Baxie speaks with Steve Barton from Translator! While most people will remember the band from their 1982 hit “Everywhere That I’m Not” the story behind Steve’s career is absolutely incredible! Steve has just released a new collection of singles that he’s released 25 years called "Juggling Lightening: The Singles Collection". Meanwhile, Liberation Hall records has just released a previously unavailable live recording from Translator’s final show before breaking up in 1986! The name of that new album is called, "Beyond Today: Live at The Farm, San Francisco 1986". And oh yeah, Steve is also working on his ninth solo album which is expected to come out later this year! But that's not the half of it! The story behind Steve's career is nothing short of amazing! Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app!

Baxie welcomes back Barry Andrews from Shriekback! Barry has just released Shriekback’s 18th album, “Monument!”. Barry not only talks about the album, but he also talks about starting the band in mid-80’s with the late Dave Allen (former bass player with the Gang of Four) who died last month at the age of 69. Barry (the former keyboard player and original member of my favorite band-XTC) talks about the idea of aging, touring, playing solo, and about his very specific thoughts about releasing his music! Great catching up with one of music’s true originals! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on all Rock102 digital platforms! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

Baxie welcomes back Mark Burgess from The Chameleons! The Chameleons have just released their 2nd EP over the last ten months (“Where Are You” and Tomorrow Remember Yesterday”). These two new releases represent their first batch of new music since 2001. A new full-length album is due later this year. The Chameleons are one of the great yet most overlooked bands of all time. If you know The Chameleons, then you know what I’m talking about out. If you don’t know them—you need to. They were a band that could have (and should have) been in the same conversation with the likes of The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, and The Cure. Instead, they chose a different path. You can hear more about that in my interview with Mark Burgess from May of 2024. This time we talk about reforming the band, recording new music, and the power of their live performances over the years. The Chameleons are coming to Big Night Live in Boston on April 30th. Just a magnificent band. And I don’t throw that word around lightly. Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and on all Rock102 digital platforms! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Baxie talks to Detroit rock legend Loren Molinare from The Dogs! The Dogs were a band that were contemporaries of The Stooges and the MC5 but were unfortunately blackballed for playing too loudly—louder than Iggy and the Stooges!!!! Loren has great stories that include opening for Bob Seger, meeting Kiss on their first day in New York, and sharing management with Van Halen! Loren’s latest project is with the band The Slamdinistas. Their latest album, “Wild and Restless”, will be released on April 25th. It’s an absolute blast! Just an amazing guest!

Baxie talks with singer/songwriter Eef Barzelay from the band Clem Snide. Eef is about to release the band’s tenth album on May 2nd entitled Oh Smokey.

Clem Snide will be coming to the Warehouse in Somerville on April 10th and to ConnArtists in Southbury, CT on April 11th. Absolutely amazing!

It's a SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE as Baxie talks with drummer Richie Onori and keyboardist Stevie Stewart from Sweet! Sweet’s history is a long and complicated one. On one hand it’s a band that sold more than 35 million albums with classic hits like Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, and Love is Like Oxygen. Since then, three of the original members formed their own separate versions of the band—often operating at the same time. In 2008 original bass player Steve Priest formed his own versions of the band. Sadly in 2020, Steve Priest died at the age of 72. However, both Steve Priest and his family bestowed the responsibility of curating the Sweet’s legacy to Richie Onori and Stevie Stewart. They not only continued as Sweet they’ve also recorded new material. It’s an incredibly interesting story. One that offers a new take on what it means to keep a rich musical heritage intact.

On top of this Keith has also been a longtime radio host on Hair Nation and Ozzy's Boneyard. Keith talks all about that plus his longtime collaboration with the late David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls and many others (having appeared on more than 50 albums over the last 25 years).
