Bull Pit Podcast #15: Abajo Fidel


This is part 3 of an interview I did with Hector of The Frequency. NME's Chris Mandle calls the Frequency's new album "tied together with slick, stripped-back music strengthened by simplicity as much as beauty."And, "‘Unlikely Morning Song’ could calm even the most bilious of souls, while ‘Ego Is The Drug/3am’’s 17 minutes of poetic adventure has the scale of an instrumental Iliad."

In this 3rd installment of the interview, Hector completes the story about how he got off the island of Cuba... and tells some harrowing and heartbreaking stories about why he had to leave the island.

Songs by Black Furies, Soho Roses, Rock City Angeles.

iTunes is down, I had to re-submit our feed and it takes days for them to re-approve. It's getting more and more like Cuba here!

Ginger Wildheart @ Viper Room, July 16


Last Thursday night I went to see my favorite podcaster, The Rock and Roll Geek Show's Michael Butler, play bass (along with Billy Morrison of The Cult/Camp Freddy on guitar and Scott Lipps on drums) for Ginger Wildheart @ the Viper Room. I am a bit ashamed to admit I am not a fan and didn't know the songs. I meant to download the songs from the setlist (Michael gave it out on the podcast last week), but I didn't get around to it.

Butler was all over the stage, looking like a bad ass with his bass down low in his Disco Sucks t-shirt. The songs were catchy as hell and I plan on buying some Wildhearts/Ginger tracks in the near future.

It was cool meeting Michael after the show. The weird part about the night was that Trisha (Bull Lee singer), walked up to us as we were talking. She was there to review the opening band for a friend's blog. She ended up reviewing Ginger too (who she called the opening band), you can check that out here.

Michael's first words to me as I walked up and introduced myself (he's played us on his show before and we've corresponded a few times via email): "I thought you'd be a fat guy".
