Eivør
Today we go international. Welcome the greatest person from the Faroe Islands since Venceslaus Ulricus Hammershaimb. She also has a much shorter name. It’s Eivør! She’s currently on a North American tour to support her new album Tungl and she was kind enough to take some time and talk about her musical life with me. And I do mean musical life. She was already performing on TV by thirteen. By seventeen she was not only preparing to study music in college, she was already finished with her second solo album! And I say solo album because she had also released an album singing for the band Clickhaze. I ask her about shifting from jazz to more experimental music with her fourth album and how she incorporates traditional Faroese music into her contemporary sound. She’s also the voice behind the music for The Last Kingdom TV series and two God of War video games. Eivør is really open and candid about her career, her changes in sound, audience reactions, and the differences between Scandinavian and US audiences. She once wrote an album in Faroese and then rewrote it entirely in English! She describes songs as pickles and is a good sport when I butcher her Faroese song titles. Her live shows are wonderful and mesmerizing as she recreates vocals that I thought were studio creations. Give her a follow @eivormusic on social media. Pick up Tungl from her website eivor.com. Follow the show @PerformanceAnx. Grab merch at performanceanx.threadless.com. Use ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety if you want to send coffee funds. Now go grab Akvavit and get ready for Eivør on Performance Anxiety on the Pantheon Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Side Projects: Nashville vs Champaign-Urbana w/Matt North
This episode is fun and really interesting. Matt North returns with a new album and a different perspective on making it. Matt lives in Nashville but chose to make his album in Champaign-Urbana, instead. We talk about how Nashville has changed over the past several decades; the positives and the negatives. We go off onto a few tangents during the show. Actually, we kind of start off on a tangent. Matt explains the purple cow theory, totem pole culture, and remote recording with Paul Chastain, in Japan while using old high scholl friends and his old high school band director as bandmates and arrangers. He also talks about how his former roommates comedians Mitch Hedberg and Patton Oswalt, as well as Dave Attell, have influenced his songwriting. And, somehow, Ray Charles gets into the conversation. Check out Matt’s new album, Savoy, at mattnorthmusic.com or Bandcamp. Follow him @mattnorthmusic. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Merch is available at performanceanx.threadless.com. Money for coffee is accepted through ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety. Now I hope you enjoy Nashville vs Champaign-Urbana with Matt North on Performance Anxiety on the Pantheon Podcast Network.

brookelen
This was a fun one. Welcome brookelen to the podcast. I stumbled across one of her reels on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her sound. I reached out about doing a podcast episode and a week later, here we are.Brooke grew up a military kid but found a home in Arlington, VA, after several moves.She picked up violin as a kid and was inspired by the epicness of Celine Dion.Her early musical aspirations weren’t necessarily that of an artist, though, but more behind-the-scenes.Although she was writing music, she didn’t really throw herself into it until she moved to Los Angeles. She met up with friends and started playing in parks and with friends. She’s played in a few projects but it wasn’t until she lost her job that she really decided to throw herself into her music. Her music has evolved over the relatively short period of time she’s been releasing it. Each EP has a different reason for it’s different sound; from dealing with familial relationships to depression, and more, each album charts new ground. The new EP is no exception. It’s loud, raw, and was recorded live in the studio. It was a way of breaking the hold that perfectionism had on her. The new release, Dark Side of the Sun, is out everywhere and there are physical copies! Listen on Spotify or buy it on Bandcamp! If you’re into 90’s alternative, you’ll love this EP. Give her a follow @brookelen on Instagram and TikTok. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Merch is at performanceanx.threadless.com. Or just help with coffee money at ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

Harley Di Nardo (Closer, White Light Motorcade)
This guest is one I’ve wanted to have on for a while. I’ve been a fan for about 20 years but I had always been nervous about approaching him for one specific reason. It’s a sensitive topic that will be obvious when you listen. But after seeing him open up about it on his own YouTube videos, I reached out. And I’m so glad I did. Please welcome Harley Di Nardo to the show. He’s a modern renaissance man, being a musician, film maker, and hair stylist. I heard his first band, Closer, through Pandora. Imagine that, a platform that really did help me discover music! We talk about getting signed and dropped twice, switching gears, and one day that turned his life upside down. He’s making new music, finding old music he had forgotten about, and helping others (including me) stay positive about obstacles and failures in our lives. Not only does he share some great stories, he’s consistently releasing new music on Spotify, so keep looking and checking him out there. Follow him @harleydinardo on Instagram & Harley Di Nardo on Facebook. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on Instagram.

