The Redscroll Podcast

Sean & Pete of Mineva joined us to talk about their band and food and lists of favorites. Yep, that pretty much covers it.  There's talk of milk alternatives, the amount of guitar pedals they have in their home, some bad experiences on tour and a bunch of sound clips are meshed into this one (including a fun Simpsons reference that almost became their band name).  Plus we drop some quick knowledge...

We talk to Mark and Ben about the history of Manic Presents. We dig into an archived show list and talk about some specific landmark shows and some with fun footnotes and anecdotes.  We talk about how much Manic has grown from its Manic Productions past to its current incarnation as part of Premier Concerts; the journey from booking in small rental halls to currently booking at Cafe 9, Space Ballr...

We talk to Sean B. about his move from Meriden, CT to Austin, Texas 5 years ago and what he's been doing there - like working at End of an Ear. We also talk some real deep inside baseball centered around a Billboard article that went up July 16th - the day we recorded. At the end we get real light at the end spitting out suggestions for Top 5 lists and Connecticut in general!  Billboard Article Li...

On this episode of the Redscroll Podcast we talk with Rick Omonte. We brought him on this time (third time!) to talk specifically about his passion project that's occupied much of the last decade (more accurately about 7 years); it is a compilation entitled "Puro Tayta Shanti" that is now out on Discos Shaki with Little Axe Records.   Instead of filling this space with the insight Rick Omonte brin...

Stefan and Dave of Seventh Circle Promotions stopped by. Seventh Circle puts on shows in the area including upcoming shows with Marissa Nadler & Stephen Brodsky and Jesus Piece and Sanction among others.    We talk about all the shows they have coming up, some road-bumps when doing shows in the past, and about lizards and cats and such. Y'know, life.     Music Rundown Opening Song: Marissa Nadler...

Dakota, Danny & Liam of Kidnapped joined us for this episode of the Redscroll Podcast. We talk about what we're all listening to before jumping off into the wild world of touring the midwest - in the most broad sense of what that could mean.  Danny gives many shout outs - one of which I back-mask multiple times. Dakota loves the Deftones. Liam and Danny plan a trip to Mexico with a new band that g...

Sam & June of Space Camp join us on this episode of the Redscroll Podcast. We talk about the cacophony of sound that is their band's music.  We talk about playing a wake board fest and eating fast food and how one day the band will be fully automated and a bunch of other fun offbeat topics.  Songs played: Opening Space Camp "Righteous Dollar Bills" Inevitable Demise (Howling Frequency) Josh's List...

On this episode we talk to Dan Manning who helms the project, Reduction Plan. We talk about the music we're all listening to.  We talk about Dan being from Bethel, CT and how that informed his current musical proclivities and why living in Brooklyn makes the most sense for him today - including working for Terrorbird Media and how that commute is shrunk tenfold.  And we go on from there.    Playli...

Rich has been involved in the music and arts of the southeastern corner (Mystic, New London & Old Lyme specifically) of Connecticut since his youth.  [caption id="attachment_4736" align="alignleft" width="590"] Rich Martin / The Telegraph Logo[/caption] Rich opened a store, The Telegraph  (TelegraphNL on social media),   as an extension of his record label i...

This episode brings us to the origins of Redscroll as a label and in general with Mikey Daddona who currently resides in Oakland, CA and runs Ratskin Records - a haven for experimental artists ranging from leftfield pop & soul to harsh noise. Ross Menze also accompanied Mikey on this trip and though he was not the focus of the conversation we didn't ignore him; Ross plays in Headroom, Mountain Mov...

On this month's episode we talk to John Bastone. If you've been to a Record Riot (there's about 8 of them currently - record fairs that occur in Cromwell, New Haven, East Hartford, Trumbull, New Jersey...) then you've most likely seen John and very likely heard him.

We talk about his radio show and current dealings in general.

We talk to Dan & Joe Katz about their bands past and present (notably, Spit-Take), about their D.I.Y. show space (Never Get 2 Be Cool), other musical musings and a little sports (so very little). And we talk about what we're currently listening too!  The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (first of the month going forward) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingfor...
