When funk music icon Freekbass and music writer/videographer Rex-A-Vision get together there's only one thing on their minds...comic books and comic book movies! In this inaugural episode of The Backstage Supercast the guys lay out their agenda, talk the future of the Marvel movie franchise and the movies soon to be announced before a rousing discussion on the movie franchise that started it all...Superman! The highs of the first two are contrasted with the lows of the final entries at length and Rex even offers a couple of theoretical fixes that would make the misses into direct hits. In the future there will be guests but for now let's get to know our hosts and enjoy some deep dives into comic magic!

Dango Rose plays bass for Elephant Revival, America's premier transcendental folk band. In addition he also heads the Elephant Collective, an effort to help artists refine, coalesce and release their work, as well as record new music of his own! His first single from the EP he will be releasing this fall is called "Ala Glory" and, as a special bonus, is included in this podcast! YAY! I can't say enough about this band and the impact their existence and music had had on my life, though I do try a smidge. Dango, Bridget Law, Daniel Rodriguez, Sage Cook, Bonnie Paine became more than just musicians, they became my friends and I am very happy to welcome the first of what will eventually be the entire band to the podcast! DOUBLE YAY!

Guitarist Joe Marcinek uses a unique formula to rock the world. Marcinek eschews tradition by changing the line up to his band almost nightly, rotating through a stellar assortment of musicians like George Porter Jr. from The Meters, Alan Evans of Soulive, Ivan Neville and Tony Hall of Dumpstaphunk and on and on. Since his last appearance on the show Marcinek has released his JM3 album, with Wil Blades and Terence Higgins to rave reviews.

Guitarist Ben Strok took the Suwannee Rising Music Festival by storm with a ripping set of blues based rock and roll. He's been working in the Florida music scene for years but now that he's out on his own Strok and his band "The Full Electric are starting to reach out with their music and take their sound out to the nation, and the world at large. We chat for a bit then, as a super added bonus I included spotless soundboard audio of their entire Suwannee Rising show! Dig it!
