Rancid with Courtney Denison

Tonight's Musical Guest, Today

We got hella mohawks and ska hats at the ready for this one. It's RANCID week!
Joining the show to break down all things bay area punk is the lead singer and guitarist of Boston-area band Bad Idea USA Courtney Denison! Courtney describes her own scene journey in Portsmouth, NH before diving into the long-time career and various side projects of Rancid. We discuss a killer national TV debut performance on SNL in 1995, some exciting left turn albums, and a Skinhead Rob-filled clip on Conan in 2003. Plus a deep dive into Brody Dalle and Tim Armstrong's relationship, featuring a 2004 performance by The Distillers on Conan.
