Ep. 24 | KPC Underground Podcast w/ Lizzy and the Triggermen

Aaron sits down with Lizzy Shapiro of Lizzy and the Triggermen before their 2024 KPC show to chat music, acting, identity, and combining old and new forms of creativity to experience the sublime. Get tickets to Lizzy and the Triggermen LIVE at Kirkland Performance Center on April 30, 2026: https://www.kpcenter.org/event/lizzy-the-triggermen-2026/About Lizzy and the Triggermen:LA-based big band, Lizzy & the Triggermen, transport you back to the glamour of the Prohibition Era, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new. As NPR raves, they are “one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, on part Amy Winehouse.” Their show is a “joyously subversive” (Broadway World) mixture of vintage swing and biting originals that highlight Lizzy’s wicked sense of humor (which she previously used to create Emmy-nominated TV shows). Like the great tunes of the ’30s which so inspire them, their music boldly tackles our modern troubles and turns them into killer dance songs that fill you with joy the way only a wailing horn section can. https://www.lizzyandthetriggermen.comhttps://www.kpcenter.org/