Matt Devine (Ventilator, Permanent Green Light)
Today’s guest has just reissued a hidden gem. Welcome Matt Devine. Matt has played with a lot of previous guests of this podcast. And after listening to his bands Permanent Green Light and Ventilator, I know why. He talks about how he got into music and the bands he loved growing up. He talks about starting his own bands and keeping the expectations low. After Permanent Green Light formed and dissolved, he focused on the music he had been writing for himself in his apartment. That music became Ventilator’s first album, Reseda Spleen. Reseda Spleen was released in 1996 and I am amazed that it seems to have slipped through the cracks. And it turns out that Reseda Spleen isn’t the only lost classic he’s played on. He also appears on Paul D’Amour’s post-Tool band, Feersum Ennjin. Matt talks about his post Ventilator career and how Reseda Spleen came to be reissued on Bar None Records. The digital release even comes with a couple of bonus tracks. Matt talks about what it’s like going back and listening to songs he wrote 30 years ago. But with this reissue, more people will be hearing it for the first time! So grab your vinyl from bar-none.com. Follow the band on Instagram @ventilatorofficial for some exclusive pictures and videos. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Merch is available at performanceanx.threadless.com. Send coffee funds to ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

Wesley Stace (John Wesley Harding)
Today’s guest is a very interesting artist. I’m pleased to present Wesley Stace, aka John Wesley Harding. He’s just released a new album called One Last Heist and it’s wonderful. Wesley has always been an artist who follows his instincts and they’re currently pulling him into a jazzy stage. But he was gracious enough to step back in time with me and discuss his career, starting even before his debut album, a daring solo, live, acoustic disc called It Happened One Night. It turns out, his plans were NOT to become a musician. But when he did, he chose a pseudonym instead of using his given name. We talk about that and how his style has evolved over the decades. His latest albums are being released under his given name and he reveals why that is. He talks about writing novels and the effect that’s had on his lyric writing. We also discuss jazz and food, his band, his philosophy on making music at 60, and if John Wesley Harding might see the light of day again. Give him a follow as Wesley Stace on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Grab the album One Last Heist at pravdamusic.com or wesleystace.com. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on Instagram. Check out merch at performanceanx.threadless.com or send coffee money to ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

Tim (T.R.) Miller
Today’s show is a little different. I’m joined by former podcast guest Timothy Reid. He reached out to me about our subject, bassist Tim (T.R.) Miller. He’s an American bass player who lived in Japan for many years. He’s an important, but possibly underappreciated, figure in the Japanese rock scene. Timothy followed his career for a long time and, eventually, met up with him and even played in some bands with him. Tim had issues and had to leave Japan. He agreed to speak with Timothy via phone calls from his halfway house, in order to tell his story. Timothy compiled the calls and asked if he could release Tim’s story through this podcast. I thought it was a great idea! It’s exactly the reason this podcast was created; to tell the stories of artists who are not household names but whose stories are just as important. I hope you enjoy the story of Tim (T.R.) Miller. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Side Projects: Collaborations w/Jordon Zadorozny & Stephen Bluhm
Today we’re talking about collaborations. And by we I mean, of course myself, Jordan Zadorozny and Stephen Bluhm. Both Jordon and Stephen have partaken of the fruits of collaboration. Jordon hath tasted the delights on many an occasion whilst Stephen has recently just taken his first bite of the apple of collab. We talk about our favorites, some that really didn’t turn out so well, and the reasons why. Stephen’s collaboration is with the legendary Mike Watt. He talks about how it happened and how he wound up doing a three hour tour of San Pedro with Watt as his guide. Jordon discusses some of his collaborations and shares some amazing stories of ones that went well and the one that went very wrong. He also talks about his collaborations wit Lindsay Buckingham, both intentional and accidental. Go to Bandcamp or Subvert.fm to find Stephen’s new song with Mike Watt under the name Work Crush.

