Vernon Reid - in replay Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

Today we revisit our December 2018 interview with the one and only Vernon Reid.

Reid is not only one of the most unique guitarists to emerge in the rock world, he is also one of the most thoughtful and articulate.

As the founder of the genre breaking and status qou defying band Living Colour, Reid has fearlessly blazed a trail like few others.

Reid joins us to talk about why the band's debut album Vivid (1988) is more relevant than ever, how the blues informed the band's latest release, Shade, and what it takes for a guitarist to find their own voice.

Show notes

Andrew 'Mozz' Macdonald joins us to talk about his ever expanding range of Mozztronics hand built pedals.

Andrew's pedals are finding their way on many boards around Australia including those of Tim Rogers and Davey Lane (You Am I) and Guitar Speak alumni, Bob Spencer (The Angels, Skyhooks, Rose Tattoo).

We talk about working closely with those artists, putting a unique spin on timeless circuits, exploration and experimentation and plans for the future. Matt also squeezes in a few newb pedal questions. Mind blown!

A huge shout out to Rikki Wood of The Australian Guitar Show & 44 Guitars who introduced me to the world of Mozz.

Zane Banks & Jy-Perry Banks GSP#142 Aug 16, 2020

Show notes

Dr Zane Banks and Jy-Perry Banks are two of the most electrifying young guitarists in Australia. The siblings tell of a musically rich upbringing and subsequent careers in the industry.

The brothers are equally adept in country, jazz, blues, rock and art music.

Zane attained his PhD through the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, researching the use of electric guitar in contemporary art music. He premiered Ingwe, the solo electric guitar work composed by Georges Lentz and won the ABC Limelight Newcomer of the Year in 2011.

Jy completed a Masters in Tuba performance - also at the Sydney Con - before throwing himself into pedal steel. He is now highly in demand working with Charlie Collins, Kasey Chambers, Julian Day and many others. Jy is also a Fender artist.

This was a great hang covering so much guitar goodness!
