Digivegas 157 - The Hoolapoppers and Zimmerman Twins

The gig at The New Way Bar was a lot of fun. Many thanks to The Zimmerman Twins for opening the show and providing the backline gear. Thanks to carl for lending us his basement so we could rehearse for the show.
Thanks to all our fans, friends and family for coming out to see us after having been away for so long!

DigiVegas 156 - The Postmarks

Joining me this week are Christopher Moll and Tim Yehezkely of The Postmarks, an Indie/pop group from Pompono Beach, Florida.

"some of the most complex and sophisticated pop music around, a self-contained, hermetically pure world of orchestrated, swooningly cinematic lusciousness."

--New Times

"...awash with atmospheric, watercolor sounds, implying something ominous underneath the innocence.' --CMJ

Yup, that's perfect. Couldn't say it better myself.

They're out there promoting their third CD, Memoirs At The End Of The World, which was recently released back in late August.

DigiVegas 155 - Lita Ford

My guest this week is hard rock legend, the High-Mistress of Metal, Lita Ford. She stopped rocking, literally, at the top of her game, back in the 1990's to devote her time and energy to family, and the surroundings of real life on a surreal Caribbean island. (tough gig there, eh?)

But once you have the bug in you to ROCK!, it never really leaves you, and eventually Lita felt the itch again. Her new CD, Wicked Wonderland is her first full-length offering since 1995’s Black. Lita shows that her flair for sexy, stomping, searing sounds has only gotten more vivid.

Check out this episode of DigiVegas to hear tracks off Wicked Wonderland, and to hear Lita discuss with Paulie her decision to leave the rock scene, her life in Paradise, and her decision to come back to rock audiences nationwide on her tour with Queensryche.

Digivegas 152 - Doop and The Inside Outlaws

It's nice to keep in touch with all the bands I've interviewed over the years. Don Duprie emailed me a week or so ago to tell me about the release of his new CD, Everett Belcher. Naturally, we just had to get him on the show again. (check out his first appearance on the show on episode 095)

It seems perfectly appropriate that this episode be posted on Labor Day. As Doop's own bio says: "Detroit has always been known for its thriving music scene and diverse musical artists... the city has consistently produced music that has captured the hard-working-harder-playing essence of the “Motor City.”

Embodying this hard-working spirit is singer-songwriter Don “Doop” Duprie and The Inside Outlaws... Doop now conveys that same work ethic and honesty in all aspects of his musical career as a full-time singer/songwriter..."

Check out our conversation, as well as tracks of the new album on this episode of Digivegas!

DigiVegas 151 - Matt Moore

My Guest this week is Matt Moore, from Clare, MI. It’s difficult for a young male singer/songwriter to set himself apart from the crowd in a genre that is already packed full of talent, but that is exactly what Clare, Michigan based modern rock artist Matt Moore has been doing. His songs are the story of his life, often touching on love, relationships, personal struggles and faith. Matt has a unique ability to combine honest and vulnerable lyrics with passionate guitar playing to create an emotional and memorable experience.
Check out this episode of Digivegas. Matt shares music from his new CD, No Place Left To Hide, AND how you can get it for free. He also reminisces about playing for men in tights, as well as risking arrest to put on a show.
