At 10:30 Mark talks with Rita Hanch and Brock Johnson of the KC based band Rude Cousin. Rude Cousin is comprised of real life cousins from Kansas City, MO. Front women Anna Redmond and Rita Hanch had been making music together way before forming Rude Cousin in 2024. As fate would have it Rita’s sister Elle Hanch plays bass, so they invited her and other cousin and guitarist Brock Johnson to join. The band was completed by local drumming sensation, Dustin Mott. Inspired by the Riot grrrl movement, rude cousin’s songs are a lil rowdy, witty and even melodic. For Rude Cousin Elle Hanch plays bass; Brock Johnson plays lead guitar; Rita Hanch is lead vocalist & guitarist; and Anna Redmond is also lead vocalist & keyboardist & guitarist; and Dustin Mott on drums. Rude Cousin play an Album Release Show, Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 7:00pm with special guest Nan & The One Nite Stands at 3807 Troost Ave. DIY Space ~ parking across the street.
