How do talent and kindness come together so effortlessly?

We dive into a friendly conversation with the talented guitarist/songwriter/producer David Newton, best known for his role in the post-punk band, The Mighty Lemon Drops.

The discussion kicks off with a trip down memory lane as David reminisces about his first festival experience, the Rock Against Racism carnival in London, where he saw The Clash perform. How incredible! Listen to him speak about an important festival in Pasadena, CA, called The Cruel World Festival. 

Adding depth to the conversation, the episode touches on David's personal journey, including his early start in music, the support (and sometimes skepticism) from family, and his career trajectory from DIY beginnings to global recognition. 

Furthermore, the episode explores the collaborative efforts within the music industry, the enduring friendships among various bands, and the Mighty Lemon Drops' unique legacy. He kindly analyzes music from albums such as Uptight, Laughter, and Ricochet. So fun!
