I just got finished with my interview with The Bellfuries. If you missed the review of the album “Palmyra” then I suggest you take a look – it’s up there for a 2008 top ten nomination. I wanted to learn a little more about the band, so I put together a few questions for band leader Joey Simeone. Check the artists interview button on the right side, or this direct link to the Bellfuries Interview here.
Enjoy it! More reviews coming up for October soon.
This is my exclusive interview with Robby Takac, bassist for the Goo Goo Dolls. Bobby was very gracious, despite the fact that I can’t pronounce his last name. After 20 years, the Goo Goo Dolls are considered the gold standard for melodic alternative rock and still going very strong. We talk about the new album they are recording in Buffalo, fame, stage gaffs, and the music business in the digital age.

Thanks to Phil Andrews at Palo Alto Pop Overthrow for this one.
I reviewed The Explorer’s Club back in May. More interviews coming soon!
Everything you ever needed to know about Mike Viola, (Singer, Songwriter, and Producer of “That Thing You Do!”). Here he talks about his career and plays some tunes.
I was amazingly lucky to get these interviews with the following power pop artists. The Spongetones Jamie Hoover was very friendly and approachable and I interviewed him hot on the heels of his new album “Too Clever By Half” – to say Mr. Hoover is respected here is an understatement as you can see above, his peers all pay tribute to the band.
Not to be ignored is the irrepressible band Shake Some Action who also talked a bit about the new album, the live tour and the band’s future. I chatted with leader James Hall ( who is working on a new Jeunes album) and bandmate, Gary Miller.
