Vinnie Dombroski is the frontman of Sponge, one of the breakthrough alternative acts of the 90's, thanks to hits like 'Molly,' 'Plowed' and 'Wax Ecstatic.' The group are still going strong today, and are currently touring the U.S. (I'll be checking out their performance this weekend in Austin, TX).

This week Vinnie and I talk about the band's tour, including set list surprises (featuring some choice covers), and what all goes into their live music experience.

We also discussed the band's legacy, his thoughts on the current state of rock and roll, the realities of being a musician in the internet age, and much more.

He was a lot of fun to talk, as you're about to discover. And Anchor FM listeners can also check out my Sponge Spotify playlist after the interview.

As the frontman for Monster Magnet, Dave Wyndorf was a stoner rock pioneer, who propelled the group from cult status to hedonistic rock stars thank to their 1998 album Powertrip, fueled by their hit single Spacelord.

In today's podcast episode, Dave Wyndorf discusses the band's new, stripped down album Mindf**ker, which tones down the group's psychedelic leanings in favor of proto-punk fueled angst.

In addition, the whip-smart rocker talks about how his musical influences shaped the album, how its hard to make a "good times, rock-for-rock's sake" album in today's information overload era, what he thinks about our current political landscape, and much more in this lively interview.

Drummer Kevin Haskins has lent his talents to Bauhaus, Tones on Tail and Love and Rockets, three of the most acclaimed bands of the post-punk era.

He's revisiting his musical roots with 'Bauhaus - Undead: The Visual History and Legacy of Bauhaus,’ a deluxe coffee table book chronicling his tenure with Bauhaus, who helped popularize the Goth subculture (even though they refuted the classification).

In this week's episode, Haskins discusses the making of his new book (due March 16th via Cleopatra Records), remembering his time in Bauhaus, what's next for his new group Poptone, and more.

*For those who are curious, this episode's theme song is 'Hold it,' provided by L.A. space rockers Interstelar. Look for it on Bandcamp.

Dean Ween is one of the most celebrated cult musicians in rock. As one half of the musical duo/band Ween, he helped craft a truly eclectic (and humorous) mix of prog rock, punk, metal, psychedelia, soul and more, as evidenced on classic albums like Chocolate and Cheese and The Mollusk. Dean is back with Rock2, his sophomore solo release with The Dean Ween band (released March 16th via Schnitzel Records). In this week's episode, we discuss his new album, his creative process, some hilarious insight into the lyrical inspiration behind select tracks, as well as what's next for Ween in 2018. So take a listen to hear "What Deaner Was Talking About"!
