Coyote Shivers is a musician, songwriter and actor. As a rock’n’roll obsessed teenager in Canada, his career was launched when he co-produced the first single for the band Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet. The B-side, Having an Average Weekend, became the theme song for the television show “Kids In The Hall”. Soon he started working in studio for iconic producer Daniel Lanois. After moving to Manhattan in the 90’s, Coyote was cast as Berko in the cult classic Empire Records. The film ends with his song Sugar High, in a duet with Renee Zellweiger.

In this episode, hostess Pleasant Gehman and Coyote talk about the shenanigans that went on behind the scenes of the set of Empire Records, stories of opening for Kiss, touring in the UK, and of course, the Ramones Ducks.
