Kurt Baker talks about his latest project, an Oasis tribute band “Live Forever” and we have some footage! Plus, we discuss his ten years in Spain and future projects with Wicked Cool Records. His 2023 album ‘Rock and Roll Club’ is still out there! See some more of the Oasis tribute below!
One of the most renowned rock and roll sound engineers is Robert “Nitebob” Czaykowski. He has been front-of-house mixing for well-known musicians for about 50 years. He has also worked as a gear tech, advised musical instrument manufacturers (the Fender Cyber-Twins has a “Nitebob” preset), and even functioned as Walter Becker’s de facto “guitar pimp.” He’s officially been production manager and sound engineer for the following artists: Steely Dan, Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley, Lez Zeppelin, New York Dolls, KISS, Aerosmith, REM, and others.
Nitebob possesses a wealth of knowledge. If you’re in the music business, you should try to learn from his advice. We chat about his career and the state of the concert business.
A very quick chat with drummer and author John Borack. We get into the bands he plays in, most notably The Armoires and Popdudes. We also touch upon some of his influences as a drummer and the books he is working on. Check out my review of the Armoire’s ‘Octoberland’ 🎶
Just a heads up to check out my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@powerpopaholic
I will be doing a lot more interviews, and I have about 25 archived interviews that are stuck on an older account I am updating for easy access. Be on the lookout for these new and old interviews. Archived interviews include original conversations with Joe Satriani, Terry Adams, Nicole Atkins, Susanna Hoffs, and more. And it would really be nice if you subscribed, that way you are notified the minute they are posted.
Enuff Z’nuff is a band that has a great legacy and deserves more attention. I had a cool chat with Chip Z’nuff about the new album “Xtra Cherries” we go through several tracks and talk about them, and some of the artists involved. Thanks, Chip! Read the full album review here. 🎶
