TEM Ep.7: DJP Interview and CD Giveaway!

Posted on by Posted in Electric Metropolis

I am AD Springer, your musical tour guide to The Electric Metropolis, and on this tour I will be featuring an interview with Dana Jean Phoenix (aka DJP), the woman behind the album Synth City and so much more great music you need to listen to; after the interview is a CD giveaway to the first person to email or tweet me the correct answer at the end (the contest is over! So listen to future podcasts and broadcasts for possible future contests!)

We will be starting our tour through some Future Funkiness with a dash of cute; after that will be a long tour through the chiptune district that will get you moving and smiling. At the second to last stop there will be some beautiful synth to bring the metropolis to brilliant light. Before the last stop will be the interview with DJP and getting to know how she started and why. Finally, the tour ends with a soft song that will tug at your heart. All in all, this tour will be exciting, shiny, and soaring. So, sit back, listen close, and enjoy your tour of The Electric Metropolis.

The Lunchbox Interview: Peter Hicks (Sleepy Driver)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Sometimes it’s the music and not the weather which gives you a delightful shiver..

My guest today is Peter Hicks from the band Sleepy Driver. Their latest album, Sugar Skull, continues their tradition of story-laden roots rock with memorable and slightly disturbing lyrics. Peter joins me to talk about how this album emerged from the ongoing elements present in each of their albums, while growing into its own size.

Sleepy Driver is holding a grand party for their album release, with two nights of performances with many of their friends and collaborators. Visit the Charlotte Street Arts Centre for the shows on Friday, November 24 and Saturday, November 25.