Darren Michael Boyd
Today’s guest came to my attention through a friend. Welcome guitarist Darren Michael Boyd. Technically, he’s a multi-instrumentalist but let’s keep things simple for the introduction. He first came to my attention through Astrid Young and her cover of Hell Hole for the Teen Cancer America Spinal Tap Tribute. He released a new album last year but that's just the latest in a string of solo albums in addition to the other bands he plays in and contributions he makes. He talks about his early days, touring as a teen (one stop turned out to be the scene of a murder). Darren talks about shifting from bands to a guitarist-for-hire role. He also talks about why he started writing and releasing solo albums and the difficulties of being an independent artist. He’s got a great live band but Darren is still getting used to being out front. He talks about the Spinal Tap project and how he got involved. He also tells me how he got started in the reptile business. Be sure to pick up his music at darrenboyd.com and follow him on socials @darrenmichaelboyd. Follow us @PerformanceAnx and grab merch at performanceanx.threadless.com. You can also send money to ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

Dizzy Reed (Guns N' Roses)
Today’s guest really didn’t have a choice in what he did. Rock and roll chose him. Please welcome Dizzy Reed to the podcast. You may know him best as the keyboardist and second longest tenured member of Guns N’ Roses but that’s not the beginning (or end) of his story. From learning to play organ from his grandmother to his first gig playing Smoke On The Water on an unusual instrument, all the way to meeting GNR and releasing two solo albums and everything in between, Dizzy has some of the best stories I’ve heard. He talks about perfecting the after-party and being a part of The Dead Daisies and Hookers & Blow to play some of his favorite covers. We talk about the four songs Guns has never played live, improv Christmas songs, and meeting Ronnie James Dio at the mall. He also tells me the story of how he got the nickname Dizzy, playing with Spinal Tap as The Legendary Wheatabix, and the career he MIGHT have chosen, had not rock and roll chosen him. And I want to wrap up with a thank you to Jason Achilles for connecting me with Dizzy and introducing him to the Teen Cancer America Spinal Tap project. And a special thank you to former guest Timothy Reid (no relation) for technical audio assistance on this episode. I owe you one! Go to dizzyfnreed to pick up the limited vinyl version of his latest solo album, go see Guns N’ Roses on tour, and give man a follow @dizzyfnreed.

Richard Foos (Rhino Records, Shout! Factory)
Today’s guest is an entrepreneur par excellence. Welcome the founder of Rhino Records and Shout! Factory, Richard Foos. We go back to Richard’s early days and find out how music became so important to him. He talks about his early attempts in the record business and how that eventually evolved into Rhino Records. He then tells how Rhino Records, the record store, became Rhino Records, the record label. We talk about how Rhino singlehandedly created the reissue market, how it evolved to include bonus material, and how they find that stuff. He sold Rhino and used the same formula with his next venture, Shout! Factory, but turning the focus to TV and movies, including my favorite, Mystery Science Theater 3000. He sold Shout! Factory and is now focusing on nonprofit work and a possible podcast. Keep an ear out for it! Follow us @PerformanceAnx and check out performanceanx.threadless.com for our merch.

Dan Cuddy (Hypnolovewheel, The Special Pillow)
Today’s guest is special. And he has special things. Welcome Dan Cuddy to the podcast. Dan plays bass in The Special Pillow. He used to play bass in Hypnolovewheel. He’s here to talk about Hypnolovewheel’s new compilation, Parallel Universe. It’s a great mix of their music and it has a bunch of really cool songs that are previously unreleased. And of course we talk about Dan’s career. Where did he start? How did Hypnolovewheel start? What’s behind the name? How did it all end and The Special Pillow begin? Also, what’s so special about this pillow? But, of course we get sidetracked with Hypnolovewheel’s place in the Marvel Universe, how they confused prospective drummers, some tour stories (including some strange touring matchups) and more. We also talk about cassettes vs CDs vs vinyl. It’s gripping stuff. Check out Parallel Universe on Bandcamp and streaming platforms. Follow the band @hypnolovewheel & @thespecialpillow on Instagram.

