The Sonic Temple

In this episode, Jake had a great conversation with musician and #1 Sir Lord Baltimore fan, Brian Fox. Brian became friends with John Garner and Louis Dambra in 1991. We had a great conversation about the band’s history, lost live/rehearsal tapes, and the mystique behind this incredible band.

We also talked briefly about Brian’s history with Seattle music, including starting Safety First Records, managing The Living (including Duff McKagan and Greg Gilmore), and playing with bands like Chubby Children.
