Last Wednesday night I stopped by The Workshop (the recording studio on the corner of Johnson Street/North Street) to interview Shinky and the rest of the Shazy Hade gang (Eric Geving, Eric Hartz, Dave Hunt, Mark Sinnott), about their upcoming show with The Black Diamond Heavies and Ron Franklin. After about 10 minutes, one local music veteran after another stopped by unexpectedly to talk. The audio below is a 25 minute edited podcast including interviews with:

1. Darwin Sampson (Owner of The Frequency)
2. Matt Joyce (Grizzlies/The Midwest Beat)
3. Alex Fulton (The Runners-Up/Grizzlies)

Subjects Discussed:

1. The Frequency looking like O'Cayz
2. Why old people like us still rock out
3. The real reason Matt Joyce and Shazy Hade went their separate ways
4. The New Shazy Hade vs. The Old Shazy Hade
5. The Workshop
6. Analog vs. Digital recording
7. Shinky namedropping his old friend, Travis from Okkervil River
8. The wave of the Madison music scene
9. What band Shinky doesn't mind saying he hates
