when we were in austin we had the honor of interviewing the miserable rich lead singer, james de malplaquet.
watch the video below to see the miserable rich perform and hear james talk about how the band came together, how he feels about musicians who tell their audience to “shhh” while they are performing, and how they came up with their band name.
I woke from a night of Irish whiskey drinking to a throat that was pained to swallow. My dear friend, Toby, sent me along my way with two packets of Emergen-C to drink with in my day. He also asked me “Do you want a banana?” I knew it was going to be a good day. Friends that care about and influence your well being are beneficial to have around. Friends that unintentionally push your play button and endure your raspy, slightly hung-over, under the weathered version of the whimsical Tally Hall song “Banana Man“- I would say you should try to keep them around as long as they’ll stand you.
Tally Hall is responsible for a bulk of my amusement. Whether I am serenading the empty pub in the morning when I sing along to their album, Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum (MMMM) as I open, or I’m locked into the latest episode of the Tally Hall Internet Show (THIS).I met with with these creative souls on my last trip to New York. I separated from my crew and braved the subway alone to meet Andrew, Zubin, and Joe in Williamsburg. We walked to Union Pool for some beers and a beseeching place to conduct our interview. I learned they moved there to be around more culture and artistic happening. Joe missed the Earthen Jar’s delicious food, professors talking about interesting things and the nature in Michigan, but relocating to New York seemed to be the band’s natural progression… To read full story go here.
We have featured Griffin House on the show a couple of times so we are thrilled to bring you all his newest video. Enjoy!
The Drews went on a field trip to a nifty place called London where we saw lots of great bands like Wolf Parade, Beach House, and Jana Hunter. But our favorite performance was the one below by Artur Dyjecinski. The first couple of minutes are a short interview and the rest of the video is Artur performing a new song called Whistle Out Of Me. Enjoy.
but it has everything to do with off-the-shizzle-fo-rizzle-my-nizzle-ness.
