    The Interview Show with Local Natives (podcast edition) #295

    I chilled out backstage at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom with Taylor Rice and Kelcey Ayer from Silver Lake, Los Angeles, indie rock band Local Natives. It was the first night of their Spiral Choir Tour 2019 and they were on the road to promote the new record, Violet Street. It's always great to hang out with bands on the first night of a tour. Everything is fresh, everyone is well-rested, and bands are excited to hit the road to see their fans again. While we chatted, opening act Middle Kids finished their soundcheck and Taylor and Kelcey admitted they hadn't even met Middle Kids yet. Where does the tour title "Spiral Choir Tour" come from? Which song is about Taylor's relationship with his wife? How does Kelcey's partner feel about him writing about her? Does the new record Violet Street focus on "the unsung upkeep of relationships?" What is an "emotional check in" and how do they keep Local Natives a well-functioning band? What gross habits did Taylor and Kelcey have when they lived together in that band house, Gorilla Manor? Why does the band post all their song stems on their SoundCloud page? What is the band's secret pre-show ritual? You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the podcast edition of the show... 1) Local Natives, Violet Street (2019) "When Am I Gonna Lose You" 2) Local Natives, Violet Street (2019) "Megaton Mile" 3) Local Natives, Violet Street (2019) "Tap Dancer" 4) Local Natives, Sunlit Youth (2016) "Dark Days" (featuring Nina Persson) 5) Local Natives, Gorilla Manor (2010) "Wide Eyes" 6) Local Natives, Violet Street (2019) "Shy" NO songs CANCON

    The Interview Show with 36? (radio edit) #294

    36? started as Taylor Cochrane's solo project when he was a teenager. As he says, "36? emerged at a very difficult and incomprehensible time in my life. I existed in a constant state of medically induced psychosis. I wrote and recorded songs on a daily basis, a mechanical imagination running wild in a zombie suit. Appearing as a hazy shell of a human being to the outside world, a blank dead eyed slate sitting at the back of the classroom, but on the inside I was in a constant state of creation." 36? has evolved since it's 2006 beginnings and now Taylor has folded many of his Calgary music scene friends into the band. They've recently released a new record Milk Mountain. The last time 36? were in Vancouver, I had a few drinks with Taylor and his new bandmates Kerry and Laura Hickli. When I brought up one of the first songs Taylor wrote for the project "So what if I feel like bondage?" it turned out Kerry and Laura had never heard the song before--so I get their reaction after hearing the track for the first time! How do you pronounce "36?" Why does Taylor find it strange observing the many ways people move on from a broken heart? How did Taylor cope with his mental health issues? Why record a piano version of a punk rock song like "So What?" You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the radio edit of the show... 1) 36?, Vic single (2019) "Vic" 2) 36?, So what? single (2019) "So what?" (piano version) 3) 36?, love.hate.bondage (2006) "So what if I feel like bondage?" 4) 36?, Milk Mountain (2019) "I think my dog knows I'm high" ALL songs CANCON
