Our TOPPODCAST Picks 


This episode's guest, Timo Ellis, is an all around musical powerhouse. He plays drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, and sings, and currently fronts the synth-metal band Netherlands. His musical bio spans an impressive and varied list of projects including Yoko Ono, Cibo Matto, Sean Lennon, Joan as Policewoman, and many more.
Guest Dawn Landes is talented multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer living in Nashville. We talk about climbing trees with Will Oldham, her touring with Sufjan Stevens, recording with Nashville A-listers, and why bow-hunters are more macho. She performs her original song "Keep on Moving."
A very special double episode with Fa Ventilato and Roman Elsener, two Swiss-born, New York-based musicians who have been close friends since their youth and have very different approaches to life and music. We spoke about micropolitics, CD scratching, pillow drumming, hand grenades, the Swiss national anthem backwardt, and much much more. The Ramen and Pho Orchestra performed Roman's original songs "President Fast Food" and "Sailing Out to Sea" (including a seventeen-piece whistle orchestra) as well as a sprinkling of other original improvs and tidbits. Strap in for this one people.
The guest on this episode of PIERRE PRESSURE PODCAST is Paul Brill, an award-winning composer, musician, songwriter and producer. We spoke in his Brooklyn studio about the possible outcomes for the midterms, shredding your way to success, serving Bernie coffee, and a whole lot more. He performed a solo acoustic version of his song "Lay Down Your Weary Head." Background audio by Envelope, Malayalam, Peanut Butter, Milkweed and Paul Brill.
Guest Mira Cook is a singer, pianist, composer, and dancer who performs regularly in NYC as a solo artist, building her songs live using vocal and instrumental loops. She also travels the world as a dancer and teacher with Battery Dance. We talked about her musical journey starting in Austin and how she fell into music by way of dance, how to stay positive in these confusing times, and upcoming album release. She performs an original tune called "Take the Easy Way Out" dedicated to her soon-to-be-born baby girl.
In this episode of PIERRE PRESSURE I tried to answer the question "Who is Jack Grace?" Is he the Country Ham, the Mariachi Cowboy, the lead singer of Van Hayride, John Pancaldo, or all of the above? We chatted about the many incarnations of Jack's career, as well as the final stages of the Monopoly game we are all living through, and we heard renditions of Jack's songs "Bad Wind Blowing" and "Being Poor."


Welcome to the first episode of PIERRE PRESSURE PODCAST, a brand new sonic, musical, political adventure.
