Matt Dresdner and Andy Kessler from the Gits are here to discuss the 2025 Sub Pop reissue of their excellent 1992 debut album, Frenching the Bully, moving to Seattle in 1989 before Nirvana broke, youthful record store hangouts, rock god encounters, CBGBs shows, and seeing Descendents, why Andy initially despised Matt, recalling their late bandmate Mia Zapata, where the Gits might’ve taken their music, if they see their influence in younger musicians, whether there’re more stories to tell about the Gits, a Bob Dylan tangent, this weekend’s Gits celebrations, future plans, and much more.
