Tony Muggs - Autobiograffitti

In this episode, we talk with Tony Muggs (from The Muggs and Dude) about his new book called AUTOBIOGRAFFITT. This is Tony’s first book and as the name implies, it is his story. If you aren’t familiar, Tony overcame a massive stroke which impaired his left side forcing him to relearn everything and learn to play bass on Fender Rhodes keyboard. His is a true story of inspiration. Tony’s book is out now on Amazon. You can also get a copy and hear readings from the book on December 20th at the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit. Check out the links below to get your copy of AUTOBIOGRAFFITTI as well and the music from Tony’s bands.

Convulsis

In this episode, we talk with Jimmy, Adam, Bubba, Garret, and Davy from Convulsis. I’m so very thankful to Jimmy for hooking me up with the debut EP from Convulsis called An Evil Born From the Void. This band plays intense thrash metal full of hammering rhythms and riffs galore. It was a ton of fun to talk with these guys about their origin and their plans for new music. Best of all, we had a great chat about movies which could have spawned its own series of episodes. If you are near Flint on December 3rd, you can catch Convulsis live at Parts and Labor. Otherwise, check out the links below to stay in touch with the band and get your copy of their music.

Black Temple

In this episode we talk with Erik from Black Temple. I met Erik at the Maryland Deathfest and it turns out we have friends in common (the Centenary crew for one). Erik mentioned his band Black Temple and after listening to their monstrous music laden with blackened death, I figured it would be fun to talk about the band and the music. We chatted about how Black Temple went from a recording project to a live gigging band. Their current release called Altar of Rotting Flesh is out now and they have a new album in the works called Aura of Fire.
As usual we hit the favorites such as first albums, first concerts, and the infamous and controversial subject; pizza toppings.
