67. Mike Dean (Corrosion of Conformity) Feb 18, 2018

Show notes

My guest this week is Mike Dean, bass player for the mighty Corrosion of Conformity. I got to chat with Mike during some down time while he was on the road with Black Label Society. We talk about how the band got to play some headlining shows in light of BLS canceling some shows, including a stop here in Grand Rapids. How it was to come up with a headline set on such short notice, and the reception to the new album "No Cross, No Crown" and playing as a 3 pc and now as a 4 pc with Pepper back in the fold. We also discuss the recent news of Slayer and Skynyrd planning their farewell tours, and when COC could be calling it a day.

66. Sheel Davè (Bad Rabbits/Irepress) Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

My guest is Sheel Davè, drummer for Bad Rabbits. This chat was a long time coming, and was interesting in the sense that I didn't really ask Sheel many questions, just let him tell me what has been going on with BR over the last few years. Sheel reveals why the band has been on a bit of a hiatus, as well as taking about why the band has chosen to go back to being an independent band. How the band was ahead of a trend that is now gaining popularity for mainstream artists like Bruno Mars, and how label people laughed at their music. We find how much of what Sheel's been able to do within the Bad Rabbits world comes from his time in his other band, Irepress, and how everything has ties to that...including how Sheel and I first met over 10 years ago. Sheel shares what the band has in store for fans in 2018, starting with their new Rihanna cover song out just in time for Valentines Day, Love on the Brain.
