Podcast 8 - Putting the SKA in AlaSKA
Scott “SKA-T” Emery and “Like a Chocoholic, but with booze” Justin Somaduroff of the godfathers of local music, Nervis Rex, stopped by to put the ‘rude’ in Rude Blender Radio. Regulars of more venues that I care to list (hail be to Humpy’s), this venerable act has been at it for over a decade bringing the best ska wherever they go. We discuss the past, present and future of the band as well as the multitude of highly talented musicians that have come and gone. Interestingly the band appreciates the dynamic shift that new members bring to the show and are open to the possibility of adding new members as others move on. If you’re a local musician who, ya know, doesn’t want to get a real job, give this show a listen; you may very well have a shot at being part of the local music legend.
We also wanted to send out a special congratulations to Don Cosgrove who wasn’t able to make it into the studio due to the birth of his daughter the previous day. You rock, Don!
This is a pretty good show… considering 2 out of 3 of us were hungover. A lot of nostalgia going on in this one. If you haven’t caught a Nervis Rex show yet, DO IT!!
