This week, we kick off our most ambitious series yet – it’s the music of New Wave. We dove deep into the archives for classic interviews that encompass the “twitchy, but tuneful” music of the early ‘80s. And for this episode, Christopher and Tom welcome former Spoons keyboardist (and Broadway music director) Rob Preuss! Rob is a New Wave geek who was not only in the middle of the explosion of new music, but he worked with, toured with and talked with some of the biggest names of the genre. And he has GREAT stories to tell!
Among this week’s crop of New Wave artists…
So many synths! So little time! Enjoy part one of our celebration of New Wave!
Special shout-out to our friend Rob Wells, who created a synth-y version of our theme music. Thanks Rob! Check out Rob's podcast - "Women In The Music Industry"
