Pete Schwaba hosts a lively night with Kat Rhapsody, the dynamic lead of Kat and the Hurricane, a queer and trans synth-rock indie pop band. Kat shares their journey from forming the band in 2015 to winning five Madison Area Music Awards. The trio, thriving in Madison's vibrant music scene, faces challenges performing in less welcoming areas but remains committed to being the representation they needed as kids.
With upcoming Pride shows in Sheboygan, Oshkosh, and Madison, their music is a beacon of pride and resilience. Also discussed: road buckling from heat, weird side dishes, and a no-loitering coffee shop.
