Olympia is the birthplace of Riot Grrrl, where Bikini Kill and Bratmobile first forged feminist punk in the basements around Evergreen State College. That DIY ethos still pulses through K Records and KAOS community radio, fueling punk and indie rock shows at the Capitol Theater and The Northern. Today the scene spans psychedelic country, folk, and grunge, with all-ages spaces and zine culture keeping the spirit raw and accessible.
