Shannon Shaw of Shannon and the Clams didn't start playing bass and writing songs until she was 25. It's hard to believe listening to her songs today, but she was raised in a Jack Mormon household with limiting beliefs about what women and girls could and couldn't do that shaped her way of thinking early on. One night, feeling alone and desperate, a song came to her out of thin air. She picked up a bass, and her musical career started almost immediately after that. After her story, Shannon talks to Chelsea about her upcoming album The Year of the Spider and the growth she experienced in the last year. Shannon gave a shoutout to NAACPPDX, Punks with Lunch, Stroll PDX, and Basic Rights Oregon.

LG of the band Thelma and the Sleaze brings us all the way back to her early adolescence in Kankakee Illinois. Surviving a childhood marked by head lice, fights, all kinds of trouble making and being the stinky kid in school LG is pulled more and more toward her own desire to play rock music especially when she hears songs by female fronted bands like Belly and the Cranberries. She also knows right away that she doesn't want to play with any boys. A run-in with some missionaries grants her some guitar lessons and the unusual experience of becoming accidentally Mormon, and the rest is history. Listen to LG's podcast The Queen of S--- Mountain.
