Brother Thunder (@brotherthundermusic) is a super fun band based in Austin, Texas. A few weeks back, they opened for Lew Apollo at his album release show and I was immediately impressed with their energy and stage presence.

This week on the podcast, I have all 3 members of Americana Rock & Roll band, Brian K and the Parkway on the show!

Meet Luke Marzec - British Jazz/pop musician! Luke just released Side A of his new album, "Something Good Out of Nothing" and today he is joining me to discuss how this album came about.

We discuss his time working on the set of Wonka, living on a narrow boat during the pandemic, and how his song Red Boletes came from living every Cottage Core girls' dream!

You can find Part A of Luke's album anywhere you stream music, and Part B comes out later this year!

In 2022 I discovered and fell in love with a band called Superet! On this week's episode I'm joined by Matt Blitzer to discuss the latest and greatest Superet music. This includes hints about the new album, the inspiration behind the currently released songs, and a podcast exclusive LIVE performance of his song, "Cargo Pants".

The music video for Cargo Pants is OUT NOW, and Matt will be dropping new music around the album very soon. You can stream all of Superet's music and follow Matt on Instagram (@superetmusic)

Beth McCarthy is an incredible bisexual pop singer harrowing from London (originally York). Her upbeat music has played as the soundtrack for queer individuals for years and today? She's on MY podcast!!!

Beth recently came to Austin for a week of South by Southwest performances and I was lucky enough to sit down with her for an evening and pick her brain about everything you want to know!

We talk The Hot and Stupid tour (and era), the pettiest thing we've done to get back at an ex, and debate which famous tropes are hot and which are stupid. I hope you'll enjoy this episode and stick around for more!

South by Southwest just ended here in Austin, and the amazingly talented Jessa Graves (of the band J.Graves) sat down with me to discuss new music, tour, and what it takes to "go full gremlin mode" at shows. >:)

Jessa and Aaron - the other half of J.Graves - came all the way from Portland, Oregon. They are currently on tour and will be on the road again in May doing east coast shows! Find tickets at jgraves.xyz online.

The famous slogan "Keep Austin Weird" takes a new meaning in this episode. "Boner Bizarre" is known as a guerilla-style erotic variety show that combines the art of burlesque with some very interesting sideshow talents!

In this episode, I sit down with one of the creators, Zoja. They tell me about how this electric event started as a house party and how they've adapted around Austin.

If you're in town, absolutely come check out one of the shows! And for those of you out of state, you can follow them here:
