POPULARITY
Days Between Stations, the Los Angeles-based progressive rock duo of Sepand Samzadeh and Oscar Fuentes, has consistently pushed the boundaries of art rock since their debut in 2007. Blending the genre's classic roots with contemporary creativity, they have become a vital force in modern progressive rock. Drawing inspiration from seminal acts like Yes, Genesis, and Marillion, the duo bridges the grandeur of the past with the innovation of the present. Their latest album, Perpetual Motion Machines, exemplifies this tradition, weaving complex compositions with thematic depth. Similar to Genesis during the Peter Gabriel era, their music is theatrical, creating vivid, often surreal soundscapes imbued with emotional intensity.
ART ROCK/POST PROG GROUP ‘DAYS BETWEEN STATIONS' RELEASING NEW ALBUM ‘PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINES' ZOOM EXCLUSIVE WITH OSCAR FUENTES BILLS & SEPAND SAMZADEH MUSIC VIDEO “SEEDS” OUT NOW! Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I'm your host Ray Shasho. Days Between Stations are releasing their fourth album, “Perpetual Motion Machines (Music For A Film),” on November 29. Recently released is the music video “Seeds.” The music video for “Seeds” features artist Jean-Paul Bourdier BOO DWA at work, altering landscapes, coloring bodies, marking up film frames, playing with manufactured items to see how they influence visuals. “Perpetual Motion Machines (Music For Film)” is the result of DBS founding members keyboardist Oscar Fuentes Bills and guitarist Sepand Samzadeh working on the music for a documentary film about Jean-Paul Bourdier, himself, in the mid-2010s. As the music reached completion, the group was offered the opportunity to release their music as a “proper” album. Sepand says, “Jean Paul's artwork was our muse, and we scored the music to pictures and to existing films.” Pink Floyd backup vocalist Durga McBroom sings on “Being,” which will be released as a video. The album is dedicated to the memory of "Big" Bill Kaylor who engineered early sessions of “Perpetual Motion Machines” and worked on the group's second album, “In Extremis.” The band has a history of music in films-dating back to “Radio Song” (from the debut album) licensed in the independent film “Young, Single & Angry” in 2006 and then in 2023 in “Paul & Trisha: The Art of Fluidity,” now featured on Apple Movies.

Days Between Stations (DBS) released their 3rd album titled “GIANTS” which features guest appearances by legendary XTC member Colin Moulding, Billy Sherwood of YES and backing vocalist for Pink Floyd Durga McBroom on September 2020. daysbetweenstations.com

Ok so me, Dan, Jennifer and David talked for a long time about our favorite underrated bass players. Ok so we listened to a ton of great music. It went over 2 1/2 hours, so sue us. I defy anyone to listen to this episode and find 30 seconds of conversation that you think should have been cut. No chance. In the tradition of those legendary 2am-at-the-Kibitz conversations, we had a glorious time dissecting Rolling Stone magazine's list of the greatest bass players ever, and we countered with our champions of the low end that didn't get their due, and usually don't get the love they deserve by the public. Get inside the minds of four low-end obsessed bass players and listen to some examples of the greats who don't get the love and respect they deserve for their contributions to music. Bass is the place! Find out what Jennifer Jo Oberle is up to on stage and in studio by visiting her website: http://jennoberle.com/index.html Jennifer mentioned the project Days Between Stations. Here's their website: https://www.daysbetweenstations.com Dan Rothchild is always in studio or on tour with amazing bands.

Be on the lookout for a plethora of fabulous progressive rock music on this week's Prog-Watch! We'll hear from Days Between Stations, Kansas, Druid, Wobbler, Mesmerising, Vinyl Dial, Kepler Ten, Kaleidoreal, and Harmonium! As Yoda would say, “Miss it not!”

