Interviews with Chris Walter and Tom May (The Menzingers)

1:00pm - 2:00pm

Hello Hell Hello!

2 interviews in this episode! The first one was done over the phone with Chris Walter, the author of SNFU biography “What No One Else Wanted To Say”. That’s a brilliant book which tells in-depth story of one of the best Canadian punk bands ever. The book launch party is on Saturday @ Funky Winkerbeans, with SNFU performing live!

Second interview was with Tom May, co-vocalist/guitarist of The Menzingers. The band is on tour with The Bouncing Souls and both bands are playing in Vancouver on Monday, July 23rd @ Venue.

Wish me luck! I’m going to 6 shows in 6 days! Not sure if I survive that, but I’ll try my best:
July 19, Strung Out @ The Biltmore
July 20, The Spits, NEEDLES//PINS, B-Lines @ Biltmore Cabaret
July 21, SNFU and Chris Walter Book Launch @ Funky Winkerbeans
