Podcasts about Indie pop

By 2004, the indie rock scene was dominated by loud, sprawling collectives, but Leslie Feist stepped away from the noise of Broken Social Scene to release a delicate, intimate masterpiece that completely defied expectations. Let It Die traded the chaotic indie-rock energy of her peers for a smoky, Parisian mix of bossa nova, folk-pop, and jazz lounge covers. This week, the Random Album Generator gives us the international solo breakthrough of one of Canada's most beloved songwriters—an 11-track journey through romance, heartbreak, and undeniable vocal charm.Inside This Episode:First Half Reaction: We're splitting this 11-track indie-pop gem down the middle. If you're listening with us, hit pause after track five, "Leisure Suite." Jeremy and Jon react to the breezy, acoustic perfection of "Mushaboom" and the devastatingly beautiful title track, "Let It Die," and discuss how Feist manages to make whispered, intimate vocals feel incredibly commanding.5 Fast Facts: We uncover the tiny Nova Scotia village that gave "Mushaboom" its name, the magic of her Parisian studio sessions with Chilly Gonzales, and how she effortlessly transformed a forgotten Bee Gees disco track into a sultry lounge anthem.Second Half & Final Thoughts: We hit play on the back half of the record and dive into the cover-heavy section of the album, exploring tracks like her take on Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart" and the traditional "When I Was a Young Girl." Does the shift from original compositions to jazz standards and covers disrupt the album's flow, or does it perfectly cement its smoky, late-night atmosphere?The Verdict & Standout Tracks: Jeremy and Jon lock in their 3 essential tracks. Is this the absolute pinnacle of 2000s indie-folk lounge pop?Join the Polyphonic Press Community: Love collecting classic vinyl and want to talk about? Reach out and let us know!

Eine Symbiose aus modernem Indie-Pop und klassischer Tradition – so wird mitunter der musikalische Output des Solo-Projektes der polnisch-deutschen Künstlerin Edita Karkoschka bezeichnet, und welchen sie uns heute im radioeins-Studio präsentiert! Die in Berlin und der Bretagne lebende Sängerin, Komponistin und Produzentin war bis Ende 2019 Frontfrau der Band NAUSICA, bevor sie sich ab 2020 vollständig ihrer Solokarriere widmete. Ihr im März 2024 erschienenes Debütalbum "KOSCHKA" verbindet eigene englischsprachige Kompositionen mit Neu-Interpretationen deutscher Lieder aus der Romantik, etwa von Franz Schubert oder Clara Schumann. Diese Mischung schafft eine Atmosphäre, die Koschka Genre-Titel wie "Neo-Romantik" oder "Pop Noir" einbringen und Vergleiche zu Roadmovies und den Werken von Jim Jarmusch aufrufen. Während ihr Debüt größtenteils in ihrem Berliner Homestudio entstanden ist, wurde es von renommierten, Grammy-prämierten Technikern in New York von Emily Lazar und Chris Allgood (u.a. David Bowie) gemastert. Ursprünglich als Performance Duo KOSCHKA & HEIMPROFI mit der bildenden Künstlerin Krista Burger 2012 gestartet, hat sich Edita Karkoschka nach dem gemeinsamen Touren als Live-Cinema Act durch ganz Europa von ihrem neuen Moniker nicht mehr trennen können. Seit 2018 hat sie regelmäßig neue Musik veröffentlicht – zuletzt im Mai ihre Single "Should I Have Told You", um die es unter anderem heute bei ihrem radioeins-Besuch geht.

«The story of a fool (as told by the fool herself)» è quella che cantano i Josie nella canzone che apre la scaletta di questa sera. Qualcuno potrebbe suggerire che forse si tratta di una didascalia appropriata anche per questa stessa trasmissione, ma per i prossimi sessanta minuti non raccontiamoci altre storie e godiamoci soltanto […]

