EP 135: Dave Macklovitch (Chromeo) Aug 10, 2021

Show notes

Andy invites members of the band to grade our thick skinned bass player, Floyd Kellogg! Listen in as they air their grievances publicly, and ask the question: is Floyd a man, or a trash can for the band (as in, a literal trash can... for trash)? And on the Interview Hour we welcome the FUNKY Dave Macklovitch from Chromeo! Helluva interview. Don't skip this one. A song from Shawn. And to close us out: a word from our friends of Floydfest! This is EP 135 and it's about FLOYD

EP 133: Jerry Harrison, Adrian Belew (Talking Heads) & Dave Brandwein Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

Andy opens the show from the quietude of post-tour life in the fashion he knows best: by disregarding sage advice from his manager! Clandestinely, he premieres a brand new song off the upcoming album, and in my humble opinion: it RULES. On the Interview Hour we have an absolute legendary conversation with members of Talking Heads, King Crimson, and Turquaz: Jerry Harrison, Adrian Belew & Dave Brandwein! Do not miss this convo. Nick Gerlach puts out a call for local talent. This is EP 133.

Andy is on location at Peach Fest in Scranton, PA! Between interviewing fans, he and the boys played a little rock & roll show. But what's this?! We got Nikki Glaspie on the Interview Hour! Andy picks her brain about Berklee, learns the difference between LA & NYC, and hears an insane story from when Nikki played in Beyoncé's band. Don't change that chanel, cuz we got Brandon "Taz" Niederauer as guest co-host to close the week out. This is EP 131
