This week on the Zen Perry Project we get the chance to talk to Barrett (Guitar/Vox), Nacho (Bass), and Cole (Drums) of SLEEPWELL, a supremely badass genre-defying act ascending out of Brooklyn.

This week on the Zen Perry Project, Zen & Michael have a conversation covering topical headlines from across the music industry. Will this format become a staple segment of a burgeoning exploration of the business - or will it land with the thud of a St. Anger tuned snare?

-Trent ...

Appearing like relics sa...
This week on the Zen Perry Project, we’re joined by Tom, Zach, and Sebastian of the Nashville based stoner metal band HOWLING GIANT.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
