That experience led to a conversation about far more than a tribute band. We talked about their musical beginnings, the responsibility of performing Rage Against the Machine&#8217;s catalog, the power of live music, and why these songs continue to resonate more than 30 years after they were written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Whether you&#8217;re a longtime Rage fan, curious about the art of tribute bands, or simply love hearing musicians share their stories, this is a conversation you won&#8217;t want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In this episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">The origins of Babes Against the Machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Carrie Rapaport and Khadejhia Kassenbrock&#8217;s musical journeys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">The responsibility of performing Rage Against the Machine&#8217;s music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">The band&#8217;s first Charleston performance at the Music Farm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Why live music continues to create connection and community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Thanks for listening, and as always, keep seeking out great music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Babes Against the Machine Link Up: <a href=\"https:\/\/babesagainstthemachinetribute.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCiCIoCN8qXDlnBM4laDsLhA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Youtube<\/a> |&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/babesagainstthemachinetribute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/babesagainstthemachinetribute\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_194\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-6680-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/discoteepee\/www.discoteepee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/babes.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/discoteepee\/www.discoteepee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/babes.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/discoteepee\/www.discoteepee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/babes.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/discoteepee\/www.discoteepee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/babes.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=6680-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/discoteepee\/www.discoteepee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/babes.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"babes.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hear Carrie Rapaport and Khadejhia Kassenbrock of Babes Against the Machine discuss Rage Against the Machine, musicianship, live music, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6685,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[571,1388,1390,1491,1621,2330],"class_list":["post-6680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-disco-teepee","tag-music-blog","tag-music-blogger","tag-ohm-radio","tag-radio-show","tag-windjammer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6680\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoteepee.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
