TEAMING UP WITH AESOP ROCK >>>
Kimya Dawson is (and has been) an icon in the Olympia music scene since the mid-1990s. Although Dawson has come and gone, she has now been back in Olympia for about five years and says she's here to stay. The folk singer, who gained notoriety with the Moldy Peaches and the Juno soundtrack, and who releases music on K records, recently began a new journey into the hip-hop world, teaming up with former Def Jux (RIP) recording artist and indie hip-hop superstar Aesop Rock. The two artists are in the middle of a tour together and are having no problem filling venues with a mix of hippies and hip-hoppers, which Dawson admits is a good sampling of people.
I spoke with Dawson this past weekend to find out more about her current tour, the upcoming release with Aesop Rock and anything else hip-hop.
"I was told Aesop wanted to tour with me about four years ago but there really wasn't any way I could because my daughter was just born and I didn't really know who he was at the time," says Dawson.