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG -Dude, October is coming to an end! I hope everyone has been enjoying the Halloween season to the fullest potential. Tonight was our last show for October. The next time you hear my voice it will be November. I can't say much will change around here. I will still be playing the best in the heartland's alternative music but Iowa Basement Tapes is in the process of syndicating to other stations across the state of Iowa. It has been something that has always been in the works and I hope more music is discovered along the way.Tonight I spin tunes from Iowa City's Milk Duct Tape who does a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla", Sioux City Pete, Samuel Locke Ward, The Vahnevants and Sires.- Kristian Day#trustkristiandayMilk Duct Tape - "Gojira" / Gojira (Iowa City)Sioux City Pete and The Beggers - "Farmlands" / Necro Blues (Sioux City)Person Whale - "Boogeyman" / Last Train Out Of Dogtown (Des Moines)Goldblum's - "My Dad's In It" / Gnat Bones (Des Moines)Mister Clean - "Meter Maid KIller" / Screaming Queens and Chicken Wings (Cedar Rapids)Land of Blood and Sunshine - "Gravel Chapel" / AEONS ( Marshalltown)Samuel Locke Ward and the band They Could Not Hang - "The Harvest" / Country & Western Funeral - The Lame Years Vol. 10 (Iowa City)Steve Reverb & the Sound Tones - "Creature from the Black Lagoon" / Tiki Run (Marion)Captain Three Leg - "High Tail" / All Fours (Ottumwa)Dangtrippers - "Maxwell's Demon Box" / Days Between Stations (Iowa City)The Vahnevants - "I Saw a Ghost" (alt version) / I Saw a Ghost (Des Moines)Hot Carl - "Human Pharmacy" / It Hits the Sauce (Dubuque)The Huns - "Fugitive from Love" / Rednecks Under the Moonlight (Iowa City)Sires - "Colorbook" / Soul For Sale (Waterloo)
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Steve Erickson author of Shadowbahn, just published last week by Blue Rider Press, an imprint of Penguin. Steve is the author of ten novels, including (some of my favorites) Days Between Stations, Tours of the Black Clock, Arc d’X, Amnesiascope and Zeroville. He’s written for everyone---Esquire, Rolling Stone, Salon, NYT Magazine. He’s received a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation and a grant from the NEA. I used to think that Steve’s books dealt with an alternative universe that somehow ran parallel to my own waking day-to-day reality. Given the recent troubles, I now feel that Steve’s new novel presents a more logical version of reality than the one I currently find myself in. I find it more likely that the twin towers reappear in the South Dakota badlands along with Elvis’ stillborn brother than I do that Steve Bannon is our new Cromwell and Sean Spicer spins the world weekly news, and the (Betsy Devoss) Tupperware queen is distributing the royal jelly of our educational resources to our youngsters. Nonetheless it is true. The novel begins with the towers reappearing 20 years after their felling and in the upper floors (the 93rd to be exact) Jesse Presley finds himself alive, a life that had previously gone unrealized. He doesn’t quite live up to certain standards however and due to that in part, the music we should have grown up on is not what it should be. Not often that you read a book that references: The Dead, The Doors, Hendrix, The Flatlanders, The Velvet Underground, Missy Elliot, The White Stripes, Aretha and Fredi Washington, to name (really!!) but a few. To steal Steve’s (and Ralph Ellison’s) epigraph we can either live with music or die with noise and I sure as hell would rather spend my last years with a soundtrack. Shadowbahn posits one of a myriad of futures, a future in which a divided America lives out a timescape in which the names Kennedy, Lennon and Presley carry different connotations and the most amazing thing about the book as I alluded to earlier, is that you feel you can hitch the caboose of the novel to another car that is the train that plummets down the track of this new and really really scary America.

Los que tuvierais ya hecho vuestro listado de lo mejor del año, os aconsejamos dejarlo en 'stand by' hasta que terminéis de escuchar este programa, ya que es muy probable que tengáis que modificar esa lista. Viajaremos por el mundo para escuchar y conocer un poco más sobre bandas de diversos países que están haciendo una música excelente y sorprendente. Una gran selección musical de esas que crean afición por su inmensa calidad y que sorprenderá a más de uno. Os traemos lo último de bandas históricas como los suecos The Flower Kings, de otras más recientes como los estadounidenses Days Between Stations e incluso operas primas de impresionante calidad como es el caso de los italianos Progenesi. Para demostrar que el Art Rock no conoce fronteras, viajaremos hasta la India para descubrir el primer trabajo de una sorprendente y fantástica banda llamada Coshish, quienes con la inmensa calidad de su álbum debut se nos presentan como una de las mayores revelaciones del año. ¿Más cosas? Pues sí, disfrutaremos del trabajo de tres supermúsicos que se han unido para hacer una creación como solo ellos podrían hacer: Levin, Minnemann & Rudess nos romperan todos los esquemas con un disco magistral. Los holandeses Sky Architect nos presentan su atrevido nuevo álbum mientras los italianos de Submarine Silence hacen lo propio con el suyo. Por si esto fuera poco, os traemos dos interesantísimas entrevistas, primero con los franceses Elora, que presentaron su magnífico álbum debut en el pasado Festival Crescendo y con quienes mantuvimos una interesante entrevista; no perdáis de vista a esta banda que a buen seguro dará mucho que hablar en el futuro. La segunda entrevista, realizada también durante el pasado Crescendo, fue con los divertidos noruegos Arabs in Aspic; una animada charla llena de curiosidades y datos sobre esta genial banda que saben dominar el escenario como nadie y que nos presentaron su nuevo álbum, toda una muestra de fescura y genialidad. Y para rematar un programa tan impresionante, no podíamos irnos sin dejaros otro de los grandes discazos del año 2013 y que ha llegado rompiendo listados de top10 a diestro y siniestro, nos referimos a los también noruegos AIrbag y su magistral nuevo álbum, 'The Greatest Show on Earth'. Todo ello con el habitual espíritu entusiasta de Subterranea y el buen humor de sus contertulios, no exento de buenos debates y diferencias de opinión que nunca deben faltar en un medio independiente. Un programa que no os debéis perder si queréis escuchar una buena muestra de la mejor música que se hace en la actualidad.
