The last thing Rob expected to be doing in 2024 was talking about Anaheim, California ska-punk/pop band No Doubt, but when he invited Late Slip's ringleader Chelsea Nenni on the show her record choice was crystal clear. When she first heard their breakout album 'Tragic Kingdom' as a 10 year old girl living in Southern California, the seed of one day forming and fronting a band of her own was firmly planted, and Gwen Stefani's honest takes on navigating life and love as a young girl coming of age at the end of the 20th century had a huge impact, even if she didn't quite realize it yet.

Chelsea Nenni

Musician / Late Slip

Late Slip's ringleader Chelsea Nenni was born on the East Coast but grew up in California. Elvis Presley was her first love. She studied opera in college, but Gwen Stefani gave her the guts to be in a band.

Her band Late Slip delivers a nostalgic soundscape with a little bit of twang, a little bit of surf, and a whole lotta heart. Their debut album "I Love You" is out now via Party Mermaid Records.
