Episode 559: Demi The Daredevil

Hello friends! I hope you all had a good Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Things are good here. Spent the weekend practicing and playing. I went to C-Boys after my gig on Friday and saw Mike Flanigin and Jimmie Vaughan play the end of their set. It's really awesome to live in a town where you can get home from a gig at 12:30, get to C-Boys a bit before 1 a.m. and see these amazing and legendary artists play at a club. Pretty great. If you live in Austin, SKYROCKET! wil be playing at Cedar Street Courtyard this Friday, January 20th. Come out and party with us.

My guests for episode 559 are Marc Martel and Jeff Azar from Austin art-rock band, Demi The Daredevil! Their new e.p., Secret Schizoid is out now and available by going to demithedaredevil.com. They wil be playing tomorrow night, Wednesday, January 18th at The Mohawk in Austin, TX. Jeff and marc and I have a fantastic conversation about growing up in El Paso, playing together in their first band as teenagers, the death of their original lead singer, being hospitalized for mental issues, making Secret Schizoid on their own, the effects of porn on society and much, much more! I hope you enjoy getting to know these sweet lads. I sure did. Let's get down!

 

ciao! -jg
