Voting is underway for WXPN’s 2023 Fall Countdown: the 885 Greatest Songs By Women (As chosen by YOU). Witnessing aspects of your identity represented on stage can be a transformative experience. Today, Gladie’s Augusta Koch shares the story of how Lemuria and their song “Pants” sparked her path towards pursuing music
“Lemuria was one of the first bands that I saw with a woman in it that I was like, ‘Oh my god, I want to do what she’s doing.’ I think I was still in high school at the time when I first saw them, and it completely changed my life. I was lucky enough to become friends with Sheena from Lemuria but they will always be one of my favorite bands, and the song ‘Pants’ is definitely one of my top favorite songs.”
