It's a hangout in an elementary school music room with three members of emo-punk supergroup [Nice Cops](http://nicecops.bandcamp.com/releases), which includes members of local punk outfits like [Elder Abuse](http://witchpolice.podiant.co/e/350d1ecac1a770L/), [Boys' Club](http://witchpolice.podiant.co/e/34de65c1bd21faL/) and many, many more.

Nice Cops has an EP out now on tape, but they're working on an album... and you can hear four tracks from that record on the podcast!

On this episode, we're ridin' with the queen! Singer-songwriter and rock n' fuckin' roller [Romi Mayes](http://www.facebook.com/Romi-Mayes-Band-Official-Music-Page-110129255685862/) is an integral part of Winnipeg's independent music scene, and we finally have her on the podcast.

The timing couldn't be better, too, as she has a LOT going on. If you're listening to this podcast on the day it's released, Romi will be appearing live on your device of choice tonight as part of the [Village Idiots' Live at the Roslyn series](http://www.facebook.com/WeAreTheVillageIdiots/).

She's also resurrecting her late-90s country outfit Off the Wagon for [two reunion sets](http://www.facebook.com/events/2288008008079709/) at their old haunt this weekend, and she's working on her annual [Lonely Jew at Christmas](https://www.facebook.com/events/876631569392889/) party.

...and that's just scratching the surface.

It's a sit-down at a restaurant with Niverville-based alt-rockers [Plain as Ghosts](http://www.plainasghosts.com/) (well, two of 'em, anyway). We talk about their remix project, emotionally-driven songs, their Spinal Tap-esque difficulty finding a permanent bass player, and a lot more!

Singer-songwriter [Jesse Matas](http://jessematas.com/) is best known as one-third of roots sensations the Crooked Brothers, but he's also one of my oldest pals.

Having heard his music in all of its various forms for over two decades, I can safely say his new solo LP "Tamarock" (which comes out this Friday with a Winnipeg release show at the WECC) is the definitive Jesse Matas record.

We talk about the record's natural inspirations, working as a solo artist after years in an acclaimed group, and much, much more.

Country singer [Greg Arcade](http://gregarcade.com/) is a very opinionated fella, so it’s always a fun conversation when he’s in the podcast — even if (maybe *because*?) we fundamentally disagree with each other on a lot of issues.

I like that we are still pals after all these years despite that, and as always, Greg has big things going on as far as music.

He’s performing (and nominated) at this year’s[Manitoba Country Music Association](http://www.manitobacma.com/news.php) awards next week, and is busy with [Golden Oak Record Co](http://www.goldenoakrecordcompany.com/)., next year’s Howl At The Moon Music Festival and more!

Stonewall folk duo [Two Crows For Comfort](http://www.twocrowsforcomfort.com/) have only been performing for a year and a half, but they've made a lot of progress, from a full-length album (officially dropping in December), to a show in New York, to MCMA nominations.

We talk about all of that and more, from the luxurious confines of a Robin's Donuts in downtown Winnipeg!

Jazz guitarist [Keith Price](http://www.keithprice.ca/) and a murderer’s row of local musicians (including Erin Propp, Ismaila Alfa, Kevin Waters, Jared Beckstead-Craan and Dallas Nedotiafko) are covering Cinematic Orchestra’s 2002 record ‘Every Day’ in its entirety Friday at The Knndy.

I had a really quick lunchtime conversation with Keith, which you can hear in podcast form in a day or two. We also chatted about Keith’s role as producer on the upcoming Apollo Suns album! Stay tuned!

'Post-emo' artist [Drinkbleachh](http://soundcloud.com/drinkbleachh) blends hip-hop, R&B, and melodic, Autotuned vocals with a self-deprecating punk rock aesthetic.
