Episode 379: Pizza Nomads + Synth-Pop Dreams

Chef Zach Swemle and Marlee Blodgett are the dynamic duo behind the beloved Neapolitan-inspired La Morra Pizzeria. The pair met in NYC, and decamped for Charleston, SC, where Zach built a mobile pizza oven from the bed of trailer. La Morra then developed a fast and dedicated following. A year later in the summer of 2017, they rolled out of town and headed to Los Angeles where they’ve been wowing the masses with their slow-fermented dough and wood-fired pies. Dev Ray is the solo project from California native Devin Ratliff, former member of dream-punk bands So Many Wizards and Tomemitsu. Dev Ray’s debut 2017 single was a moody synth cover of The Pointer Sisters’ classic, “I’m So Excited”. We catch up with him at Dangerbird Records’ studio where he gives us a live listen to his newest songs.
