The boys are in the Temple this week and there really wasn’t much to talk about, since it was a slow news week and all. Ha. We talk about what’s driving this country insane, but before we do, there are a few things we need to catch up on. Also, a little bit of Mongolian Throat Singing!
This week has sucked. Issues have happened on both of our fronts to where we couldn’t do the show on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, we’ll probably get into that more next week. So instead of leaving you guys high and dry, we are replaying an episode from almost 7 years ago when we sat down with the KMFDM family and had a little interview at Gas Monkey Live. This is one from the archives, so sit back and enjoy. We’ll be back live next week!
This week has been a particularly crazy week for the JJTM boys, so the decision to release Tuesday’s show a few days late was to hopefully allow the previous KMFDM episode a little room to breathe. But in taking the extra time to edit this episode we’ve come to the conclusion that almost every band on Do For It Records is completely nuts. Like, straight jacket crazy. In Memory of Man is no exception to this discovery, these boys are rowdy and fun, and exactly what we need after this long weekend. This episode is crazy, chaotic, and a little bit all over the place, but was a whole lot of fun to do.
These guys are pretty busy, so be sure to checkout their website and facebook for details of when they will be playing next.
Sunday Matt and I got to sit down with one of the got to sit down with The Kapt’n, Sasha of KMFDM as they rolled through Dallas and played Gas Monkey Live. If the big four of thrash/metal are Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth then the big four of industrial/electronic music have to be Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and KMFDM. I have been a huge fan of KMFDM since my angst fueled years in junior high, and I’ve been fortunate enough to hangout with the band the last few times they have rolled through North Texas. But on Sunday we spent 10 hours at the venue, hanging with the band and road crew, watching the inner works of a complex live show. The episode is a little chaotic because shortly after we started the interview, the tour manager came by and needed the guys for soundcheck. So we did a little mini show with Matt ‘Robotuner’ Thomas and as soon as soundcheck was complete, Sasha joined us again to finish it out. The second half is an absolutely fascinating insight to the world of KMFDM, the bands history, and life on the road with family. I really hope you guys enjoy it! -Dustin