Love Jones
So my guests today are just the epitome of cool. They spearheaded the lounge-style music revival of the 90’s. Welcome Ben Daughtrey and Jonathan Palmer of Love Jones to the podcast. The band has just released their fourth album, The Greatest Show and it’s definitely the band’s sound, distilled into six tracks. Before we dive into how the album came to be after a 15 year hiatus, we talk about how they became a part of Tool lore, opening for the band for the legendary show at the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Center. Ben & Jonathan also discuss their thoughts on the band’s trajectory; what went right, what went wrong, and two breaks of over a decade each. They discuss the birthday party that reunited the band, the writing process for the new album, and the song on the new album that was inspired by both Blondie and Philip K. Dick. Go grab the album at love-jones.com. Stream it on your favorite platform. Follow them @lovejonesband on Instagram. Follow us @performanceanx.

French Stewart
Today’s guest made me feel…liked. I was fortunate enough to talk with actor French Stewart. And it wouldn’t have happened without the kindness of two wonderful people, Laurel Green and Matt North. Thank you both so much. French’s story is wild. His acting stems from a mix of a high school elective and having a con man for his biological father. He had no idea he was going to college, let alone for acting, until his mom told him so. But his talent shone through and soon he was in LA doing Professor Bodywise’s Traveling Menagerie. French reveals how he got his SAG card, got fired from that job, rehired, pulled over in the Flintstones mobile, and got fired again. He did a lot of work prior to his big break, like the Stargate movie, The New WKRP in Cincinnati, and Glory Daze. But he tells me the special something that got him the part of Harry Solomon on 3rd Rock. He has a ton of great stories from all of his roles and he was happy to share them, including some of the roles he was offered that didn’t exactly stretch his acting chops. But he’s so much more than a comedic actor who only does variations on the Harry Solomon theme. If you want proof, check out the Jennifer Lynch movie Surveillance, his work with the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, his guest spot on Psych, or one of his most recent films, Bob Trevino Likes It. That movie is something special. So follow French on Instagram or Facebook. He’s pretty easy to find. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Pick up merch at performanceanx.threadless.com or just send money through ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.

Bob Bert (Sonic Youth, Lydia Lunch)
Today’s guest has made a career playing with some of the most avant garde musicians in the world. But he didn’t start off with music in mind. Welcome drummer Bob Bert to the podcast. He grew up in a house that wasn’t super musical. In fact, his father, Angelo, was more into sports than music. He was so into sports that he won the Heisman trophy in 1943. But Bob had other ideas. Bob played some drums but was more interested in fine art, eventually printing for Andy Warhol. His music career began when his wife volunteered him for an impromptu gig. Bob talks about how he got the Sonic Youth gig, was fired, and then rehired. He talks about some other projects he was in and how Thurston Moore named one of them. Bob discusses his time in P***y Galore, Chrome Cranks, Jon Spencer & The Hitmakers, Lydia Lunch, and more. Bob has released his first true solo album called Beach Bongo Bloodbath. And the consensus is…it’s a fun album. It’s a mix of covers and originals and highlights Bob’s singular take on music, like his guitar-free version of Mountain’s Mississippi Queen. It’s out on Bar None Records. Find it, buy, it, stream it, whatever you need to do. And follow Bob @therealbobbert on Instagram.

Don Cento (Cento Threeo)
Today’s guest is almost like talking to myself from a parallel universe. Welcome Cento Threeo’s Don Cento. Don’s been creating music for decades in all kinds of ways, all kinds of styles, and in all kinds of roles. He played guitar about as seriously as any teenager until he ran across a flamenco guitar player who performed at his school. That changed everything. When he was considering colleges, there was an odd coincidence that set his path in motion. And it turns out that a relative ended up working at that same college a few years into Don’s time there! He really had no plans after college but ended up falling into a graphics design career due to the needs of the bands he was in. He’s learned a lot from every band he’s been in. He talks about those bands, different genres, and how all of that has helped him in his career. He has formed a cool band called Cento Threeo and their debut album is about to come out. It’s called Halfway To Mellowtown and is filled with exquisite music. Don reveals the thought behind the band name and the reason they spend two whole days recording the album. So go check it out, order it on bandcamp, stream the music, and support awesome music like Cento Threeo. Check out centothreeo.com for more info and social media links, even though they’re pretty easy to find. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials.

