Stella and the Very Messed

Hello friends! Stella Maxwell from Austin, indie/art-rock band, Stella and The Very Messed returns to the show for episode 1514! Their latest album, Big Familiar is out this Friday, September, 19 on all streaming services on Double Helix records. They'll be celebrating with a release show at Soundspace at Captain Quack's this Saturday, September 20th with special guests Tearjerk and Molecular Steve. Go to stellaandtheverymessed.com for show info, music, videos, and more. Stella and I have a great conversation about making Big Familiar and creating with her band, writing songs as a "grown up", being a mom, her time in her family band, Cruiserweight, being an entertainer in the insanity of 2025, the strangeness of "Mutton Bustin'" (children riding sheep in the rodeo), the healing power of music, staying creative, and much more. I had a great time catching up with Stella. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down! Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you pod.
