Geekscape 693: The Hollywood Geek Rock Scene Of The 90s and 2000s!

from Geekscape · host Geekscape

"Once grunge, pop punk, and alternative rock went mainstream in the early ‘90s, local music burst into vibrant micro-scenes that stretched from Santa Monica to East LA, the Valley to the South Bay, and beyond. Among them was a Hollywood Geek Rock contingent" that included bands like Weezer, Nerf Herder, That Dog, and more... and their influences are still felt today. Some have even been Geekscape guests! Joining us on Geekscape are two people who were there to see it happen: writer/rocker S.W. Lauden (Ridel High) and Jason Cropper (Chopper One, Weezer) to talk about the "geek" rock scene that changed the face of music as documented in the new oral history book and album 'Generation Blue'. I'm joined by TV writer Eric Ernst, the self-professed "biggest Ridel High fan" I know! Pick up a copy of 'Generation Blue' here!
