Episode 2 Scott Colburn :: "330,003 Crossdressers From Beyond The Rig Veda"

From the cold, calculated catacombs of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta since 2001, a spiritually sophisticated system of songs, esoteric emotions, and liberating legends lurks in its sinister shadows. It's a safe assumption that when you think of Seatlle in the 1990s, bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden come up, but what about the Arizona-based collective and institution of intensity, Sun City Girls? After relocating to the Emerald City, bringing along with them the adopted audio wizard Scott Colburn, the band began the next chapter of their sonic story by effortlessly diving into the ethereal ecosystem of the singing subconscious with one mission, and one mission only, to conjure the melodies of madness and murderous meditations of music. After meeting the band on their first tour with local legends JFA in 1984, Colburn not only became the group's biggest fan but a lifelong friend and brother as their irresistible influence and alchemical approach to art shattered the universe with unparalleled expression. Since 1993, Colburn has single-handedly documented every project the band produced, leading up to the untimely departure of drummer and spiritual scientist Charles Gocher Jr., who passed in February of 2007. From "Kaliflower" to "Jacks Creek," Colburn was there ready to capture the lysergical lightning in a biblical bottle at any cost. On this episode of "The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast," we sit down with Colburn to explore the band's 1996 masterpiece "330, 003 Crossdressers From The Rig Veda." A subliminal installment in the band's legendary landscape of sound and melodic madness, join us as we return to the epic ethers of the album's feverish fibers to unlock the meditative mysteries, techniques, and cosmic concepts of this truly groundbreaking body of work.
