Bax & O'brien Podcast

Baxie speaks with Steve Barton from Translator! While most people will remember the band from their 1982 hit “Everywhere That I’m Not” the story behind Steve’s career is absolutely incredible! Steve has just released a new collection of singles that he’s released 25 years called "Juggling Lightening: The Singles Collection". Meanwhile, Liberation Hall records has just released a previously unavailable live recording from Translator’s final show before breaking up in 1986! The name of that new album is called, "Beyond Today: Live at The Farm, San Francisco 1986". And oh yeah, Steve is also working on his ninth solo album which is expected to come out later this year! But that's not the half of it! The story behind Steve's career is nothing short of amazing! Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie welcomes back Barry Andrews from Shriekback! Barry has just released Shriekback’s 18th album, “Monument!”. Barry not only talks about the album, but he also talks about starting the band in mid-80’s with the late Dave Allen (former bass player with the Gang of Four) who died last month at the age of 69. Barry (the former keyboard player and original member of my favorite band-XTC) talks about the idea of aging, touring, playing solo, and about his very specific thoughts about releasing his music! Great catching up with one of music’s true originals! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on all Rock102 digital platforms! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

Baxie talks with guitarist Paul Leary from the legendary Butthole Surfers! One of the most notorious bands of all time—Paul talks about upcoming live album “Live at the Leather Fly” and about their new documentary “Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt” which premiered this year at SXSW! He talks about the band, signing with Capital Records, and about playing live! On top of that we also get into his incredible resume of production work for bands like U2, Sublime, Weezer, Jane’s Addiction, and the Meat Puppets. And if that wasn't enough, we also talk working with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin! This was an amazing interview that you will not want to miss!

Baxie welcomes back Mark Burgess from The Chameleons! The Chameleons have just released their 2nd EP over the last ten months (“Where Are You” and Tomorrow Remember Yesterday”). These two new releases represent their first batch of new music since 2001. A new full-length album is due later this year. The Chameleons are one of the great yet most overlooked bands of all time. If you know The Chameleons, then you know what I’m talking about out. If you don’t know them—you need to. They were a band that could have (and should have) been in the same conversation with the likes of The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Cure. Instead, they chose a different path. You can hear more about that in my interview with Mark Burgess from May of 2024. This time we talk about reforming the band, recording new music, and the power of their live performances over the years. The Chameleons are coming to Big Night Live in Boston on April 30th. Just a magnificent band. And I don’t throw that word around lightly. Listen on Ap
