Episode 112: Mia Zapata and the Snivelling Little Rat Faced Gits

Today we present to you a murder mystery solved after a decade by modern technology, but oh so much more, it’s a story of punk rock anarchists, the birth of the Seattle Grunge movement, Riot Grrrls, squatters, freaks and revolutionaries. It is also a terribly tragic tale of an amazing talent cut down before her prime, but it is also a story of hope, music and love. It is the story of Mia Zapata and the Sniveling Little Rat Faced Gits!   MURDER COASTER PODCAST Hosted by Christa Carmen and Matthew Brockmeyer Website: www.murdercoasterpodcast.com Facebook: Murder Coaster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/murdercoasterpodcast/   Creepy Amusement Park theme by Brandon Fiechter and Derek Fiechter, used by permission and with many thanks.   Find everything Gits on their website: The Gits   REFERENCES:   Los Angeles Times Jan. 31, 2025 by Stephanie Mendez Mia Zapata of The Gits is still influential 30 years after her death - Los Angeles Times   Mia Zapata and The Gits: A Story of Art, Rock, and Revolution by Steve Moriarity.
