SMI Radio Ep. 37 On Demand: Tyrannosaurus Grace, Chamberlin and The Juliettes

This week I feature interviews and music from Tyrannosaurus Grace, Chamberlin as well as an interview with Julie Mains, lead singer from The Juliettes, 

I spoke with Timmy from “T-Grace.” He talks about the band’s newest release, what it is like to collaborate with the group’s newest members and upcoming shows with some popular Seattle bands. I had the opportunity to interview the band this past summer while filling in for my friend Darrell Fortune on the Northwest Convergence Zone. You can hear that interview here.

In the second half of the show I speak with guitarist Ethan West from the Vermont quintet, Chamberlin. Ethan talks about opening for Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and the inspiration behind their music. Also featured is some of the group’s music, which includes a very interesting version for a very popular hit song.

In the third segment I speak with local singer / songwriter, Julie Mains, Julie currently fronts the group The Juliettes. The group produced and recorded the official theme song for the Rat City Roller Girls and produced a video with a very strong message. (See Video Below) The group is currently working on their new record entitled “Clutch the Pearls” and are raising money on Kickstarter.com to finish the post production. You can donate to the project here.
