GRRL026: Femme punk, misconceptions, and song inspiration, with the Fresh Brunettes

Author: June Owatari May 3, 2017 Duration: 0:00
This episode of Grrl on Grrl features Aleisha and Alexis of San Diego "femme punk" band The Fresh Brunettes. Their bassist Paul was also in the room, but didn't say much, as bassists are wont to do, and Fresh Brunettes' dog mascot Cosmo also graced us with his presence. Besides the amazing songs from Lisa Prank, Soft Lions, the Candelights, you'll hear Alexis and Aleisha talk about preconceived notions of what a guitarist or drummer should look like, some inspiration for their songs, and what they appreciate when interacting with their audience.

Hosted by June Owatari, Grrl on Grrl sits at the vibrant crossroads of music, identity, and community. This isn't just another interview format; it's a space built on intersectional and trans-inclusive feminist principles, where the conversation flows as freely as the songs. Each episode features a musician from any genre you can imagine, turning the spotlight not only on their art but on the unique experiences that shape it. You'll hear about the songwriting process, the realities of the industry, and the personal stories that rarely make it into a standard press bio. The heart of the podcast, though, might be in the curated playlists. Every guest brings their own soundtrack, sharing the tunes that move them, which means every episode is packed with both profound insight and a fantastic, personally-selected soundtrack. It’s about pulling back the curtain on creativity while celebrating the diverse voices within music communities. Tune in for genuine dialogue, a deeper understanding of the artists behind the work, and a consistently refreshing mix of tracks you might not have found on your own.
