Power Popaholic Interview: The Cyrkle

Don Dannemann of The Cyrkle

I had a strong reason for making this interview my longest. The Cyrkle, with Don Dannemann as their frontman, have a long and illustrious history, and they’re still going strong! Hear Don tell the story of how Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, signed them as his only American band. I ask all about the Fab Four’s tour, and what its like to hang out with the Beatles at the height of their fame. The new album titled “Revival” has been released.

🎸 Read the review here. Listen to the band’s original first big hit here:


Power Popaholic Interview: Richard Davies

Richard Davies (Cardinal, The Moles)

What an interesting chat I had with Richard Davies, Australian-born singer/songwriter who started with The Moles and later joined multi-instrumentalist Eric Matthews to form the duo Cardinal. We drop a lot of names (Robert Pollard, Wayne Coyne, Ray Davies), and he even asks me a question. He’s dropped out of a music career, and then came back. He will be touring with Guided By Voices this summer. Very cool. Check out his website: https://www.themolesband.com/
