Babes Against the Machine

Written on .

I’m excited to share my latest conversation with Carrie Rapaport and Khadejhia Kassenbrock of Babes Against the Machine, the world’s only all-female tribute to Rage Against the Machine.

I recently caught the band live at Charleston’s Music Farm and walked away completely blown away by the musicianship, energy, and intensity of the performance. 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’s catalog, the power of live music, and why these songs continue to resonate more than 30 years after they were written.

Whether you’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’t want to miss.

In this episode:

  • The origins of Babes Against the Machine
  • Carrie Rapaport and Khadejhia Kassenbrock’s musical journeys
  • The responsibility of performing Rage Against the Machine’s music
  • The band’s first Charleston performance at the Music Farm
  • Why live music continues to create connection and community

Thanks for listening, and as always, keep seeking out great music.
