Gossip - Beth Ditto

LSQ

There is no other artist quite like Beth Ditto, the brilliant singer, songwriter, actor, clothing and cosmetics designer, and frontwoman for the legendary indie band Gossip. Her voice is singular and her energy is magical. In episode 104, Ditto talks about the making of Gossip's exciting new album, Real Power, as well as her early experiences with music -- worshiping Cyndi Lauper and singing along with Skid Row during her childhood in Searcy, Arkansas, finding community in Olympia, Washington's riot grrrl scene in the late 90s and receiving crucial guidance from Sleater-Kinney back when Gossip was first starting, among other key moments.
