The Gits guitarist Andy Kessler and bassist Matt Dresner talk about the band’s story, legacy, and the life of Mia Zapata.
The Gits were an early '90s Seattle band. Seattle’s Sub Pop Records has recently launched a campaign to re-release remastered versions of The Gits’ catalogue. So much of the band’s story has been wrapped around the 1993 rape and murder of The Gits frontwoman Mia Zapata. In a conversation at KEXP’s Gathering Space, Emily Fox speaks with The Gits guitarist Andy Kessler and bassist, Matt Dresner about the band’s story, legacy and the life of Mia.
