Episode 42: Dream Nails The James McMahon Music Podcast

    • Music Interviews

I recorded this episode, with ‘punk witches’ Dream Nails - their words not mine - back in January. A lot has happened since then. Some of it bad. Some of it very bad. Some of it very, very, very bad. But some of it pretty good too. The London based riot grrrls have just been announced as the support to 90’s alt gods Pearl Jam and the Pixies at their big summer London show this coming July. They’re also off on tour with the fast rising Nova Twins – who themselves are coming to this podcast soon - oh, and with COVID restrictions becoming less restricted, the songs from their excellent 2020 released self-titled debut album - released on friends of Spoook, Alcopop! Records - are finally going to be aired live. 

Should we live long enough to hear them, of course.  
I thought it about time to connect with a band I’ve enjoyed the output of for years now, and so had a conversation with new-ish vocalist Leah Kirby and bassist Mimi Jasson. We talk about drag, the concept of priviledge, how fucking weird auditioning for a band can be. And moose.
