This week I have singer/designer/tattoo artist- Davey Suicide. I’ve known him for over a decade and we talk about how Davey got his start in music amongst his other passions, he’s designed clothes for me before, we haven’t caught up in a while and I figured this would be a great time to learn about Davey’s life, he has new music coming out shortly and I wanted to bring him on to talk about all things Davey Suicide.
Alexx Bean is a genre-bending artist who has been motivated by a lot of the music that helped me work out my own teen angst in the early 200os. Alexx and I discussed how the music industry has evolved over the past two decades, what inspired him to take a DIY approach to his music and how his song “Castles” came to be. I hope you enjoy his enthusiasm for what he’s working on and will check out his music!
You think you’re getting a regular R&B-tinged pop record but, oh no, my friend. You’re getting a lot more than that.
Geek Girl Riot is teaming up once again with Fantastic Forum for an episode all about the recent Marvel lawsuits and artists vs. copyright laws.
Y’all ain’t ready for the latest Geek Girl Riot…our Rioters talk about the completely warranted, guilty on all counts R. Kelly verdict, the problems with Dear Evan Hansen, and the highs and lows of Y: The Last Man.
You’ll want to listen to it again and again, even though (or maybe because) it’ll make you angry.
Fire up the time machine, we’re headed back to the 90’s in a new episode of Man Of The Hour. Last week they talked life, culture and what it was like living in the age of dial up internet. This week, they’re chatting about one of the best things the decade had to offer: Music.
Listen in as Pat and Seb reminisce on all the bands they loved (and the ones they didn’t, too.) From copy cat hairstyles to movie soundtracks, they’ll tell us how the tunes of the 90’s led to their love of music.
Tune in as Jaret and Gary fire up the mics and invite their pal Tom Higgenson to the show. As the frontman of the Plain White T’s, the drummer of TLB, and the founder of an independent record label, he’s what being a rockstar dad is all about.
When the guys catch up, they reminisce on the early days of their careers. They also discuss some of Tom’s biggest hits, sharing anecdotes and origin stories about tracks like “Hey There Delilah” and “1,2,3,4”. Later he dives into conversation about his new band TLB, his record label Humans Were Here, and more.
Along with the career success he’s seen in the past decade, Tom has entered another chapter of life—fatherhood. Listen in as he chats about his son Lennon and how he makes him a priority despite his insane work schedule.
Jess Bowen is my guest this week, she’s a studio and touring drummer who I’ve known for over a decade, and she’s even covered for me on some gigs I couldn’t do because of prior commitments! She’s been around the world and is one of the first drummers to be on my show. She’s a power house player and everyone should get to know her!
