You're the one that should be worried. You're a freak.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Ron Scalzo checking in from the shadows and spoon feeding
you another episode of eleven on the Independent Minded podcast
My Broken Brain is only the bandwidth to do one
long form interview with a new guest every month, So
I've been doing this whole eleven thing to turn you
on to some indie gems often buried deep below the
wasteland of more popular music, not to mention at the
(00:50):
bottom of the inboxes of music industry taste makers and
podcast producing audio files like me. Who am I? No
one important, just the guy who listened and liked it
and wanted to tell my friends and loyal band of
podcast love and freaks that there's still good music out
there if you just dig a little deeper and find
the time to listen with intention. We hear an Independent
(01:12):
Minded recognize that that's a tough sell these days, but hey,
that's the hope, and you gotta have hope. A dozen
years and one hundred and forty seven episodes later, I'm
grateful to still be here to spread some love, spread
some rumors, and spread open this box of Halloween donuts
I bought. While we hear from some of the artists
(01:33):
who made these eleven new songs and get some insight
on how they were made.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Who Sprinkles.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Five six, seven eight.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Hello, If you like bananas with your grooves, you've come
to the right place. We're gonna kick eleven off with
a nightcap. The Denver Colorado Trio fuses soul, jazz and
funk on their debut single, Platanos. It's an instrumental jam
made by three cats who probably listened to a lot
of Herbie Hancock growing up. Dig these sense man blat
(02:07):
Onos was born during the pandemic, but it feels straight
out of the score of a late eighties indie film,
and it makes me want these self proclaimed best friends
to cover the theme to night Court. Next, here's keyboard
player Ian Gilly to tell us how these bananas came
to be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Ron?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
This is Ian, appreciate you bumping the new tune. We're
real stoked about it. We're proud of it. They kind
of started as a voice memo on my phone. Josh
and I used to live together back during COVID. Adam
used to come over and record all of his various
projects there. One night, I'd kind of pulled up this
voice memo on my phone down in the basement and
(02:45):
was like, Yo, what y'all think about doing this? Hadham
put that little that bounce to it, and then we
(03:12):
kind of developed the song over some time. I mean,
obviously the cod was a few years back, so we
spent that time, you know, really honing it in. But
shout out to Fairman on all that making this thing
really come together, being the glue making it sound super sick.
It's got like this real good blend of genres. I
feel like it's got a little bit of hip hop,
got a little bit of trap, got some fusion vibes
going on. So real stoked about how it came out.
Speaker 3 (04:03):

That's the Lombardo family, Paul and Dave, otherwise known as
Venna Morris or is it Vena either way? In the
Shadows is the new single The portos head meets David
Lynch vibes make for a perfect platter to be released
on one of my all time fave indie labels, Hip
ACAC Recordings, home of Mike Patton, Spotlights and Melvin's if A.
(17:01):
CACS set to release the sophomore Vena Morris album in
twenty twenty five. Before that, Dublin Ireland Rockers sprints with
a new single, Feast Out Now on City Slang. We
heard Vermont post punkers Thus Love with on the floor,
the opening track to their sophomore LP, All Pleasure, out
November first, and we kicked off the long set with
(17:23):
Nightcap and Platanos, the trio's debut single out now on
Perception Records, with a debut LP scheduled for release in
early twenty twenty five.
Speaker 16 (17:35):
If you can see Yeah, the numbers will go to eleven.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Canadian indie label Arts and Crafts is home to some
of my faves, Japandroids, Jacques Green and Andy Schaufe, among others,
and this band Ambigase, who were poised to release their
second album, Shame on November five. Here's the band's Daniel
Monkman to talk about the inspiration behind the newest single
from Shame, the groovy social justice fantasy City Trials.
Speaker 25 (18:10):
The song city Trials, to me, it came from watching
a documentary about the opiate epidemic, just watching all these
pharmaceutical companies get away with destroying communities.
Speaker 26 (18:25):
So in my mind I always fantasaid about these people
like being put on trial or something. I always thought
that it would take like a city to like put
these people on trial, everyone to come together to make change.
I think that's just something that everyone hopes for.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Says try.
Speaker 27 (19:05):
See try, child, sit try, You'll know where you make up.
(19:33):

