The second half of my long political, musical and philosophical conversation with two local musicians and journalists. Zach's band can be followed here: facebook.com/trashloaf

Three fourths of The Jangle Sheep discuss our universe and evolution. We are heading into the studio to record our second EP in early 2016. Look out for announcements in the coming months. For now, check out our debut EP, which was reviewed favorably in News4U: texastandthejanglesheep.bandcamp.com

The first of two episodes with my fellow journalists and musicians. Zach Evans' new band Trash Loaf has begun playing shows in the Tristate area. Keep a look out for those. Jesse Rininger and I have begun producing video content and will begin collaborative productions in 2016. The conversation dips in and out of music, philosophy, politics and science, as is common.

The second and final portion of my conversation with keyboardist Nathan Jochum of Evansville band Trash Loaf. You can follow them and see when and where they're playing next here: https://www.facebook.com/trashloaf

Local musician Nathan Jochum, formerly of The Waywards, stopped by to talk about his new band, Trashloaf. This is part 1 of 2, and a so far unnamed two-piece band that rents at the jam room can be heard in the background of this first episode.

My bandmate in The Jangle Sheep sat and talked with me about the Syrian refugee crisis. This gets pretty political, more music-centered episodes begin in early December.

On a ride to Evansville, Jesse and I discuss some political issues and local media.

Nate and I converse about the videos we are making on the ride home from a shoot. We talk about the videos themselves, getting interrupted while trying to shoot scenes and local media production.

Tell City duo Charms Voormann and I discuss their new album, future recordings and the sonic nuances of their music before the conversation turns to television and some political/philosphical issues. Their music can be found here: https://charmsvoormann.bandcamp.com/

Independent mayoral candidate Steve Wozniak took some time to explain his plans for Evansville which consist of utilizing long existing landmarks and employing long overdue tactics to revitalize the pocket city.

My Jangle Sheep bandmates hung out after practice to talk developments in our band and local music type stuff. I tell a story about a creep at a bar. You can follow us @texastjangle or listen to our music: texastandthejanglesheep.bandcamp.com

Jake Tapley and Nigel Meyer of local band Wax Astro stopped by to speak on their new album, their transformation from Go Nuclear and their new sound. You can follow them at https://www.facebook.com/WaxAstro/ or @waxastroband Their new album can be found here starting tomorrow night: https://waxastro.bandcamp.com/

The Evansville-based band Reed Four stopped by to talk music (including their multiple upcoming releases), live show details, and also some paranormal and space stuff. The best place to learn more about them (and listen to their music) is reedfour.com.
