Odds are that you don’t know the name Kathy Foster, but you’ve probably seen her live a few dozen times. She’s probably best known as the bassist for Portland punks The Thermals. Or as a member of the supergroup All Girl Summer Fun Band. Or any of the 8,565,233 other bands she’s been a part of. Alas, after decades of backing up other acts, she’s released her debut solo record under the alias Roseblood. We talked about her pathway to rock, with some adventures and misadventures along the way. We even touched on the time she played “Faith” and “Rebel Rebel” with Sleater-Kinney, where her band Hurry Up got their name from, and spent a LOT of time talking about how amazing Maggie Vail is.
Roseblood’s self-titled debut is out now on Bandcamp or wherever you stream music.
