I'm joined by the 4 members from the band, Telestai. The band recently had a release of their old demos, from Roxx Records.  The guys discuss their beginnings, forming the band and some of the interesting shows they played. Working with some of the other major Christian rock artists during that time and what's currently going on with them.  Disclaimer, Eric's comforter isn't that bad.

It's fun to get a different perspective of someone involved in the music industry.  She was up on the stage with her husband, but took a step back, to support her husband and the band Bloodgood.  

She discusses her early life, theater and meeting Les.  How things evolved from being in an all female group, joining Les , to running lights for Bloodgood and singing from the side stage.

What she did for a career and recently retired from.  

She discusses the loss of many of their close friends and it gets emotional.  

Mike Lee goes to Michael Drive, discussing his name and name change.  He tells a story about his name and the original pronunciation and the problems it caused him during school.  His funny talent show moment.  The formation of Barren Cross.  Working with the Elefante brothers for their albums.  Being on Enigma Records and being able to have a better production.  He also discusses traveling around Europe and randomly recording with different people.  Working on the project, Human Code and what to expect from that.  Could there be more from Barren Cross?
