This week on “Live & Local,” Aaron was joined in the studio by BANGZZ, the exuberant, cathartic, feminist, hard-rocking duo of local-music stalwarts Erika Libero and Jess Caesar.

Libero and Caesar have been together for several years and they already have an EP under their belt, 2019’s “Fresh Cut” – but last month they released their first full-length album, “You Took My Body Long Ago And Now I Am Taking It Back.” They’ll be playing at Motorco Music Hall in Durham this Thursday, September 16, alongside the Gories.

Listen to BANGZZ’ appearance on Live & Local, where we debuted three tracks from the new album: “Hell Is Other People,” “Your Boyfriend Is Really Bringing You Down,” and “Love.”
