Justin Curry, Bobby Tanzilo & Mike Gomoll — 40 Years of Friendship, Del Amitri, and the Road to America

This one's different. Instead of a standard interview, Joey's Song founder Mike Gomoll talks with two friends of nearly 40 years: Justin Currie, lead singer and songwriter of Scottish band Del Amitri, and Bobby Tanzilo, senior writer for OnMilwaukee.com — for an unfiltered hour of stories, music talk, and old-friend needling. It starts with the origin story: Del Amitri forming in a Glasgow school in the late '70s, and the band's scrappy 1986 U.S. tour — sleeping on couches and floors (including Bobby's parents' place), busking outside Irish Fest for gas money, and stretching $10 across an all-you-can-eat salad bar to survive the road. That tour is where Bobby and Justin's friendship actually began, after years of trading handwritten letters through the band's manager. From there the conversation ranges everywhere: how touring America cracked open Del Amitri's sound and songwriting, favorite tracks from the catalog, the band's upcoming U.S. tour and new album, and enough tangents, dad jokes, and mutual roasting to remind you this is three old friends catching up as much as it is an interview. Whether you're here for Del Amitri or discovering the band for the first time through Joey's Song, it's a warm, funny, and surprisingly candid hour — and a great intro to the charity's mission of funding epilepsy research along the way.
