Scene Mom Says: AI Bands, The HITS Act & Devo

Time: ~31 min. It’s Episode 65! I’ve got a lot to say this week (I mean, I do every week.) I’m breaking down some big music news, including the strange rise of an AI-generated band and why I’m not here for it. I also dig into the new HITS Act that just passed—finally some good news for independent artists, but at what cost?  Plus, Fyre Fest is back in the headlines (yep), and Devo is getting a documentary treatment. I’m also sharing some music history highlights, a quick marketing tip, and as always, some fantastic music from several indie bands. Let’s go! LINKS:  SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER!  Get your merch!
