We went to MAGfest Prime 2024, performed on the main stage, and lived to tell the tale! Hear about Ro's set with the Ro Panuganti Prog Experience, Dean's equipment mishaps onstage with Cam Steady, and every amazing detail from the whole weekend!

In this episode, Dean and Ro are joined by the Keytar Kween herself, Lacey Johnson. Lacey's Video Game Music covers have taken her all over the country with relentless touring and incredible performances, all while releasing amazing music videos on YouTube nonstop. We talk traveling with gear, getting gigs, and the upcoming MAGfest 2024.

In this episode, Dean and Ro are joined by nerdcore icon OR3O, whose classic songs like "All Eyes On Me" and incredible projects like 2020's "Clover" concept album have set the standard in the scene and cemented her as a legend. We discuss collaborations, burnout, finding the fun in our work, and a brand new project OR3O and Dean are starting.
