Episode #170, Interview with NAIVE

Hello Hello Hello! This episode features my interview with Sasha “ChaCha” Ivanov, the leader of a legendary Russian punk band called НАИВ / NAIVE. They are the longest running Russian punk band and I’ve known them for about 15 years, therefore it was a truly great success when I found out that НАИВ is coming to Vancouver to play a show. We spoke about their new album “Populism”, amateur approach to songwriting, Sasha’s side project RadioЧача and their cover of Nerf Herder’s song “Pantera Fans in Love”. I had way more questions prepared for the interview, but we decided to hang out instead. And in the end of the show I did a ticket give away to Neighborhood Brats, Piss Test, Fashionism, Criminal Code @ Astoria.
