I'm excited to feature the first official live band session on my Apr. 29 radio show with Seattle indie folk / pop quartet Ivan & Alyosha!
For the record, the distinction of the first ever live musical performance on my show belongs to a solo Phillip Gregory, representing Seattle indie / power pop quintet Carousel. Find out more about them on facebook or myspace.
Carousel's debut EP Love And War [Museum Records] was one of my favorite releases of 2009. That Nov. live interview with Phillip was truly a memorable session for me. I'm proud to be friends with the guys in Carousel, and I very much look forward to hosting the band another time, as I know they are hard at work on their first full-length album, to be released hopefully in 2011.
It seemed like good timing to invite Ivan & Alyosha this week, as the band is opening (along with Seattle chamber pop group Grand Hallway) for another up-and-coming Seattle indie folk / pop vocal sextet, The Head & The Heart, at their sold-out Apr. 30 Seattle concert.
Back in Feb., I conducted a phone interview with I&A's founding member Tim Wilson. The band has released 2 EPs (The Verse, The Chorus [Cheap Lullaby Records] {2009} and Fathers Be Kind [Missing Piece Group] {2011}). They will be opening for another great singer / songwriter, Brandi Carlile, at select west coast cities in May, and are also working on their first full-length CD.
Join us, won't you, Fri. Apr. 29, 8:30-10:30 pm PST, on KSER!