Larry McNeny (Eric Clapton, Ozzy Osbourne)
Today’s guest began his career as a musician but worked his way behind the scenes, managing some of the biggest tours on the planet. Welcome Larry McNeny. He’s just released a book about his career as a tour manager called Blood, Guts, and No Glory. Larry discusses his early aspirations to become a rock star, his encounters with musicians including Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and the Bee Gees, and his work managing tours for various bands. He detailed his experiences managing Eric Clapton's early tours, including memorable moments like touring Europe on a train with Eric Clapton and Muddy Waters, working behind the scenes for The Band’s final show, which became The Last Waltz. He also shared stories about managing the Bee Gees on their world tours, working with Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne (including planning their Maui wedding). Larry also talks about his philanthropic work, his many writing projects, and a whole lot more. This ais a fascinating look behind the scenes of some huge tours of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. And I want to thank our mutual friend, the incredible Mr. Simon Davies, formerly of Teen Cancer America, for connecting us. Check out Larry’s book on TCU Press.

Johnny Iguana (The Claudettes)
This guest is NOT a musical chameleon. He’s a Johnny Iguana. And he’s the keyboardist/pianist for Chicago’s The Claudettes. They have a jaw-dropping new album coming out in June.But we start by talking about his early work. He’s got an unusual reason for starting piano lessons. Johnny talks about early bands and how he began playing for one of his heroes. He reveals why he left that gig and how he started The Claudettes. He tells me how the band got their name, working remotely for a high profile company for two decades before it became cool, and playing with two singers before Rachel Williams joined the band. Johnny talks about scoring for the hit show, The Bear, the importance of chord changes and we answer the age old question of “What makes post punk different from punk”? Give them a follow on socials. Go to theclaudettes.com for more information and links and preorder the new album, Garage Glamour. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials.

Daniel Rachel
This episode is a little different. It’s still about music, but from a very particular perspective. My guest is author Daniel Rachel. He’s written some fantastic books like Isle of Noise (about UK songwriters) and The Lost Album of The Beatles. His latest release may be his most controversial. It’s called This Ain’t Rock ‘n’ Roll: Pop Music, The Swastika, & The Third Reich. In it, Daniel explores the fascination musicians have had with Nazi imagery, symbolism, and paraphernalia. There are some connections you’ve probably heard of, like Jimmy Page and Lemmy. But there are others that you might not be aware of, like The Human League and Nick Cave. Daniel and I talk through how the British, especially in the 60’s and 70’s, used symbols as a way of mocking Nazi-ism. We also talk about a seeming resurgence in the symbolism, particularly through artists like Kanye West. The book gives facts and tells stories. But, importantly, it lets the readers draw their own conclusions. It was a fascinating read, especially if you like music & history. I recommend picking it up. It’s available from Akashic Books at https://www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/this-aint-rock-n-roll-pop-music-the-swastika-and-the-third-reich/ Follow Daniel @danielrachelauthor on Instagram.

Patrick Michot (Duskseeker, Rougarou)
Today’s guest is a legacy and I’ve had many of his family members on the show. Welcome Patrick Michot to the podcast. Patrick may come from a legendary Louisiana zydeco family but he’s forging his own path while paying homage to his family’s legacy. So this is NOT a zydeco episode. I’m so thankful that Patrick’s cousin, Louis Michot, introduced me to the music. It’s been a wild journey, listening to a cajun version of black metal. But that’s not all he does. How do ocarina and classical guitar covers of video game music sound to you? I KNOW! I thought it was awesome, too. I’m only scratching the surface here. If you like dichotomy, Patrick is your guy. He started playing triangle at age 3 in his father’s zydeco band. He switched to guitar and got into black metal. He moved from Louisiana to Dallas-Fort Worth and has been immersed in the black metal scene there for years. He’s even gotten recognition from one of his musical influences! He’s played in some non-metal bands. In fact, he made a suggestion in one of them that MAY have gotten him kicked out of the band! This is a heavy, fun episode. I’m hoping you all enjoy it as much as I did. Go to extraterrestrial.network to get all of Patrick’s projects, contacts, and social media pages. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials. Merch is at performanceanx.threadless.com. Money for coffee can be sent to ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety.
