Incredibly fun to talk with @sleater_kinney on their album release day for Little Rope. We talked album details, dogs, and had a wild interruption. Thanks @Corintucker @carrie_rachel & @musicmillennium ✨💜 🎥 @zich_please Poster by @hayleycassatt Hosted by @michellekicherer Ps. Autocorrect jumped in with some caption typos per usual. Please forgive & forget. —— #bananapitch #sleaterkinney #musicmillennium #musicrec #music #interview #dogs #bananapitchshow

We kinda can’t believe we get to laugh along to a hilarious set by @itsrachellecochran AND listen to @newconstellationsmusic both in the same night. Funny story — one of the bananas over who used to do standup herself played @newconstellationsmusic ’s ‘Hot Blooded’ over and over like an anthem during a very sapphic period a couple years ago. We have the salts ready in case she starts to swoon. July 8th is gonna be hawt 🥵 #pdxcomedy #pdxmusic #pdxpride #showbarpdx #bananapitch #newconstellations #rachellecochran #pdxvarietyshow

Sponsor Spotlight 1/3 | @baumanscider Banana Pitch stays fruity thanks to our generous sponsors. They literally, ahem, keep the lights on. Thanks to @baumanscider we have been able to pay for professional audio and video recording, provide each performer with a small stipend, pay our headliners, and even get a lil marketing support these past few months. A little goes a LONG way for our small but mighty show and we’re grateful every day that we have the opportunity to platform and nurture regional talent. 🥲 Ok, that’s enough sentimentality for now. Thank you for everything @baumanscider 👏 Banana out! • Interested in becoming a sponsor?
