Bax & O'brien Podcast

Baxie talks to Jeff Jourard from the Hollywood Stars! Jeff talks about joining the band and about their incredible history. Created as the West Coast's answer to the New York Dolls, the Hollywood Stars were a band who recorded two largely abandoned albums in the 1970's. However, two of their songs were taken and recorded a couple of multi-platinum selling albums. ("Escape" which appeared on Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare and "King of the Nighttime World" which appeared on Destroyer by Kiss). Jeff's own career includes early stints with Martha Davis and The Motels as well as an early version of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers! Prepare yourself for an incredible story!

Baxie talks to legendary bass player Greg Norton from Husker Du! Greg opens up about playing in one of the most influential and important bands of the 1980's (and one of my personal favorites), Husker Du! He also talks at length about his outstanding current band, Ultrabomb (featuring Finny McConnell from The Mahones and Jamie Oliver from the UK Subs)! Ultrabomb has just released their second album "Dying to Smile". And to be honest, it's FREAKING OUTSTANDING! This was a real great chat with a guy that I've been following for nearly 40 years! Amazing! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

Baxie talks to biographer Simon Heaviside the author of "Destiny Stopped Screaming: The Life and Times of Adrian Borland". Adrian Borland and his band The Sound were one of the most criminally overlooked bands of all time. And Simon's new book looks into not only his rich musical history but also his tragic struggle with mental illness. It's a profoundly sad story of a man who was considered by many to have been a true musical genius. And the book captures all of it. Simply amazing!

Baxie talks to Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Chris Stein of Blondie. Chris is about to release his amazing new memoir, "Under a Rock" (available on 6-11-24). It's an incredible story of not only how the band went on to sell more than 40 million records with songs like "Heart of Glass", "The Tide is High", and "Rapture". It's also a story of a man who was literally in the center of New York City music and culture during the 1970's. Chris also talks very openly about both his struggles with addiction and some of the health issues that disrupted his career. He also talks his family and about his 50-year friendship with Debbie Harry. Just incredible! Available on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website.
