Episode 5 Marc Masters :: "On Tour w/ The Girls"

Arizona-based music journalist Marc Masters has contributed to several notable platforms over the years, like Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, The Wire, and NPR Music, and has even published his own books, "No Wave," and, most recently, "Hi Bias: The Distorted History Of The Cassette Tape." A brilliant writer whose dedication to the collective culture of sound and its harmonious history is just as inspiring as the greats who laid words to paper in the decades prior, Masters' voice and style are entirely his own as he graces the alchemical airwaves for another episode of "The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast - A Sun City Girls Story."

A fan of the band since the early days of tape trading and mail-ordering, Masters, along with his brother, followed the band on an early 2000s run, documenting every performance along the way. From Philly to Boston, New York to DC, Masters takes us on an epic escapade through the captivating catacombs of the band's iconic impact on culture, while simultaneously exploring his unique connection to their all-encompassing economy of esoterica, and much more.
