Surprise Cast #95 Soft Science, Desario, & Lavender Blush

We kick off the episode with introductions, as Ryan Lescure, John Conley, and Becky Cale share their roles within their respective bands. Ryan, the primary songwriter, rhythm guitarist, and vocalist for Lavender Blush, John, the singer and rhythm guitarist for Desario, and Becky, the bassist and vocalist for Soft Science, share their opinions on some interesting passages from the popular book, The Creative Act: A Way of Being, written by Rick Rubin, legendary music producer. 

The conversation then shifts to the main topic: The Jesus and Mary Chain. Each guest recalls when the band entered their lives and the impact it had on their musical journeys.We each select and discuss tracks from the band's extensive discography that have inspired them. Ryan's picks include "Taste of Cindy" ("that vocal, that start...I replayed that song for an hour", while John highlights "Darklands" ("the thick fuzz just single strummed guitar behind it"), Becky shares her love for "Almost Gold" ("both of their voices so dreamy").

As the episode progresses, anticipation builds for an upcoming show in San Francisco organized by Ryan ("I'm starting an enterprise...record label and Bay Area concert promoter") He reveals his plans for a series of theme nights celebrating legendary bands, starting with The Jesus and Mary Chain. John and Becky share their excitement for the show, hinting at special setlists and new merchandise. The episode wraps up with my call to action for listeners to attend the show and experience the vibrant SF music scene.

Join us for this engaging episode filled with music, memories, and insights. Whether you're a longtime fan of The Jesus and Mary Chain, shoegaze, dreampop or indie music this discussion is sure to resonate and inspire --it's good for the soul!
