Description
Episode 67 features the return of Tobi Vail to the pod! Last time she was on we spent most of the episode covering her musical / cultural biography, growing up punk rock in western Washington.
This time around we focus primarily on her life today, making music at home and in residencies with groups like Girlsperm and Morgan and the Organ Donors when not touring the world with the newly reformed Bikini Kill.
We hear her account of the fraught and sometimes alienating reality of touring in the Covid era and also how fun and exciting it is to be out there playing to the biggest crowds of her decades long career.
Tobi also shares with us her enthusiasm for a current crop of artists and the joy she finds pursuing a lifelong course of learning and growing both as a musician and scholar of music history.
It’s a fun and inspiring conversation, and I’m happy to share it with you, dear listener.
Music:
Bikini Kill ‘Hamster Baby’ Live at Capitol Theater, Olympia 11/09/22
Girlsperm ‘What Do I Do with My Guitar’
