We put the spotlight on Alison Mosshart this morning - lead vocalist of the Kills and the Dead Weather - as she turns 42 today.

Jill chatted on Zoom with Mosshart in May of this year, where she said "I really hope when all of this is over, we can go back on tour. I'm just dreaming of it."

When asked about what she misses most about being on tour, Mosshart replied, "The adrenaline, and that connection to people. It's incredibly character building, and never boring, even though it involves a lot of waiting and boring moments. Your brain [on tour] is just the best version of itself."

And it got us in the mood to hear more female-fronted rock bands this morning.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what leading ladies of rock do you want to hear?