Speaker 11 (23:55):
Real don't want to be bi.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Us That Saint Louis indie rock band Foxing with Gratitude
(26:24):
from their new self titled album out now on Grand Paradise.
It's almost baffling how good this record is. Highlighted by
schizophrenic aggression, singer Connor Murphy's passionate wailing, and moments of
hypnotic beauty that don't just exist from track to track,
but within some of the tracks themselves. Genre mashing is
kind of Foxing's trademark, and this new album feels like
(26:47):
the best execution of their considerable talent. I featured the
epic eight minute post rock track Greyhound a couple months back,
and I'm also quite fond of Hell ninety nine, which
sounds like a deep cut on a soul glow, a
system of a down or even a refuse album. But
this is a band that can also do moody, introspective
and sometimes downright poppy. And if you watch the brilliant
(27:07):
video for Greyhound, you'll see they've got a sense of
humor too. Kudos to you, Foxing, Kudos. I got five
more coming out of the break, including new singles from
a trio of indie rock heavyweights, a Montreal band with
the song that so long it had to be released
in parts, and a former Independent Minded guest returns to
tell us about a joyful new song that celebrates most
(27:28):

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Five sixty seven eight, Hello.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
In twenty eighteen and what Feels Like About three lifetimes Ago?
I interviewed Rebecca Habland and her husband bass player Chris Anderson,
at a noisy bar and grill in downtown Washington, DC
for episode eighty eight of Independent Minded. Rebecca's still going
(28:55):
strong with her band Whiskey Heart and delivers a new
retro sounding foot stomper. It pays homage to the nitty
gritty late night rock and roll Shenanigans of Lower Manhattan,
an area of New York City where I myself wet
my chops at clubs like Cony, Allen High, the Elbowroom,
the Lions then, and of course CBGB. Nowadays, all those
spots are either condos, drug stores, or clothing shops. But hey,
(29:19):
you can't stop progress. Here's Rebecca to tell us about
why she's so fond of Monday nights.
Speaker 28 (29:25):
I really wanted to write a song with a heavy
riff and like an Elvis Costello meets the Strangler's vibe,
like super old school New York with you know, a
don't give a blank attitude. The lyric and production of
the song really captured the vibe and inspiration behind the
entire EP, so I thought it was like a perfect
song to release.
Speaker 16 (29:44):
First.
Speaker 28 (29:45):
It's about the old music scene in New York, a
time when you could go out on Monday nights also
known in the New York music scene as musicians Night
Off and just like bang around on Bleaker Street or
in the East Village hanging out at different music venues
and meeting up with friends. You could catch so many
any killer bands you know, and play your own show
and people would come out and support you. Every club
would just feel like still alive and inspiring, and you know,
(30:07):
you could just really feel the musicians and the audience
like feeding off of each other and getting inspired by
each other. This is the New York that made me
who I am, And even now twenty years later, the
city has changed a lot, but it's still my favorite
night to play a gig or go out and see music.
A couple of cheeky things about the tracking of the tune.
We doubled that awesome riff with some very saxophone kind
(30:28):
of snuck in there, which was really cool. Paul Lauren,
the producer of the track, really crushed this whole record,
especially this tune.
Speaker 21 (30:47):
Me nice fun moment, Devil every thing tell you leading.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Waiting everything name.
Speaker 3 (31:20):

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Nay?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Where this room use your less?
Speaker 16 (33:27):
What we do is if we need that extra push
over the cliff. You know what we do put it
off to a thatvin exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I know now that I can't make good. How shock could.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
Go back?
Speaker 18 (34:20):
Camput me were used to.
Speaker 29 (34:29):

Speaker 9 (41:33):
The optimist swears hope dies last and shoots the lamp
lad clean from the break man's hand. It's always the
(41:57):
darkest right, he'd be for the end. And you could
say that no one here really believes in the future imperfection,
(42:30):
that things aren't what they seem, like a sucker with
a scratcher.
Speaker 33 (42:37):
Like a fuck up with a dream, stabbing at the ashtray, like.

Father John Misty with scream Land off his forthcoming album
mahash Mashana, out November twenty second on sub Pop. Before that,
sown Lux with Risk of Make Believe, the title track
from the band's forthcoming EP, out in late January on
City Slang. Boney Ver is back and sounding as boney
and every as ever with Spaside off the much anticipated
(48:27):
new EP Sable, out October eighteenth on Jag Jag You Are,
and we kicked off the long set with Rebeccah, Habland
and Whiskey Heart and Monday Nights. The new self released
single is out now. Montreal's You Do Right is gonna
take us to eleven. Fans of bands like Explosions in
the Sky, Magua, Tangerine Dream and Godspeed You Black Emperor
(48:50):
should take notice of this post rock outfit set to
release their third full length November eighth on Mothland Spirits
Heavy but Not Overthrown Part two. It's not just a
perfect pretentious post rock song title. It's also a magnum
opus that takes hard left turns, complete with delicate drones,
restless rhythms and monolithic riffs.

