CW, JY & RW

CW, JY & RW

This episode we are speaking with one of the top performers in Rock History! He is know for his song writing, guitar playing amazing vocals, founding member of the band Styx. He is an all round amazing, fantastic guy: James “JY” Young. We caught up with JY while he was making a brief and we mean brief stop in Los Angeles.  

JY talks about the early days of putting the band together, Bo Diddley being one of his major influences. Growing up in Chicago and the different bands and types of music that influenced him. And why he got a degree in Aerospace Technology. JY tells us his history with the current band members and how he and the guys take care of themselves while going on the extensive tours each year! And he talks about why the band didn’t accept the offer to headline the US Festival in 1982. We also discuss how Mr. Roboto was the downfall to the band breaking up on the 80’s. Plus James fills us in on touring with Ted Nugent and his take on the band getting into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. And all the amazing bands that he saw as a kid!

*****************************************************************************************

Show Notes:

First off, WOW! Thanks so much for JY

There is a point in the conversation that JY is talking about Billy Bob Thornton. JY mentions “Ladd”. This is in reference to Jim Ladd who use to be the night time DJ at KLOS Radio where both Rita and CW worked.

JY’s winning prize from the Bonus Round.

Show - 003 Dramarama - John Easdale - Lead Singer & one of the founding members

This episode we are speaking with one of the founding members and the lead singer John Easdale of Dramarama. John was kind enough to drop by our studio to talk about the history of the band, the break-up and the reforming of the band, how drugs played a part in his life, what it’s like having Bruce Springsteen open for you and his love of music. Dramarama has been around since the mid 80s and has had such hits as, Last Cigarette, Wonderamaland, Haven’t Got A Clue, Everybody Dies, Scenario, Some Crazy Dame and the biggest that is still played everywhere: Anything Anything!  If you haven’t heard of Dramarama, or even if you have, you are in for a real treat.

SHOW NOTES:

This was our very first show we recorded. We did do the bonus round with John at the end of the interview, although, we weren’t giving out any prizes at the time because it didn’t hit us. Don’t worry John, we will send you your prize!

The bands new album was suppose to be released in 2019 (as John mentions in the interview) but unfortunately, it has been delayed, so check their site in early 2020 for updated information, In the meantime, you can check out Dramarama’s new songs:
