One of the things that makes Twin Peaks a great band, and a fresh take on classic rock and roll, is that the band members’ personalities really shine through in their music. Peaks’ guitar player and singer, Cadien Lake James, is no exception. 

On this episode, Cadien joined the pod before their show at The Basement East in Nashville. He talks about his new home recording setup, working on the next Twin Peaks album, the Chicago music scene, meeting Bruce Springsteen, switching his allegiance from John Lennon to Paul McCartney, and the inherent shittiness of big music festivals and R. Kelly.

We caught up with Brooklyn band Boytoy before their show at Soft Junk in Nashville. Hear them talk about their new record Night Leaf, and chime in on a variety of other bands as a part of our new format for the show. We are really digging the single, "Mary Anne" off forthcoming album Night Leaf.

Thanks to Reed Turchi and his Kudzu Kwyer for providing the intro music, and to Boytoy for letting us play a snippet of their new single, "Mary Anne."

This episode features Nashville DIY emcee Meth Dad, aka Tyler Walker. Homemade stock cars raced in the background while we recorded this one. It was 5pm on a Friday in the fall and our shop is next to the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway after all.

Tyler shares some of his favorite recent tunes and gives us tips on how to start your own band (or DIY venue). He might not know music theory, but he knows how to make music and how to take a risk.

He’s an inspiration to everyone trying something new.

We're joined this episode by Ale Delgado, label manager for Infinity Cat. Based in our hometown of Nashville, Infinity Cat is one of the best little indie labels in the country. It was started by the brothers of JEFF The Brotherhood, Jake and Jamin Orrall, along with their dad, Robert Ellis Orrall (aka Bob the Fatherhood), who's an accomplished Nashville songwriter in his own right.

Home to some of our favorite Nashville bands like JEFF the Brotherhood, Daddy Issues, Music Band, Faux Ferocious, Jawws, and Diarrhea Planet, Infinity Cat is also a crucial link between Nashville and the larger rock and roll scene with releases from artists like Colleen Green, Honey Joy, and Jaill.

If you're not already familiar with what Infinity Cat is putting out, Ale has you covered with a playlist of some of her favorite Infinity Cat releases.
