Show Notes
Today we talk with Detective - a collective of musicians, singers, songwriters and friends. In 2019 they released an album showcasing the range of their skills - from Blaxploitation to eerie sci-fi synths, this group really does it all!
We discuss Detective's influences, favorite movies and technique's they used to arrange the album. We also talk with Josh Breeden, aka St. Francis Elevator Ride, the "visual maestro" of the group. Josh brings video and digital art and design, driving the whole band's film noir and horror aesthetic.
Come out to Black Lodge on Friday, March 18th 2022 for the entire experience.

Today on the show we speak with Iceberg New Music about their upcoming show at the Beethoven Club in Memphis, TN.
Memphis-based Charlie Davis (Trash Goblin, Detachment Kit) and David Johnson (James and the Ultrasounds, Tall David) met in Governor's school in 1998. Late night jams and decades long friendship resulted in the creation of Recent Future. Their respective artistic mindsets meld into bleeding edge synth punk that is both danceable and doom-laden - great for dancing your way into the uncertain, recent future.
Dr. Artina McCain joins us today on Sonosphere. Dr. McCain curated the Mahogany Chamber series in partnership with PRISM ensemble and Crosstown Arts. The series is about bringing voices to the stage you don't often hear. The first one was around poetry and music, second was supporting MLK holiday and the next one features rhythms from around the world.
