Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kicksville #23
Q: At what point did the Cramps go into Technicolor?
Henry Rollins says the early Bryan Gregory and Nick Knox era had a classic black-and-white monster-film look, while the visual presentation became more elaborate around the second album.
Kicksville #23
Q: How did the Paul Bearers get together?
Crash Coffin began practicing country and rock and roll songs with a guitarist, then formed a band with other local players that became Neil Cawthon and the Paul Bearers.
Kicksville #22
Q: What is the secret to your success?
Kid Congo Powers says to keep doing the work, stay curious, and remain a fan of music rather than feeling that one has seen it all.
Kicksville #22
Q: What effect did Ritchie Valens have on the East LA groups, and how much of an icon does he continue to be?
Guerrero remembers neighborhood children taking up guitars and learning “La Bamba” and “Donna.” Valens's success, especially with a Spanish-language national hit, inspired Chicano musicians.
Kicksville #18
Q: OK, so here's the Fleshtones. When do you make your first record?
The first recordings with Marty Thou happened around 1978, with the 45 likely released by 1979; the band began gaining momentum after early gigs and signings.
