The Local Show: Women's History Month Edition
March 15, 2015
March is Women's History Month, and on this special edition of the Local Show host Andrea Swensson takes a look back on 100 years of influential women in Minnesota music, from the Andrews Sisters to Polica.
Highlights include a rare 7" from the Rhythm Ranch Gals, Minneapolis's first all-female country band; one of the state's first garage rock bands from 1963; and a tour through some of the best funk, soul, punk, and grunge music performed by women from Minnesota.
In the second hour, Andrea shares her exclusive interview with Babes in Toyland, who are reuniting to play a hometown show on June 21 at Rock the Garden. See the full transcript of that interview here.
