Writing a novel and writing a song are two quite different prospects. Dan Hornsby—author of Sucker and Via Negativa, as well as fronting indie-rock group True Green—is pretty well-versed in both.

On this very day True Green release their second album HAIL DISASTER on Spacecase Records and Dan joins me to discuss his music, his writing and some of the stories that make their way into his art.

In amongst discussions of the late Steve Irwin, Lou Reed and The Cleaners from Venus we even find ourselves discussing the late purple one, Prince. And I’m always game for a chat about Prince.

True Green will be playing shows in North America in the end of May. You can get further information on all upcoming shows from the links below.
