG INTERVIEW]
I for one am still flying high from all of the amazing performances and readings at THIS evening of global solidarity on Wednesday. Kudos to everyone who came out. Ash and I met some radical new friends, such as the insanely wonderful Cara Vida, and are totally inspired by all the fine folks merging art and politics in our lovely city.
On that note, I’ve just posted the podcast for the latest edition of Ribbon Around a Bomb, which features an interview with Mia and Deanna of Frightwig, and a shit load of amazing songs ALL by female-fronted San Francisco Bay Area punk acts. In the interview, expect to hear personal politics, obscure punk references, awesome old stories, and HILARIOUS shit-talk on Courtney Love. With Throbbing Gristle in the background for good measure. BE WARNED: It’s kind of echo-y. The interview took place in my kitchen, so… DEAL WITH IT. Download or stream it here.

By the way, if you missed the Pussy Riot benefit in SF, you can still enjoy it postliminarily (pretty sure that’s not a word) via the wonders of technology. Take a peak at the Frightwig performance below:
To be sure, a review of Pussy Riot!: A Punk Prayer for Freedom is coming soon. Have a subversive weekend, everyone.
