At the Regional Emmys on June 27th 2026, FNX | First Nations Experience received 7 nominations and won four.

Pop punk and Indy rock! More with SEPT with David Fleming in conversation with Ben Ochoa and Misa Lara continuing the exploration of their newest EP, High Garden! And with Bambi Marr in studio as well, we’ll hear about some of the video aspects for the new release, as well as touching on the video and inspiration for an earlier single, Braces.

We were first introduced to the pop punk band, SEPT almost 2 years ago to the day, talking about their self titled EP among others. We had Ben Ochoa, Misa LAra and Bambi Marr in the studio quite recently to talk about the newest release, High Garden, as well as some of the video work involved. The conversation was extended enough to cover two KVC-Arts, though each installment stands quite nicely. Between the two shows we touch a bit on each song in one way or another.

David Fleming continues his discussion with Tim Flores about the jazz fusion group, Kittyhawk. Thanks to Tim (and some incredible technology and tech support) we now have a live album from a group which stopped playing together long before the cd was released. The producing of the cd was an arduous process, as it required extracting and repairing recordings from some rather unusual sources. The result is "Kittyhawk: Reclaimed Bootlegs."

David Fleming speaks with Tim Flores about an idea he had - and then championed. The result was "Kittyhawk: Reclaimed Bootlegs," songs captured live through a variety of clandestine recordings during the heyday of this VERY unique jazz fusion group, featuring the Chapman Stick... and at times, two.

Modern Natives: An Illustrated Collection of Reimagined Coast Salish Myths. This is the latest from Andrea Grant. We'll hear more about this absolutely wonderful new book, as well as some of her work in the world of graphic novels, including some which explore and tell of some Native American mythology, as well as a REALLY cool Edgar Allen Poe adaptation (to name just a couple). We also heard a bit about Minx, Andrea's superhero alter-ego which initially came to us in 4 issues but is now assembled into a single book. Minx works her way into the Modern Natives book as well.
