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 Dresdner about the band’s story, legacy, and the life of Mia.
