    Episode 10 - Cat Register

    Cat Register is an Orlando act featuring Gerardo on guitar, Matt on drums, and Adali rounding out the three-piece on bass. They play laid-back, mathy instrumental tunes full of charm and brimming with grooves, reminiscent of acts like Chon and Strawberry Girls. They currently have three self-produced projects out (a live EP and two singles) on all streaming platforms for your listening pleasure, and are hard at work recording a new, full-length LP with yours truly. Wanting to let go of the some of the behind-the-scenes responsibilities and focus more on creating the best tracks that showcase what Cat Register is and what they can do, Gerardo reached out sometime after this interview was recorded (right before their performance at the legendary Bat Ranch in Apopka, by the way) and recruited me to help with the production of the record. Get hype by checking out their previous work wherever you listen to music, and follow them at the links below to stay tuned in on the recording process. Cat Register is also performing this Saturday June 26th at the Henao Contemporary Center with fellow bands Raspberry Pie, Not Enough Space, and Michael Higgins (of the Forum), all put together by legendary supporter of the Central Florida scene Marshal Rones (aka Montgomery Drive).   Links to find all things Cat Register across the web: https://www.instagram.com/catregister/ https://www.facebook.com/catregister/ https://catregister.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/5rHQkqwsW7TRj6Tf4PZ5cj  https://music.apple.com/us/artist/cat-register/1463411150  Link to the Saturday June 26th show at the Henao Contemporary Center:   https://www.eventbrite.com/e/raspberry-pie-not-enough-space-cat-register-michael-higgins-the-forum-tickets-156366080155?fbclid=IwAR3X28ck6JD9t8YI2weq2rL2XY72-tMGenQuWz1ErkiEMFZsyb-922WROYg

    Episode 5 - Sad Halen

    For the longest episode (by 1 hour and 20 minutes, mind you) of Can You Colloquy, I got to chat with legendary shoegazers Sad Halen. They've been tearing up the Orlando scene for a few years now, rising from the ashes of previous project Joywise (with noisy, homebrewed recordings still on Soundcloud @Sadhalen) and as the brainchild of frontman Ziggy, gearhead extraordinaire, after making the harrowing trip from the Big Apple to the Sunshine State. Sarah and Ben joined after chance encounters in the Orlando area on bass and drums, respectively, to round out the lineup. United and ready to work, Sad Halen went on to release the "Frens" EP in 2020, their first effort together as the band you know and love today. It's grungey, its shoegazey; with slick production (through Bob Hershberger of Bob Audio) and the tightness you'd expect of three soulmates, the band slaps you in the face with slick grooves soaked in Busch. I had an amazing two hours recording this, and would have spent a hundred more talking with the awe-inspiring Sad Halen.   Check out their music video for Orange Blossom (featuring Ian McKool of .Org, fellow Orlando musician and CYC guest) and Big Sky Now below:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGUtp...​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbHD0...​  Follow Sad Halen on social media (I hear they're working on a new project dripping with FX and a sense of new direction) and check out their tunes:   https://sadhalen.bandcamp.com/music​ https://www.instagram.com/sadhalen/
