This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with DARREN HILL the bassist
of RED ROCKERS, about the band's new LIVE album, "IT'S IN OUR BLOOD".
This live album (and concert film) comes from a special reunion show Red
Rockers played in 2023, which was their first time playing together in
nearly 40 years.
In this conversation, we talk about how this reunion concert went and

first time in nearly 40 years. We also discuss the band’s original run
in the early ‘80s, which included touring with the Clash and scoring a
hit on MTV. Darren also tells me about his work in artist management, as
he has managed several legendary acts like The Replacements and Roky
Erickson. Plus he even shares his memories of touring with Warren Zevon,
with his other band the Raindogs.

This is my retrospective of the iconic LETHAL WEAPON film franchise, as

overcome at this point.
I have included a clip from my conversations with Mathew Buck (host of
the Film Brain YouTube channel), in which Mathew also shares his disinterest in a fifth Lethal Weapon movie.
