Is there anyone cooler than Kim Gordon? The founding member of the seminal band Sonic Youth is also a talented musician, artist, writer, and role model to a generation of women. Now she’s written a memoir recounting her life as a musician and artist. "Girl in a Band" takes us back to the post-punk scene of New York in the 1980s and '90s, when Sonic Youth helped create a musical revolution. She is joined in conversation by CHF’s associate artistic director and former WBEZ 91.5 host Alison Cuddy.
