Jul 292010

Women have become part of every aspect of the geek scene and music is no exception. For the third installment of our Women in Geekdom month we talk with three geek musicians working in three different genres. We have interviews with j-pop singer Rai Kamishiro, folk rocker Marian Call and nerdcore hip-hop MC Nursehella and we’ll be playing some samples of their music!

As usual, we also have a roundup of Seattle area geek events, the weekly geek news and Shannon reviews another bad movie.
