From the Vault: Episode #15 of the Taking the Lead Media Podcast. Original release date: 03/03/2011.
"Featured on this episode are some indie rock, punk,
and pop tunes. Great tracks by The Please & Thank
Yous, the Power
Pellets, The
Slats, Super Bowl Rocket Ship,
and Citycop. A few of these bands have some
shows lined up this month, so be sure to check out their
respective websites or
the (finally) updated Shows section for
more details. On this episode are The Please & Thank
Yous from Chicago. They've been around for four years
and have two releases out. Check out their bandcamp for more great
tunes. Another great band, but no longer around, are
the Power Pellets. I've been listening to
these guys for a while now, but never had the good fortune to see
them live. I think the first time I ever heard a bass guitar solo
was on their track, Classmate, another great song by
them. The Slats come from Minnesota, a
band of many sounds, playing garage rock tunes to experimental
stuff. Really fun to listen to. Super Bowl Rocket
Ship is a four piece from Nashville, TN. They have a
great set of jams and hopefully release more material this year.
They also have one the coolest band-names ever. If the guitarist
for Citycop played with an electric
guitar, it'd change the whole dynamic of the band's sound. But it
still sounds pretty rad with an acoustic. Another band to
definitely check out. They also have a bunch of shows coming up
this month too. Wish I could make it to one of them.
- Also, I decided to put the Shows section back
up. Lot's of shows this month, with a great one coming up on
St.Patty's Day (And I'm sure a few others in different cities). And
I'm sure a bunch more shows considering it's Spring Break this
month.
Once again, thanks to all the listeners
who've downloaded episodes and visited the site. It means a lot.
Please enjoy the new episode. Thanks for listening."
