CALIFORNIA-BOUND Kinsey Johnson plays guitar for the Maine-based band Random Ideas during a performance at the WMPG studio.

Sometimes in Maine, it’s hard for a group of 17-year-old female punk rockers to be taken seriously. At least, that’s the mutually shared opinion of Kinsey, Lexi and Meagan Johnson, triplets who are making the transition out of high-school and headfirst into a lifestyle (and hopeful career) dedicated to recording and performing music. Together, they form the four-year-old alternative-punk-rock band, Random Ideas, and have been carving a name for themselves in a community, they feel, can be quick to judge.
