The Tacoma Files: Brittany Baab

DANIEL BLUE: MEET BRITTANY BAAB >>>

Tacomafilesbrittantbaab Brittany Baab is also known as Banana Klip, which is her name when she is rapping.   

Freshly moved here from Chicago, Brit is an easy pick in a bar full of normal conversations. Everything she has to say is interesting, and not just because it comes in a cute East Coast accent, it is interesting because she says it with power. I think her power comes from her hair; her hair is rich with complex geometry that must channel power right out of the air.   

Extremely personable, she took me to Seattle after only having lived her a few weeks and introduced me to the friends she had made the last time she visited.   We danced like club kids at the War Room and still made it home before the sun rose.   

Klip is in more than one rap group and wears a life-size golden banana around her neck when she performs.  She is also an accomplished country style singer songwriter and reminds me of a mix between Jack White and Dolly Pardon.   

There are few people in Tacoma as interesting and eclectic as our newfound Brit.
