Caroline Rose May 21, 2020

Show notes

Not only is genre-spanning musician Caroline Rose a singer-songwriter, but she's also a producer, AND she also has a degree in Architecture. Pre-quarantine, she was making her TV debut on Late Night with Seth Myers and she was coming up with hilarious promotional ideas like buying a vague billboard in the middle of nowhere, confusing a small town in Texas. Caroline was also getting ready to tour on her newest release, a cinematic pop album called Superstar. She headed to Vermont to be near her band and team during the pandemic, and from there she's chatting with LG on this free-wheeling interview that includes a wild story about Caroline breaking into a sugar factory.

Thrilled to present this week's guest...drummer from Babes in Toyland Lori Barbero! LG chats over the phone with Lori, who is hunkered down in Minneapolis during the quarantine. Lori talks about her time in the band, the business end of things, going on tour, playing huge festivals, and her enormous, recently-unearthed collection of photos (7 plastic tubs worth) from her touring days, and more. Lori also shares some hard truths about music ownership and why the band didn't continue even after two former Google employees helped jumpstart their successful reunion.

Patty Schemel May 06, 2020

Show notes

QOSM's first quarantine episode is a big one - this episode features drummer extraordinaire Patty Schemel! Patty talks to host LG over the phone about her woodworking class that she teaches to young kids (and how they mostly have no idea she was the drummer for the band Hole), the difference between playing in a band in the 90s versus today, music Scenes, touring, and so much more. It's a freewheeling and loose interview that has a lot of laughs - and there's another edition of the new segment Tour Stories!