This playlist is 73% vinyl friendly. Not bad. The ‘cack handed’ HMV 1507 portable radiogram. When from? It’s old. An online post from nearly two decades ago… ‘… came across this rather strange record player, though quite admirably I resisted buying it! The casing is a bit weird in that the lid seems to cover the entire thing rather than sitting on a bottom half. Then a closer look at the record deck itself made me wrinkle the noble brow in surprise. The pickup arm rests at 90 degrees to the usual resting place. It looks almost back to front! Unfortunately it didn’t have a maker’s or model name, so unless someone can identify it and leave a comment then it will have to remain a mystery for another ten years or so… ‘ And then a decade later, the answer… ‘Your cack handed record player is an HMV 1507 portable radiogram. The type C cartridges almost never work when found now. It’s a cack handed design alright. The radio part is a transformerless AC/DC design but the record deck motor is AC only. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 153 Gil… by a mile! 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – World (The Price Of Love) (Perfecto Mix) * – 12″ – London – 1993 Nineties house music legend and a fave remixer of the band, Paul ‘Perfecto’ Oakenfold adding some clout and drive to an already sparkling song that, if I’m honest, didn’t in its era always transfer successfully to a live setting. Some of what was floating Oakenfold’s DJ’ing boat back in the day. DJ mag article, 15.10.94 06.51 BESERK IN A HAYFIELD – Club Paris – Cold Waves Of Color Volume 3, v/artists LP – Color Disc – 2016 ‘Packaged in a fancy pants paper cut Whoever Beserk In A Hatfield was/is, their mid ’80s output has regularly featured on re-activated label, Color Disc’s compilations… and they’ll be back here. 10.03 CHRISTIAN PROMMER (feat JUSTINE HOERWARTH) – Tryin’ Times – Rhythmique Nocturne, 2LP – Compost – 2026 Tryin’ Times? Ain’t they just! Maybe not a stream of consciousness in the vocals/lyrics department, at times they’re on more like a bit of a languid ramble… up against busying keyboards that occasionally remind me of Keith Jarrett… but it works! Classy Prommer over some ‘transparent splatter’ vinyl, with a ‘silver particles print’, to boot. 15.24 WATER FROM YOUR EYES – Nights In Armor – It’s A Beautiful Place, LP – Matador – 2025 That’ll be tears then. A duo out of Brooklyn, New York with more motif biziness and on exclusive ‘Clear Blue Smoke’ (with a signed 12″x12″ print, 500 copies) or ‘Coke Bottle Green’ vinyl. 18.34 LA RISSA – Surrender – Download only – 2026 Still with duos but from Brooklyn to Bradford, and never has ‘I wanted to knock your fucking lights out… ‘ sounded so dark wave pop. 22.45 BLONDSHELL – Heart Has To Work So Hard – Download only – 2026 Vocalist, Sabrina Teitelbaum is for some unclear reason doing her best to physically show us her heart on the accompanying promo shot (upcoming Violins album cover?) and I get the feeling her sound is possibly influenced by a bunch of bands in the ’90’s and noughties that passed me by. Could be wrong. 25.53 CABARET VOLTAIRE – Just Fascination (live) – But What Time Is It Really? LP – MemeTune – 2026 Given that the whole album was ‘Recorded on the UK tour Oct-Nov 2025’ and I was at four of the six dates, there’s a 66% chance I was at this performance and that of each of the other tracks. And as it stands right now, I’ll be at the last three of their last ever gigs come October 2026. An iconic and groundbreaking band bowing out, forty four years after I first saw them, below in 1982. 29.46 A CERTAIN RATIO – And Then Again (Flight 12″ version) – 12″ b-side – Factory – 1980 Simon Topping’s vocal on any ACR is such an era capturing moment for me. I can nearly feel the people, ‘sense’ the places etc I knew then. Thanks to the band’s gigography it seems though this track is not one I heard them play live in the times (including the above) I saw them before Topping’s departure in late ’82. 32.14 LONELADY – The Catcher – Former Things, LP – Warp – 2021 Julie! New music, if you please! Best, Dec. 36.29 THE DURUTTI COLUMN – Liars – Renascent, LP – London – 2026 Vini Reilly’s first album in fifteen years… and with maybe more lyrics on this track than on his entire back catalogue! Good to have him back. 40.13 BROKEN SPINDLES – Induction – Fulfilled / Complete, LP – Saddle Creek – 2004 A 180g vinyl album maybe before they became all the rage? Dunno, I lose track of time. Anyway, Broken Spindles was one Joel Peterson and the many layers Fulfilled / Complete was the second of six album sized projects he/it/they released in the noughties. I often wonder what peeps do when they stop making music… and I always hope it’s ‘keep being artistic’ 43.01 RAE & CHRISTIAN with TEXAS Vs THE WORKS – Hush (The Works Remix) – Grand Central Vs The Works-The Soul Sessions Vol-1, download only – ?? – 2026 The ‘Texas’ being wholly that band’s driver Charleen Spiteri, and here with a tad more motion/movement/swing than the original beaut. Hush is still lush. 46.51 GIL SCOTT-HERON (with PRETTY PURDIE and THE PLAYBOYS) – 7″ – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised – Flying Dutchman – 1971 Boy, would he have something to say if he were still alive. 