Episode description

The Raincoats emerged from the London punk scene in the late ’70s and were one of the very first all-female bands who wrote and performed all their own music. Now, 40 years later, co-founding member Gina Birch has just released her first solo album, titled 'I Play My Bass Loud.'

KEXP’s Janice Headley talks with Gina about the new release, her time with The Raincoats, and how Kurt Cobain got a copy of The Raincoats' first LP.
