If you are a fan of the local rock scene, you have no doubt heard of Trepid. Their latest album, "In Henry We Trust," is a raucous roller coaster that delivers exactly what you'd expect, and the first single, "Rust," now has a brand new video!
Congrats to the Trepid gang, who reinvented themselves with a new singer and drummer and came out on top in the latest Homegrown Picks of the Week poll.
It's a Louisiana showdown! We're keeping it very local this week with two bands that have never before been part of the Homegrown voting and one that knows Homegrown Picks very well (now with a new singer and new recordings). Vote for your favorite once a day, and then listen for the winner to pop up in the rotation next week on the coolest rock station around, 99x!
No, that's not a new band name...that's what tonight's show is all about...complete and utter chaos! Because we had so much fun on last weekend's show, I asked Trepid to come in to guest host tonight...and it really has ended up being the "Trepid interviews the Moulin Dudes" show...
My guests on tonight's show...TREPID!! We'll be chatting about the upcoming Halestorm/Adelita's Way/Black Tide show, which they're opening...and lots of totally random, crazy, ridulous and hilarious other topics. I'll have a couple of tunes by them...
Trepid was one of the first bands I met when I started doing the Homegrown show. Since then, I've probably had the group in the studio more than any other band I've interviewed. The t-shirt I'm wearing today is one of two that I own. Why did I choose this one...
Have you gotten a Facebook friend request from Henry Gote...but you're not sure who he is? HE is actually...a GOAT! He's the mascot for Bossier City band Trepid, and owned by one of the band members.
Rumor has it the band gives free goat rides at all their shows. If you've been to the Riverside Warehouse lately, you've probably seen the poster for the show tonight, featuring Trepid, Forever Falls
Two guest bands on tonight's show...Trepid and River Blindness! Trepid is playing two shows this coming weekend, so we'll be talking about that...and other random stuff. And River Blindness is playing the Riverside Warehouse Saturday night, along with The Agony of I and Sylo...
Had a great time at last night's Homegrown Live show at the Riverside Warehouse! Pretty nice turnout to see Soul Solution (from Oak Grove, LA), my friends in Trepid, and Lillian Axe (featuring new vocalist Brian Jones). I got a sneak peek at LA's set list before their set...
My apologies to everyone who was listening to Homegrown last night...I ran an interview with Tish Meeks with 3 Kisses, and late last evening I found out that the band will NOT be on this Friday night's Homegrown Live lineup. The drummer they had hoped would be permanent decided to quit...
Find out here!! I interviewed several members of the Louisiana Chapter of the Knights of Thor (I'm a member, too!) I've separated this into four parts, to make for easier listening.
