Listen now
Description
On July 23rd, 2023 a meeting of the minds occurred behind the Carnegie Library in downtown Olympia, WA.  Pat Maley and Mary Sharp (formerly of Oly rock duo Little Red Car Wreck) arrived with their new band Guidon Bear to warm up the grassy knoll for Anna Oxygen, who has lived in New York for almost twenty years, and Tae Won Yu + Rachel Carns, better known as Kicking Giant.  In between all the music, I spoke to the five of them about their glory days in the 90s Olympia punk scene, and got caught up on what’s been going on since. Spoiler, a lot’s been happening!  This episode was engineered, mixed and edited by Rose Nielsen, and documented by Andrew Ebright.Low Profile is supported by you on Patreon.com/lowprofile, plus in-kind support from Olympia’s Old School Pizzeria, Rainy Day Records, San Francisco Street Bakery and Three Magnets Brewing Company.
