    Episode 26: Garrett Bond

    Hi, welcome to “As an Artist.” A Local Famous Records podcast about local artists, their art, the creative process and the local scene. My name is Anthony Sosa and thank you for joining us. On this episode we have my longtime friend and bandmate Garrett Bond. Garrett and I have known each other for over 20 years and have played in multiple projects together. I’m excited to finally get him on and have a great conversation. We cover all sorts of things like his musical influences and getting into playing music. We talk about Denton in the mid 2000’s and his joining The Raven Charter and eventually his other projects over the years, including Crown Lucia, 411 and most recently Double Bear and Temporal Distortions. He also gives us a run-down of his bass collection. Always fun and kick-ass, I introduce to you Garrett Bond.   “El Shotgun” link https://tidal.com/album/488313052/u  Double Bear Link Tree https://linktr.ee/DoubleBear Double Bear Bandcamp http://doublebear.bandcamp.com/  References: Far East Coast Luthier: https://www.instagram.com/fareastcoastluthiery/            www.thedallascreativecollective.com  The Red Hot Chili Peppers - All Around the World https://youtu.be/NlP2lvUneAU?si=qUHjUM7Bg2JImKpW  The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe https://youtu.be/X-o8eGhKhlI?si=nO79ebVQotVCVe6r  Saving Your Own -  Cherub’s Cry https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1P6VudiBUu49fsufnANrJvlDQjZflLwmi?usp=drive_link TONY FRANKLIN SIGNATURE FRETLESS ( on Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill) https://youtu.be/HYwNM1t9ltI?si=DKWgHLk-a5g2fPJi  Temporal Distortions - Class Struggle  https://youtu.be/YXYBoW2QpbA?si=RaBF6k8GhlqJ8uxl  Dream Theater  Stream of Consciousness https://youtu.be/nJE9-TjYArs?si=9Ec9zKCsEUCAdlxJ  The Raven Charter - Sacrifice  https://youtu.be/M_o5cn6Claw?si=6tuCm-Qj9rxaNQan  The Raven Charter - The Kidnapping https://youtu.be/9OmxinTapXk?si=-mhBWcstiV3zNHbQ  The Raven Charter - Edge  https://youtu.be/zsL8IoTyCT0?si=Y5vcga7kHOKwQWC8  Panther City Rebellion Podcast Ep.2  Double Bear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRtSV8rMWAo  Double Bear - Free and Easy https://tidal.com/album/488313052/u    If you would like to be interviewed please reach out to @localfamousrecords on Instagram and Twitter and localfamousrecords@gmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Instagram @as_an_artist_pod Theme song “Ascension” by Codecrasher  https://codecrasher.bandcamp.com/releases  https://linktr.ee/localfamousrecords www.localfamousrecords.com

    Episode 19: Wolves Reign

    Hi, welcome to “As an Artist.” A Local Famous Records podcast about local artists, their art, the creative process and the local scene. My name is Anthony Sosa and thank you for joining us. On this episode we have Eric Lara, Moose Mora and Johnny Hill from the epic, local, heavy progressive band Wolves Reign. I’ve actually had the pleasure of playing with Wolves Reign back in the day with The Raven Charter at Tomcats West and it was great to get to know these guys, their past and how they tick. Last year they released their first full length album: “Human Nature.” A meaningful, beautiful and hard hitting record recorded with Alex Gerst. I really enjoyed talking to Eric, Moose, and Johnny about their processes and influences and how they all met at college and how though there have been changes over the years, these guys have been playing together the whole time. Eleven years and counting. We talk about what that means to them, as well as get into some gear talk and a bit about the making of the album. I hope you enjoy this conversation and at the end of the podcast you can experience Wolves Reign and sample 2 songs from their new record:  A World With No Risk (01:10:30), and   Deer Lord (01:16:55) , so stick around at the end.  You can check out Wolves Reign at: Badncamp:https://wolvesreignband.bandcamp.com/album/human-nature  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxC2cdRyRSlVYWhxCK66kdQ  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wolvesreignband/  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1hUvOWO516gy7iXljWsqze?si=AExRHZwkQZS9-pn3h01Mvg  Wolves Reign on the Local Famous Records Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoUo1LcT9KY  If you would like to be interviewed please reach out to @localfamousrecords on Instagram and Twitter and localfamousrecords@gmail.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @as_an_artist_pod Theme song “Ascension” by Codecrasher  https://codecrasher.bandcamp.com/releases  https://linktr.ee/localfamousrecords www.localfamousrecords.com
