I took the podcast on the road (and by the road I mean 7 minutes down the road) to Mom’s Basement Fest and had the pleasure of chatting with all 3 members of the NYC pop punk band The Lousekateers, El Chivo, DANIMAL, and GingerVal. We chat about the making of their brand new album MANDEMIC, out now, as well as their career and influences. We also chat about writing about politics without being a political band, having the opportunity to play Mom’s Basement Fest, their favorite songs to play, and so much more! I play a lot of tracks on here because the band was generous w/ their files and because I think the interview lead us to play more (so added bonus for you listeners!) So, please sit back and enjoy this rare live interview from TIJAP! *** (songs included in this episode are new and old ones: “Bubble,” “FTSC,” “Fanny Pack,” “Cockatiel Boy,” “Johnny Danger,” “Bonorrhea,” “On Fire,” and “The Silence.” - all used w/ permission from the Lousekateers.)***
