the interview show: Tyrow James

Tyrow James is a fellow Surrey boy, so when he emailed me about his new record The Brass Knuckles Effect, I knew I had to have him on the show. Tyrow likes to make tracks that are a dangerous mix of Beastie Boys and Dayglo Abortions. He tells me The Brass Knuckles Effect is a break up record and a document of the last hellish year of his life.
No matter what you think about rap rock or hip hop break up records, Tyrow James is a local character worth checking out.
Warning: This show is not for the faint of heart. :) It is a hip hop interview after all.

Tyrow James “Bombsheel!” Tyrow says this is the best track his record.
Tyrow James “Get Rad or Drink Trying”
Here is a link to his video for “Vanarchy” a track inspired by the Vancouver Riots.

Also, Tyrow is having a CD release party this week! Friday, December 23 at 9:00pm at Olympia Pizza & Restaurant in Surrey.
We are done for the year, so the interview show will be back before you know it with new shows. In the meantime we shall leave you with our favorites. Next week, my personal fav of the year… Skrillex!

the interview show: Me TalkPretty

When young Julia (above) first came to North America from her homeland (Romania), all she wanted to do was sing in a band. She sang in a pretty successful band in her homeland, so she thought she could just continue her music here. That should be pretty easy right? All she would need to do is find three or four like-minded people who could play some instruments… Well, it was not as easy as she expected. And this was only the beginning of the journey for Julia and her band Me TalkPretty. Tune in to hear her amazing story!
Strange band fact: Me TalkPretty is named after a David Sedaris book!

Well, 2011 is nearly done and we only have one more new show this year! Who will it be? Well, we are going local and I’ll give you a hint: It’s a Surrey Boy! See you next week.

the interview show: Raleigh

If you ask the guys in the Calgary-based band Raleigh what their name is about, you might get a few different answers: the bike Brand, the city in North Carolina, or Sir Walter, to name a few. They call themselves a “prolk” band (prolk = progressive + folk) and they have an undeniable cool girl-guy duo vocal thing going on over songs that flourish like slow moving waves.
This week, I get into a little “he said, she said” when I ask the band’s core Clea (holding the sign) and Brock (in blue) for their story and I find out everything there is to know about Raleigh.

the interview show: Bonjay

Toronto-based Bonjay are an interesting duo. Talented singer Alana Stuart almost signed a big record deal, until she found out they wanted to make her over into “Donna Boogie.” Instead, she found DJ Ian “Pho” Swain at a party and Bonjay was born. Bonjay‘s music starts at dancehall, but veers off somewhere different. They are both strongly committed to creating something new. You have to respect that.

Bonjay “Jamelia” (Caribou cover)
(If you listen carefully, you can hear Diamond Rings talking in the background of this one. For such a quiet guy in these interviews, he is sure loud in others.)