You're the one that should be worried. You're a freak.
You're reading for beg Trouble.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Ron Scalzo checking in from the shadows and spoon feeding
you another episode of eleven on the Independent Minded podcast
My Broken Brain is only the bandwidth to do one
long form interview with a new guest every month, So
I've been doing this whole eleven thing to turn you
on to some indie gems often buried deep below the
wasteland of more popular music, not to mention at the
(00:50):
bottom of the inboxes of music industry taste makers and
podcast producing audio files like me. Who am I? No
one important, just the guy who listened and liked it
and wanted to tell my friends and loyal band of
podcast love and freaks that there's still good music out
there if you just dig a little deeper and find
the time to listen with intention. We hear an Independent
(01:12):
Minded recognize that that's a tough sell these days, but hey,
that's the hope, and you gotta have hope. A dozen
years and one hundred and forty seven episodes later, I'm
grateful to still be here to spread some love, spread
some rumors, and spread open this box of Halloween donuts
I bought. While we hear from some of the artists
(01:33):
who made these eleven new songs and get some insight
on how they were made.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Who Sprinkles.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Five six, seven eight.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Hello, If you like bananas with your grooves, you've come
to the right place. We're gonna kick eleven off with
a nightcap. The Denver Colorado Trio fuses soul, jazz and
funk on their debut single, Platanos. It's an instrumental jam
made by three cats who probably listened to a lot
of Herbie Hancock growing up. Dig these sense man blat
(02:07):
Onos was born during the pandemic, but it feels straight
out of the score of a late eighties indie film,
and it makes me want these self proclaimed best friends
to cover the theme to night Court. Next, here's keyboard
player Ian Gilly to tell us how these bananas came
to be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Ron?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
This is Ian, appreciate you bumping the new tune. We're
real stoked about it. We're proud of it. They kind
of started as a voice memo on my phone. Josh
and I used to live together back during COVID. Adam
used to come over and record all of his various
projects there. One night, I'd kind of pulled up this
voice memo on my phone down in the basement and
(02:45):
was like, Yo, what y'all think about doing this? Hadham
put that little that bounce to it, and then we
(03:12):
kind of developed the song over some time. I mean,
obviously the cod was a few years back, so we
spent that time, you know, really honing it in. But
shout out to Fairman on all that making this thing
really come together, being the glue making it sound super sick.
It's got like this real good blend of genres. I
feel like it's got a little bit of hip hop,
got a little bit of trap, got some fusion vibes
going on. So real stoked about how it came out.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
As the.

That's the Lombardo family, Paul and Dave, otherwise known as
Venna Morris or is it Vena either way? In the
Shadows is the new single The portos head meets David
Lynch vibes make for a perfect platter to be released
on one of my all time fave indie labels, Hip
ACAC Recordings, home of Mike Patton, Spotlights and Melvin's if A.
(17:01):
CACS set to release the sophomore Vena Morris album in
twenty twenty five. Before that, Dublin Ireland Rockers sprints with
a new single, Feast Out Now on City Slang. We
heard Vermont post punkers Thus Love with on the floor,
the opening track to their sophomore LP, All Pleasure, out
November first, and we kicked off the long set with
(17:23):
Nightcap and Platanos, the trio's debut single out now on
Perception Records, with a debut LP scheduled for release in
early twenty twenty five.
Speaker 16 (17:35):
If you can see Yeah, the numbers will go to eleven.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Canadian indie label Arts and Crafts is home to some
of my faves, Japandroids, Jacques Green and Andy Schaufe, among others,
and this band Ambigase, who were poised to release their
second album, Shame on November five. Here's the band's Daniel
Monkman to talk about the inspiration behind the newest single
from Shame, the groovy social justice fantasy City Trials.
Speaker 25 (18:10):
The song city Trials, to me, it came from watching
a documentary about the opiate epidemic, just watching all these
pharmaceutical companies get away with destroying communities.
Speaker 26 (18:25):
So in my mind I always fantasaid about these people
like being put on trial or something. I always thought
that it would take like a city to like put
these people on trial, everyone to come together to make change.
I think that's just something that everyone hopes for.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Says try.
Speaker 27 (19:05):
See try, child, sit try, You'll know where you make up.
(19:33):
You know where you have at you meveryth you know
you know where you have but you know why you'll
make up?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You you mean it?
Speaker 22 (19:51):

