Our guest is Steve Moriarty, former drummer of the band The Gits and author of the new book Mia Zapata and The Gits: A Story of Art, Rock, and Revolution.

The Gits, led by their charismatic frontwoman Mia Zapata, formed in Ohio before joining the burgeoning Seattle music scene of the early 90s. They were on the brink of international stardom when, on July 7, 1993, just days before their third US tour, Mia was brutally murdered. Her death came as a shock to the Seattle music scene and eventually became a national story. It would be a decade before her killer was arrested. During that time, the focus of Mia’s story shifted further and further away from her talents and the music she created with The Gits. In this book, Steve Moriarty is determined to shift the focus from Mia's tragic end back to the art she and The Gits created, recounting their journey from their first meeting at Antioch College in 1985 to their rise in the Seattle music scene. Steve narrates the band’s struggles, their inspirations, and the camaraderie that fueled their music, as well as the band's tours and performances alongside iconic acts like Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Joan Jett.
