Dan Reed, the drummer for the indie-pop band Semprini, beams down to the planet for a visit with Ted Asregadoo. The band is fronted by Dan's brother Bob Reed. Both Dan and Bob were founding members of the '90s era grunge band, Overwhelming Colorfast. But now, the brothers have teamed with Dan Carr (MK Ultra, Creeper Lagoon), and Marty Schneider (Light Sleepers, The Midway Delta, Trip Wire) to form Semprini. The band's album was released on Bandcamp in February 2022. In this interview, Dan talks about their music, the music industry, future plans for the band, and even spotlights a few of their songs.
In the first installment of a semi-regular series, I reveal 5 essential alternative rock songs you've (likely) never heard before. As a self-proclaimed "music snob", I tend to fall in love with lesser-known bands, as I dive deep into their catalogs and search for the best songs that never see the light of day. These first 5 songs were meticulously handpicked and I can't wait to share them (and many more) with you. Each track gets a small intro/synopsis and then you get to indulge in the ENTIRE SONG here on the pod. I'm proud of this one. Enjoy. Featuring the bands: Big Wreck, Future Islands, Minus The Bear, Boy and Bear, Creeper Lagoon. LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE...ANYWHERE YOU GET PODCASTS!
Before Creeper Lagoon scored a minor hit with "Wrecking Ball" on their 2001 major label, radio-friendly alternative rock album Take Back The Universe and Give Me Yesterday, the band released a much more intimate debut. 1998's I Become Small and Go, co-produced in part by John King of The Dust Brothers, finds an even balance between catchy indie-pop, and more produced and layered tracks. Using a host of loops, oddball sounds, and other studio tricks gives tracks like "Wonderful Love" just enough earworm material to balance with the more subdued songs like "Sylvia." Unfortunately, the band can't hold up the momentum, and the album takes a noticeable dive in quality towards the end, but that doesn't erase what is a re-listenable record. Songs In This Episode: Intro - Dear Deadly 17:16 - Wonderful Love 20:23 - Sylvia 24:04 - Drink and Drive Outro - Empty Ships Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Why are artists so angry about their royalties from streaming music services like Spotify? Is there really no money or is there money but a crazy math formula that calculates who gets what is, well, just wrong. Could the problem really be a bad math equation? Meet Sharky Laguana. Front man and founder of the band Creeper Lagoon and founder of a band van rental service Bandago. Now construct a venn diagram of the music industry and rental services, Sharky sits right in the sweet spot. As the founder and lead singer of the seminal 1990s alternative rock band, “Creeper Lagoon” Sharky knows the music industry. As the founder and CEO of the van rental company Bandago, Sharky understands the economics of rentals. With the launch of Apple Music and Spotify, the emerging trend of renting music, as opposed to buying or downloading a track, is hitting the mainstream. So when Sharky sat down, took a look at how the current music services - Pandora, Spotify, Rdio, Apple Music… etc, calculated how artists are paid, he quickly realized the numbers just don’t add up. None of it made sense. Where does your monthly fee go? Who gets the most? Who gets the least? Why were bands like the Rolling Stone, and other monsters of rock still raking in millions, while new artists are left with pennies? Is the system even rigged? And why the heck does Liza Minnelli get paid when someone listens to a Sex Pistols song? What’s an artist to do? Sharky is a passionate voice for new and emerging artist, and with just one small change to the current system, he argues, everyone can be paid fairly. Heads up, lots of swears in this episode....
