SPECIAL Episode - Interview with Chuck Askerneese of The Untouchables

Surprise Surprise Surprise! It's another special episode! I had the great honor of interviewing the amazing lead singer of The Untouchables, Chuck Askerneese. During our conversation we chat about his experience first discovering music; how he, his brother, and their friends entered the counterculture scene of LA in the late 70s; the early beginnings of The Untouchables; and their inevitable creation of Wild Child, one of our essential albums from 1985. Please join us where we dig into the ska genre itself, the burgeoning ska scene in LA in the late 70s and early 80s, how they found their unique sound, and eventually become one of the very first, and most foundational, ska bands in the United States. The Untouchables have been a force in the American counterculture movement for decades and have collaborated with and influenced so many of the greats in musical history. Let's all come round and listen to this bounty of amazing stories!