Speaker 11 (23:55):
Real don't want to be bi.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Us That Saint Louis indie rock band Foxing with Gratitude
(26:24):
from their new self titled album out now on Grand Paradise.
It's almost baffling how good this record is. Highlighted by
schizophrenic aggression, singer Connor Murphy's passionate wailing, and moments of
hypnotic beauty that don't just exist from track to track,
but within some of the tracks themselves. Genre mashing is
kind of Foxing's trademark, and this new album feels like
(26:47):
the best execution of their considerable talent. I featured the
epic eight minute post rock track Greyhound a couple months back,
and I'm also quite fond of Hell ninety nine, which
sounds like a deep cut on a soul glow, a
system of a down or even a refuse album. But
this is a band that can also do moody, introspective
and sometimes downright poppy. And if you watch the brilliant
(27:07):
video for Greyhound, you'll see they've got a sense of
humor too. Kudos to you, Foxing, Kudos. I got five
more coming out of the break, including new singles from
a trio of indie rock heavyweights, a Montreal band with
the song that so long it had to be released
in parts, and a former Independent Minded guest returns to
tell us about a joyful new song that celebrates most
(27:28):

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Five sixty seven eight, Hello.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
In twenty eighteen and what Feels Like About three lifetimes Ago?
I interviewed Rebecca Habland and her husband bass player Chris Anderson,
at a noisy bar and grill in downtown Washington, DC
for episode eighty eight of Independent Minded. Rebecca's still going
(28:55):
strong with her band Whiskey Heart and delivers a new
retro sounding foot stomper. It pays homage to the nitty
gritty late night rock and roll Shenanigans of Lower Manhattan,
an area of New York City where I myself wet
my chops at clubs like Cony, Allen High, the Elbowroom,
the Lions then, and of course CBGB. Nowadays, all those
spots are either condos, drug stores, or clothing shops. But hey,
(29:19):
you can't stop progress. Here's Rebecca to tell us about
why she's so fond of Monday nights.
Speaker 28 (29:25):
I really wanted to write a song with a heavy
riff and like an Elvis Costello meets the Strangler's vibe,
like super old school New York with you know, a
don't give a blank attitude. The lyric and production of
the song really captured the vibe and inspiration behind the
entire EP, so I thought it was like a perfect
song to release.
Speaker 16 (29:44):
First.
Speaker 28 (29:45):
It's about the old music scene in New York, a
time when you could go out on Monday nights also
known in the New York music scene as musicians Night
Off and just like bang around on Bleaker Street or
in the East Village hanging out at different music venues
and meeting up with friends. You could catch so many
any killer bands you know, and play your own show
and people would come out and support you. Every club
would just feel like still alive and inspiring, and you know,
(30:07):
you could just really feel the musicians and the audience
like feeding off of each other and getting inspired by
each other. This is the New York that made me
who I am, And even now twenty years later, the
city has changed a lot, but it's still my favorite
night to play a gig or go out and see music.
A couple of cheeky things about the tracking of the tune.
We doubled that awesome riff with some very saxophone kind
(30:28):
of snuck in there, which was really cool. Paul Lauren,
the producer of the track, really crushed this whole record,
especially this tune.
Speaker 21 (30:47):
Me nice fun moment, Devil every thing tell you leading.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Waiting everything name.
Speaker 3 (31:20):

Speaker 16 (33:27):
What we do is if we need that extra push
over the cliff. You know what we do put it
off to a thatvin exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I know now that I can't make good. How shock could.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
Go back?
Speaker 18 (34:20):
Camput me were used to.
Speaker 29 (34:29):
Nothing's really something now the whole thing, sir, It serves

The optimist swears hope dies last and shoots the lamp
lad clean from the break man's hand. It's always the
(41:57):
darkest right, he'd be for the end. And you could
say that no one here really believes in the future imperfection,
(42:30):
that things aren't what they seem, like a sucker with
a scratcher.
Speaker 33 (42:37):
Like a fuck up with a dream, stabbing at the ashtray, like.

City Slang. Boney Ver is back and sounding as boney

new EP Sable, out October eighteenth on Jag Jag You Are,
and we kicked off the long set with Rebeccah, Habland
and Whiskey Heart and Monday Nights. The new self released
single is out now. Montreal's You Do Right is gonna

the Sky, Magua, Tangerine Dream and Godspeed You Black Emperor
(48:50):
should take notice of this post rock outfit set to
release their third full length November eighth on Mothland Spirits
Heavy but Not Overthrown Part two. It's not just a
perfect pretentious post rock song title. It's also a magnum
opus that takes hard left turns, complete with delicate drones,
restless rhythms and monolithic riffs.

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose.
