Show notes

Shawna Potter of War On Women takes a moment to speak to me about her first grunge rock band, Fair Verona and how being in a band that does well, doesn't mean your next project will always be as successful. She shares how War On Women dressed up as a bachelorette party on stage for a sold out Halloween show at The Fest in 2015 and it was one of the best shows of all time. Although the first time they played Fest....was a bit of an adventure.

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Arius, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this, Holzfeuer, founder and vocalist of the greatest band of all time, ArnoCorps tells the stories of high adventure of their Austrian homeland for our season one finale. From the first American appearance at 924 Gilman St. in Berkeley, CA that illustrated the importance of building hype around your band and your shows. Having Flex Magazine do a story on the band before the first show. Holzfeuer makes a show changing suggestion for 3 Gigs and the quest to understand heroic archetypes. With the election of Austrian born actor and body builder Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California, and ArnoCorps breaking into mainstream news, but did this lead to being banned from the city of Sacramento? However, rising above this…the best show ever happened just this summer in London, England…on their latest tour to support their brand new E.P.
