Episode 243: Anna Polonsky & Triple Hex Feb 07, 2016

Show notes

Tune in for a brand new episode of Snacky Tunes as Greg Bresnitz is joined in studio by guest co-host Jordana Rothman as well as Anna Polonsky, co-founder of The MP Shift. The MP Shift is a New York based concept, design and branding studio, which specializes primarily in hospitality and lifestyle. Turning clients’ ideas into lasting brands, focusing on every detail from visual identity to the floor tiles, through marketing and events, Anna explains how The MP Shift uses its network of makers and professionals to build their verbal and visual strategy and serve their inspiration, while deliberately avoiding a signature style.

Guitarist / crooner Dave Tudi founded Triple Hex in the early oughts in Brooklyn, releasing the rockabilly tinged Phantom Highway 13 EP in 2006 on Thigh High Records. The band followed up with extensive touring throughout Europe in 2007 before releasing a Stooges-esque three track 7” entitled Scratch My Back. The band went through a couple lineup changes before enlisting Miss Chip on 60s electric organ to release their self titled full length LP on Lucinda Records in Spain and Thigh High in the US. The band released another EP entitled Triple Hex E.P. in 2013 on Mon Amie Records. The band added Lyla Vander on drums in 2015 and their sound has progressed over the years to their current incarnation.

Triple Hex returns with a new full length LP called Bust For Life that will resonate with fans of Bauhaus, 70s NYC rock n roll, and Factory Records. Dave Tudi’s gloomy songwriting style juxtaposes with the carousing, carnal aesthetic a la Serge Gainsbourg or Marquis De Sade. Triple Hex invokes the gestalt of nightlife in their album, creating a gritty, glamorous experience that leaves you feeling slightly used yet wanting more.

Triple Hex’s Bust For Life will be released later this year on Death Goat Records. The first single “Dead Stars” will drop February 19th with accompanying video produced and directed by Violet Shuraka. The album was recorded and produced by Matt Verta-Ray (Heavy Trash, Madder Rose, Speedball Baby), at NYHed Studios.

Show notes

Tune in for a brand new episode of Snacky Tunes as Darin Bresnitz is in conversation with Courtney Nichols, co-founder of Disco Dining Club.

It is the intent of Disco Dining Club to take the warehouse scene out of the underground and into the dining room that asks but one thing of guests: to consume everything.

In the second half of the show, Greg Bresnitz is in studio with Miwi La Lupa. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Buffalo, NY now living in New York City, Miwi is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY and is an original member of New York bands Red Baraat, Thought, and Knights on Earth.
