I was lucky to get an interview with Stephen Butler of The Smash Palace. We talked about the new release “Some Kind of Magic” and please ignore my ignorance about the order of album releases, as I was pointed out that “Extended Play” and “Live at The Auction House” came out before the last full LP “Do It Again”. We’ve been covering Smash Palace for years and we hope they continue to make great music.

The Power Popaholic Interview: Led Zeppelin 2
Where do you go to experience your favorite classic rock band once they’ve broken up? You get yourself to a tribute show and soak in the live sounds of a cover band that can do the original group justice. In concert, Led Zeppelin 2 delivers authentic renditions of classic Zeppelin material, as well as recreating the live improvisation & onstage dynamics that earned Led Zeppelin their legendary status for performing, even satisfying diehard Zep fans. I got to chat with drummer Ian Lee, read the interview here!
Led Zeppelin 2 will be performing in Wantagh, NY on Thursday, August 6 at the Nikon Theater at Jones Beach and in Holmdel, NJ on Sunday, August 16 at the PNC Bank Arts Center. More info at http://www.ledzeppelin2.com/
The Power Popaholic Interview: Terry Manning
Terry Manning tells me all about his new album Heaven Knows, and his transition from recording engineer to performer. He also gives me exclusive insight with his friendship with Chris Bell (Big Star) and one of the most interesting recording sessions he’s had. Read the interview with Terry Manning here.
The Power Popaholic Interview: Jonathan Rundman
We reviewed Jonathan’s album “Look Up” earlier this year, but I wanted to get the inside scoop on a man who’s gone from Finnish folk to rock and roll. Rundman’s been a musician for a long time, so this was a very insightful interview. Read about the Jonathan Rundman interview here.
The Power Popaholic Interview: Linus of Hollywood
In case you missed it Linus of Hollywood has a new album out called “Something Good,” and we highly recommend it. I had a good long conversational styled interview with Linus about his career in music. He started with the band Size 14, to Nerf Herder, playing with Roger Manning, Jr. and other members of Jellyfish. It’s been over 8 years since his last album so we talk about some of the new songs too. Enjoy!
