September 17, 2022 INTERVIEW with THUMPASAURUS singer LUCAS TAMAREN - STRUTTIN good time
Here's my interview with LUCAS TAMAREN from the great LA band THUMPASAURUS!

Thumpasaurus is a funk, jazz, experimental, new wave... well... just give them a listen.. they perform fun, energic and hilarious live shows ... like nothing else.

With their song "STRUTTIN'" they are about to take over the world! The song is so popular on TikTok that Michael Buble has been seen 'struttin' to it... the video for 'struttin' has over 1 million views on YouTube and the song is featured in a commercial for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Phone (cats are up to no good).. this commercial has been playing all over!

Lucas and I have a great conversation about the beginnings of Thumpasaurus, his vision on what he wants to do (and what he has done so far), the video for Struttin' (of course) and much more!

I only wish great things for Lucas and Thumpasaurus .. I know that we'll be seeing more of Thumpasaurus real soon!

Today I interview author Brian J Kramp who has just released his first book called THIS BAND HAS NO PAST - HOW CHEAP TRICK BECAME CHEAP TRICK.

This book covers the time leading up to the forming of the band Cheap Trick and goes up to their 4th album (at Budokan). This book not only is about Cheap Trick but what was going on during this time period (locally, politically, musically). So much information is in this book it will blow your mind. One of the best books about a band I've ever read.

Brian and I talk about the cheap trick, what music he loves, how the book came about and more! Another great interview.

Brian's book can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target and on his website (thisbandhasnopast.com). Brian's website is a place for all things Cheap Trick.. you'll find some great articles and photos not found in the book.

August 19, 2022 INTERVIEW with BUTCH PATRICK (Eddie Munster) / Rob Zombie / The Munsters Movie / The Monkees / All Things Munsters
Today we talk to Butch about the new Rob Zombie Munsters Movie, Butch's favorite munsters episodes, his appearance on a MONKEES episode, The Munsters Album, The Koach and more!

Mike and I grew up watching the Munsters on TV (like alot of people our age) so this was such a great thing for us to be able to talk to Butch Patrick for the podcast and a great way to kick off the new Munsters Movie coming out September 27th on Netflix.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BUTCH PATRICK:

Butch Patrick (born Patrick Alan Lilley; August 2, 1953) is an American former child actor. Beginning his professional acting career at the age of seven, Patrick is perhaps best known for his role as child werewolf Eddie Munster on the CBS comedy television series The Munsters from 1964 to 1966 and in the 1966 feature film Munster, Go Home!, and as Mark on the ABC Saturday morning series Lidsville from 1971 to 1973.

After The Munsters ended, Patrick continued to appear in guest-starring roles on various popular television series of the 1960s, including I Dream of Jeannie, Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, Daniel Boone, and Adam-12, as well as a recurring role as Gordon Dearing on the CBS family comedy series My Three Sons. During this time, Patrick also appeared in several Walt Disney films, including Way Down Cellar, The Young Loner and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, as well as portraying the role of Milo in the 1970 MGM live-action/animated film The Phantom Tollbooth.

In 1971, Patrick landed the starring role on Sid and Marty Krofft’s Saturday morning children’s program Lidsville, broadcast on ABC. In the psychedelic fantasy series, Patrick portrayed Mark, a boy lost in a strange land of walking, talking, singing hats, opposite veteran character actors Charles Nelson Reilly and Billie Hayes. The show was in production from 1971 to 1973. Butch can be heard in the new Rob Zombie Munsters movie as "the tin can man".

July 16, 2022 KURT REIL of THE GRIP WEEDS Interview (Pete Townsend / House of Vibes / The Knickerbockers)
Jim and Mike talk to Kurt about the Gripweeds latest contribution to "JEM RECORDS CELEBRATES PETE TOWNSEND" which comes out on August 5th. We also talk about some bands he's working with currently, House of Vibes Recording Studio, and more!

