Bitch and The Exciting Conclusion

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010

Bitch is a songwriter with an unusual sense of instrumental texture. With violin, ukulele, electric bass, percussion, and more—plus her striking voice—she puts her lyrics and narratives in settings that wake up listeners’ ears to her sounds and stories. Like many singer-songwriters, she sings of her experiences and feelings, but she also makes her feminism, lesbianism, and politics part of her songs. Bitch and her band The Exciting Conclusion join host David Garland to talk about her music, and to perform in the WNYC Studio.
