The Lucid Furs

We brought back one of our favorite bands for season 2, The Lucid Furs. We caught up with Karen, Gordie, Nick, and Dan on the road supporting their new album Damn! That Was Easy available on Argonauta Records. This new album retains the band’s signature psychedelic hard rock with a touch of the blues. However, they take this a step further with a couple of tunes dipping into the funk zone. Overall it makes for a very enjoyable record that is delicious and addictive.
During our chat we learned what the Lucid Furs enjoy most while on the road, the recording process for Damn! That Was Easy, and other assorted odds and sods. Since we know their pizza preference, we switched things up with dreaded question number 2, nuts or no nuts in brownies.

Nagazi

A chat with Joe, Nakkim, and Andy from Nagazi along with fans Erica, Dustin, and Mary. Nagazi are on the cusp of releasing their latest EP called March of the Serpents which is out on December 3rd. The new album is the next level of heaviness from a band that has already made their mark by creating bashing riffs with tons of groove.
We started off talking about the name of the band. A quick lookup on Google and Wikipedia shows that Nagazi is the name given by Georgian people (as in near Russia) for their shepherd dogs. Apparently a friend of the band suggested the name. Once the right line-up was established, the band used the name. Nagazi captures the intensity of the band and their music very well. 
We also spent some time talking about the recording of March of the Serpents and new band members (Nakkim - bass, Andy - guitars). The new album was recorded with Scott Bush (Cinder) in his studio in Tennessee. Evidently Scott has some great stories about David Lee Roth. Sounds like we need to get Cinder on the show.
We continued to talk about some of our favorite topics such as first albums and first concerts. As usual, we wrapped up with the dreaded debate regarding pizza and pineapple.

Drink Their Blood

A chat with  Ben, Jeff, Andrew, and Todd from Drink Their Blood along with fans Brandon, Hannah, Bonnie, and Jacob. Drink Their Blood is very hard to quantify. They mix death metal, progressive metal, and jazz into a very intriguing mixture all their own. Their shows are a blast of sonic energy guaranteed to captivate.
Our chat delved into how the band got started and introductions of new members Todd (guitar) and Andrew (drums). The new lineup builds off an excellent foundation. Now that shows are back, Drink Their Blood off and running. There is also talk of recording new music in the not too distant future.
We had a blast talking about the music everyone is getting into these days, first albums, and pre-show rituals. As usual, we wrapped up with the dreaded debate regarding pizza and pineapple.

Electric Huldra

A chat with Bobby, Dominic, and Troy from Electric Huldra along with fans Adam, Johnny, Anthony, Nick, and Audrey. As well as a brief hello from the guys in Slumlord Radio. Electric Huldra are a hard hitting rock band that channels a bit of the 70’s and stoner rock vibes while making the genre their own. I first heard them at Fuzz Fest where I became an instant fan.
Our chat delved into how the band got started and in particular how Troy started playing the bass through his guitar. The band is working on new music with Adam Wilkinson handling the mix. They plan to release the new music on cassette as well as digitally.
We talked a bit about the thriving local rock music scene and some of the awesome people within that scene. While the scene that Gene Simmons may have known with mega rock bands is gone, there is still plenty of great music. Our conversation wandered into influences, first albums and concerts. As usual, we wrapped up with the dreaded debate regarding pizza and pineapple.

EPCYA

A chat with Aaron, Julio, Jonathan, and Dustin from Epcya along with Tom from Slumlord Radio. Epcya hails from Grand Rapids. Their music touches on many genres including ska, punk, funk, progressive, and metal. It is an eclectic mix and we talked on where that mix originates. Epcya also blends lyrics in Spanish and English. We chatted about what influences a particular song to be in Spanish or English.
Our conversation with Epcya touched on a few songs from their album Metamorphosis. In particular the song “Hongos / Super A”. The story behind this one is fantastic. As usual, we wrapped up with the dreaded debate about pizza and pineapple.

Cavalcade

A chat with Cale, Brad, and Sean from Cavalcade along with fans Jacob, Ben, and Chuck. Cavalcade is one of the unique heavy bands that I’ve had the pleasure of listening to and seeing live. Their sound embraces some many wonderful aspects of the term “heavy”. We talked a bit about how Cavalcade came up with their sound. This led to a bit of quantum entanglement as myself and Sean crossed paths a few times in our earlier lives in the Michigan Metal scene. 
Our chat with Cavalcade also took a turn into musical gadgets employed by bassist Craig Horkey. Finally, we hit upon favorite subjects such as first albums and concerts. As usual, we wrapped up with the dreaded debate about pizza and pineapple.

Distilled Tongues

A chat with Sean, Mike, and Jeremy of Distilled Tongues as well as fans Zac and Chris. Their new debut EP is a fantastic barrage of powerful rock riffs. Our chat included the story of how Sean and Mike transitioned from a folk band into the super groove rock that they play today. Mike was stretching his wings from the tremendous thrash riffs of his other band Pick Axe Preacher. Jeremy (who also plays in Cosmic Sands) saw that Sean and Mike were looking for a drummer and it was a done deal. 
Our talk with Distilled Tongues also included a bit about the recording process which was completely do it yourself. A testament to the band’s skill in self-producing from their home studio. We wrapped up with our favorite topics of first albums, concerts, and the crucial question of pineapple on pizza.
