Car Con Carne James VanOsdol

Shortly after the release of the self-titled debut from Deep Tunnel Project, returning guest John Mohr comes on Car Con Carne to talk about it.  Besides John, the band is rounded out by:

Mike Greenless (TAR)

Jeff Dean (lots of things)

Tim Midyett (Silkworm)

We dive into the album at length during our chat. Also, if you have a “Chicago musician bingo card,” enough names get mentioned that you may walk away with a bingo just from listening to this episode.

 

John explains what the Deep Tunnel Project is in Chicago and how it ties into the band’s aesthetic approach.

 

As we chat on a rainy Thursday night, we enjoy Chicago dogs from Herm’s Palace in Skokie (3406 Dempster St.). 

 

See Deep Tunnel Project play a FREE in-store at Tone Deaf Records (4356 N. Milwaukee) on 5/11 at 3 p.m!

You open the door to the mudroom. 

The light comes on. 

Walking into the house, the kitchen light comes on.

Spotify comes alive with your favorite playlist. 

…maybe it’s not loud enough. 

One button from your phone or tablet cranks it up.

 

Your home is in sync with you. That’s what easy automation means. Experience seamless control over it all.

Chicago noise rock band Masonic Wave joined me for a chat outside Estelle’s (2013 North Avenue).

Bruce Lamont (vocals), Fritz Doreza (bass), Clayton DeMuth (drums) and Scott Spidale (guitar) talked about the new self-titled album, the band’s evolution, their other bands and the release show at Live Wire (4/13/24).

Thanks to Estelle’s (2013 North Avenue/Wicker Park) for the fantastic food (Big Beefy FTW).

4/26 (FR) Watermelon, Everyday Specials, Headless Honchos, Of Ghosts & Dust

4/27 (S) - Flesh Panthers, Miniskirt, Olivia and the Lovers, Speed Babes

Jared Rabin’s songwriting talent scored him the Grand Prize at the 2023 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Beyond that, you’ve likely seen or heard him mentioned by American Songwriter, Bluegrass Today, NPR and more. 

As he gets ready to play Madame Zuzu’s Acoustic Brunch on April 7 and SPACE (opening for John Hiatt) on May 6, we met outside Zuzu’s to talk about his songwriting and career.

Danielle Sines, Adele Nicholas and Rachael Farinella of Impulsive Hearts make a run to the border with me, as we do an interview outside the Taco Bell in Avondale.

As the third full-length, “Fit 4 the Apocalypse,” is about to be released (with a release show at Liar’s Club on 4/4/24), we talked about:

*The band’s evolution across the three albums

*The joys of Taco Bell, and the chain’s commitment and loyalty to Mountain Dew products.

*The occasionally-biting details behind some of the lyrics on the new album.

*The Motown influence on Impulsive Hearts.

*The unlikely story of how Rachael joined the band.
