  • Episode 66: What's All The Rabble About Rabbl
    In the first of what will be an ongoing series of round-table discussions we sit down with Rabbl CEO Wade Lagrone and Listen Local First co-founder Chris Naoum to discuss the good and the bad of the crowd-sourcing platform that made waves in the DC music community a few short weeks ago. Whether you think it’s the future of music promotion, or nothing more than another example of the “pay to play” model, it’s a talk that everyone who is passionate about the issue should hear.

  • Episode 67: Sylvan Esso
    Sylvan Esso started off as a side-ish project between Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn, but has quickly blossomed into their full time gig, due in no small part of the success of their stunning debut album released earlier this year. In our latest podcast we sat down with Amelia and Nick the morning after they delivered a positively killer set opening for tUnE-yArDs at the 9:30 Club to discuss how the project came together, where they draw their formidable creative spark from, pop music, the internet, Moms and more. So tune in now to what is one of our favorite episodes to date of ChunkyGlasses: The Podcast with Amelia and Nick from Sylvan Esso!

  • Episode 65: Greg Edwards of Failure
    After nearly two decades, space rock cult giants Failure have emerged from their catacombs and into the daylight to kick off 2014 with a big bang. Now touring as a power trio, Kelli Scott, Greg Edwards and Ken Andrews have been traversing the country to treat their devoted fans to textured sounds and fantastic sets with sides of fun filmic inspiration. Before taking us on that ride -- and what a ride it was! -- our own Roddy Rasti caught up backstage with Greg, who was kind enough to chat with us about cat allergies, the early days, fretless bass, head-space, and what's on the horizon.

  • Episode 64: The Parlor Sessions

    Dean Fields, Andy Zipf, Jason Myles Goss and Eliot Bronson are all accomplished musicians on their own, but now they've joined forces and are hitting the road with a show they've dubbed The Parlor Sessions.

    Over the next two weeks this newly formed band of brothers will be delivering a uniquely intimate night of music up and down the East coast. After their stop here in DC the guys stopped by to talk about the genesis of The Parlor Sessions, how the experience hasn't been quite what they expected in the best ways possible, and what they see the future holds for each of the guys individually and together as The Parlor Sessions.

  • Episode 61: Sean Barna

    If you live in the District (of Columbia) and have even barely waded into the burgeoning local music scene, then you probably already know the name Sean Barna. Best known for his work behind the drum kit for a multitude of bands, last year Barna packed up and moved to California to pursue other dreams. But, it’s always, always been about the music for him and so eventually he found himself pursuing a new role, that of singer songwriter, with everything he’s got.

    Now Barna is back “home”, and ready to take on the world with a new EP of highly personal, highly emotional songs set for release later this year. Kevin sat down with Barna days after his return to talk about what drove him to go for broke and “chase the dream,” what he’s got planned for the future, and why he decided to step out from behind the kit.

    Whether you’re a musician, a music-fan, or just a fan of a great chat, this is one you don’t want to miss.

  • Episode 60: My Darling Fury

    BONUS EPISODE! Richmond, Virginia has always been a hotbed of music activity, and now a new crop of artists is starting to rise up to make their mark on the musical landscape. Leading that charge is My Darling Fury, a four piece whose sound is as much grounded in the vibrant punk and jazz scenes that have flourished there for years as it is in the dreamier sounds of modern indie giants going by names like Sigur Ros and Radiohead.

    A few months ago the band stopped by the rawk cave to chat before their debut gig in DC, and now on the eve of their return to the nation’s capital it’s only fitting that we present that conversation to you. So tune in and get to know a band that’s going to be doing very big things in the very near future.

Hard at work on his next solo record Nicolay talks a little about the past, a little about life as a solo artist, and even a little about singing like Meatloaf. Tune in to this one kids, because when you’re talking Franz Nicolay, well that’s about as good as it gets!
