The Power Popahoplic Interview: Mimi Betinis of Pezband
Pezband (Mimi Betinis)
Pezband was an American power pop band formed in 1971 in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois. The original lineup consisted of Mimi Betinis (guitar and lead vocals), Mick Rain (drums and vocals), John Pazdan (guitar, piano and vocals), and Mike Gorman (bass and vocals). A recently remastered and remixed third LP, Cover To Cover is out now, and I talked with Mimi Betinis about this LP and what happened after that album.
The Power Popaholic Interview: Van Duren
Van Duren
If you are a true power pop fan then you already know Van Duren’s classic 1978 debut, Are You Serious?, and that this Memphis native has played with Chris Bell and Jody Stephens of Big Star. Van Duren’s long overlooked career is finally getting the attention it deserves. His story of trying to join Big Star before the band’s breakup and his interactions with the folks at Ardent Records in the late ’70s are all part of this interview and his biographic movie “Waiting.” See the movie preview below. Get the new Soundtrack here.
