October 06, 2016 'We disguise ourselves to protect the identities of our loved ones' - Magic Sword and hot dogs (Episode 82)
This is a weird, brief and wonderful one: I'm joined at Fatso's Last Stand by "The Keeper" from electronic band Magic Sword. Magic is a full-blown concept: The band members perform in black cloaks and masks, living out a sci-fi fantasy set to a John Carpenter-meets-Daft-Punk vibe. Things discussed with The Keeper: *Comic books *John Carpenter *The battle between good and evil *The overall band aesthetic *The protective spell The Keeper put on my Mazda 3

September 19, 2016 'You can take the band out of Hawaii... " Yesod from Pepper (Live at Riot Fest)
"You can take the band out of Hawaii, but you can't take the Hawaii out of the band..." Pepper drummer Yesod Williams from Pepper sat down with me at Riot Fest 2016 to talk about the band's long history. He was a gracious, kind and charming person to interview; despite the level of success Pepper's achieved, he approaches it with modesty: "My life is filled with 'pinch myself moments'" Another backstage interview from the Chicago date of Riot Fest 2016. This time around, it's Yesod Williams, drummer for Pepper, a band that's blissfully been bringing chill vibes for two decades. We started the interview with a discussion of the band's sound. Simply put, you can take the band out of Hawaii...but you can't take Hawaii

September 18, 2016 Columbia College alum crushes it at Riot Fest (Live at Riot Fest)
By the time you hear this episode, Jessica Hernandez may already be an international superstar. It sure feels like it's going to happen soon. The Detroit star turned heads and won fans in her Riot Fest set (Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas) on Saturday 9/17. We talked after her set about: *Her time in Chicago while going to Columbia College *Her music fandom and where it came from. *Her band, the Deltas: "Detroit is so rich with talented musicians... We all share that love of music." *A great place for Horchata in Detroit (hint: it's her family's restaurant)

September 17, 2016 GVSB - 'The future of the band is... a work in progress' (Live at Riot Fest)
Girls Against Boys are one of the coolest-sounding bands I've ever heard, with a menacing bottom-heavy rhythm section, swaggery vocals and a crisp, lacerating guitar that cuts through it all. These days, GVSB is relatively dormant, meaning live performances from them are opportunities to treasure. They played this year's Riot Fest in Chicago in broad daylight (the band's arguably more suited to playing a sleazy, sweaty, darkened room). I sat down with singer Scott McCloud and drummer Alexis Fleisig after their performance. They talked about the band's potential future, their catalog and the fact that "Chicago's probably one of the best cities for (them) in the United States."