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GRIP WEEDS:

Critics, while praising The Grip Weeds, often try to pigeonhole them with the “Power Pop” label. This is a bit of a misnomer. While there are plenty of driving, poppy melodies, chiming guitars and close harmonies, The Grip Weeds’ releases have sported many different styles of original material, from Psychedelic and Garage Rock to Folk-based ballads and thought-provoking social commentary. This diversity has landed several Grip Weeds songs on the top of the Little Steven’s Underground Garage "Coolest Song In The World” list, as well as placed Grip Weeds music in several television and film projects. Their reputation as a top shelf live band has brought them to venues across the United States, and internationally, including the South By Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, Texas, Liverpool, England’s legendary Cavern Club, and several tours of Europe, among others.

Family ties are strong in The Grip Weeds, as singer/drummer Kurt Reil is joined by his wife Kristin Pinell Reil and brother Rick Reil, both singer/ guitarists: Kurt’s drum style at times seems manic and driving, yet with a keen sense of timekeeping; Kristin’s growling, aggressive lead guitar lines are laced with style, emotion and impressive technique; Rick adds his own distinctive guitar and songwriting talents, and the family trio also spearheads the recording and production of The Grip Weeds’ music. Bassist Dave DeSantis has held down bass duties for a number of top New Jersey bands before settling in with The Grip Weeds since 2012. All four Grip Weeds sing, and their group vocals have been acclaimed as one of the most distinctive and natural close harmonic blends working today.

COPYRIGHT CLAIM: The Grip Weeds renditions of the songs : No Time Like The Right Time, Strawberry Fields Forever, Lies and Going All The Way used with permission from Kurt Reil.

Jim and Mike talk to Laurence Juber about his newest album (Select Blends), what "finger-style" guitar is, his time as a member of Paul McCartney's WINGS, (my favorite WINGS album) BACK TO THE EGG, Martin Guitar & more!
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LAURENCE JUBER (LJ)
GRAMMY® winning guitarist Laurence Juber is a solo performer, recording artist, composer and arranger. His playing fuses folk, jazz, blues, pop and classical styles, creating a multi-faceted performance that belies the use of only one instrument.
A music graduate of London’s Goldsmith’s College, he was featured guitar soloist with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra before becoming established as a studio musician in the mid-1970’s. First internationally recognized as lead guitarist in Beatle Paul McCartney’s Wings, with whom he won a Grammy, Juber has since established himself as world-renowned guitar virtuoso and entertainer.
Known to his fans as LJ, he has recorded more than two dozen albums spotlighting his unique touch and tone on acoustic guitar. His latest release is Select Blends, a ‘virtually’ live album pulled from his over 250 livestream performances during Covid lockdown.
His LJ Plays The Beatles was voted one of Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s all-time Top Ten albums. His solo arrangement of The Pink Panther Theme earned him a second Grammy, while his arrangement of Stand By Me was heard nationally in a Diamonds Are Forever commercial. Juber’s DVD-Audio project Guitar Noir (AIX Records) won a CES Demmy award for best audio.
Juber has 4 guitar folios in print. The latest, The Evolution of Fingerstyle Guitar was published by Hal Leonard in January 2019. His ‘photo memoir’ Guitar With Wings was recently published by Dalton Watson Fine Books.
As a studio musician, he can be heard on recordings from artists as diverse as Harry Styles, Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks, Seal and the French chanteuse Sylvie Vartin, plus he is featured on the soundtracks to hundreds of TV shows such as Home Improvement and movies including the academy award-winning Dirty Dancing, Good Will Hunting and Pocahontas.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DANA FUCHS:

Dana Fuchs is one of the most coveted blues rock stars in the world today. A singer whose hypnotic voice and presence, has led critics to compare her to Janis Joplin, Otis Redding and Mick Jagger. Dana's records receive fantastic reviews, and she has been in the top 10 on the world's most important sales list - Billboard in the USA.

Produced by Bobby Harlow at Black River House, nestled in rural Croswell. MI, a midwestern factory town that provided the ideal setting for Dana to unleash her American roots, rock, soul.
