Episode 33 - Zipper Club

This episode features Rob Turner and Seth Weiner each giving their review of the 2017 Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The hosts discuss the festival and the performances of acts like LCD Soundsystem, Sylvan Esso, Great Peacock, Saint Motel, Hamilton Leithauser, J. Roddy Walston and The Business, Warpaint, Bleachers, Phoenix, Ryan Adams and more. Then we hear an interview Weiner and Turner conducted the same weekend with the three core members of Zipper Club. We hear how the band’s debut tour was with Tears For Fears. Mason James relates how important his years with Cerebral Ballsy were, and the significance of having a punk ethos in general - whether it means expressing yourself fully, or pissing people off or both. Lissie Trullie explains how her Emory professor father’s record collection initially turned her onto music, and how she has been inspired going from writing alone in her own band to collaborating in this one. Drummer Damar Davis chimes in at well, discussing his early days as a musician, and bringing forth effusive love of Led Zeppelin and a stylin’ diversion to a question about the mysterious origins of the band’s name. Among the many other topics are the band’s songwriting plans moving forward, their interest in improvisation, working with Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha and the band’s, apparently very serious problem with parking tickets wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds (wonderdogsounds.com) Inside Out w/ Turner and Seth: insideoutwtns.com Twitter: @InsideoutWTNS Instagram: www.instagram.com/insideoutwtns Facebook: www.facebook.com/insideoutwTnS Hosted on Acast.
