Not many artists are as versatile as Ken Stringfellow. Power pop fans will know him for his work in the Posies and The Orange Humble Band, his own solo projects and part of the revival of pop legend Big Star. I was thrilled to get to interview him. We talk about his move to Paris, his involvement with Cheap Star, his new band The Disciplines, and even touch on his appearance at the upcoming Charlotte Pop Fest later this week and his time with REM. The opening clip here is “Definite Door” from the album “Frosting On The Beater.” Listen to the entire interview streaming (21 minutes).
UPDATES: For those who would like to read a written transcript of my interview with Matthew Sweet, you can check it out on power pop reviews, power pop and rock and roll opinions. Power pop and even more power pop and rock and roll.
Yeah well, I just needed a Posies song here… call me a lazy sound editor.
odd that you'd start the interview with a jon auer song, rather than a ken stringfellow song. 🙂
Check the Audities list… they are trying to gather people for a road trip I think.