49.50 SHY FX & KINGH – La Prima (B-side) – Download only – 2026 With a third of the utuuuube views that the dub-step’y and longer version has attained in the two months since release but this funkier take is the proper version. 51.16 DOROTHY ASHBY – Soul Vibrations * – 7″ – Cadet – 1968 In her time, a jazz harpist of some standing, with both the album (1968’s Afro-Harping) this cinematic feel track leads off and the single itself now costing serious money in their original form. 54.24 PATRICK COWLEY (feat PEGGY GIBBONS) – Ice Age – Hard Ware, 2LP – Dark Entries – 2025 Whether Ms Gibbons sounding a lot like Donna Summer was a coincidence or Cowley ideally would have liked the latter to get involved on this simple plodder I’ll never know but at least he got to later remix I Feel Love. 01.00.27 SHEILA CHANDRA – Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram – The Struggle, LP – Indiepop – 1985 After her Monsoon ‘Ever So Lonely’ days but she was still crossing over. 01.05.09 JAZZ THE GLASS – MeMorY PalacE – Download only – 2026 Dunbar in the area! Averaging a 41 Rooms appearance roughly every ten shows but in case there’s any suggestion of nepotism, with a whole bunch of tunes I haven’t played. 01.08.12 JC-001 – All My Children (Mother’s P-Phunk Mix) (41 Rooms – edit) * – 12″ – Anxious – 1993 A massive 41 Rooms edit to be honest… and if I was ever to have carried on DJ’ing, I’d have maybe opened any set with the a cappella of ‘All my children now… ‘ An idea to others? You’re welcome. 01.11.39 SIOUXSIE and THE BANSHEES – Happy House – 7″ – Polydor – 1980 Siouxsie once said of this, the band’s second top 20 hit: “It is sarcastic. In a way, like television, all the media, it is like adverts, the perfect family whereas it is more common that husbands beat their wives. There are mental families really but the projection is everyone smiling, blond hair, sunshine, eating butter without being fat and everyone perfect“. 01.15.03 EYELESS IN GAZA – (Across The) Pulse Of The Rain – Mania Sour, CD only – Ambivalent Scale – 2014 Often performed live in early EIG gigs but it took thirty plus years for them to lay down a studio version… and apologies for the slightly brutal intro I edited. 01.17.25 THE SOUND – Unwritten Law (Mike Read session, BBC Radio 1, Oct 1980) – The BBC Recordings, 2CD only – Renascent – 2004 Those BBC sessions – produced in just a few hours – very often turned up superior versions and though I’d possibly be outvoted on this, with more edge in the production and presence in the vocal I prefer this take to the one on their debut album, Jeopardy. 01.21.00 MISTY IN ROOTS – Wise & Foolish (John Peel Session) – The John Peel Sessions, CD only – Strange Fruit – 1995 For me, they were absolutely flying in their earliest (1979-1980) JP sessions, with Wise… being from the third of the nine they did for the great man. 01.25.49 MOUTH – Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea – Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, 12″ EP – Emotional Rescue – 2016 Released thirty five years late(r) but added here to their only ever releases (2 singles)… and that’s definitely Mark Stewart ranting in there at the end. 01.32.24 BLACK UHURU (feat MICHAEL ROZE) – Party – 7″ – Ajang – 2000 A tough reworking of the band’s Party Next Door from 1983. 01.35.43 LADY BLACKBIRD vs CROOKED MAN – When The Game Is Played On You – Crooked Spirituals 12″ EP – Foundation – 2025 The power of electronics – in this case Sheffield-based Richard Barratt – reeeeally adding to a great vocal. 01.41.09 CARON WHEELER – In Our Love (Club Remix) – 12″ – EMI Records USA – 1992 One of a number of tunes she released after her Soul II Soul days proving she was making some top tunes post Jazzie B. 01.44.58 MARXMAN – Theme From Marxman – 33 Revolutions Per Minute, LP – Talkin’ Loud – 1993 ‘Marxist Hip Hop group, formed 1989 in London. Consisting of Bristol MC’s Hollis Byrne (H) and Stephen Brown (MC Phase) and Oisin Lunny and DJ K One from Ireland‘. – Discogs Were they the first hip hop act to play on the ‘revolutions per minute’ thing? 01.48.11 TALKING HEADS – Take Me To The River – 2×7″ – Sire – 1978 David Byrne sounding in less of a hurry to get to the water than Al Green on the original. 01.52.58 SOUL II SOUL – Back To Life (Club Mix) * – 12″ – Ten Records – 1989 Just a couple of tunes along, Caron Wheeler returns with the song she’ll always be remembered for. Show 154 will be with you Aug 2. Dec x The post Post Punk Plus Podcast Playlist 153 – Original upload 5.7.26 appeared first on 41Rooms.

Nordmark Pod får besök av Melker Lindh Ewertson och Bob Klingspor-Mattsson från Crescenterna! Det samtalas om och att: Hjärtat EP, kommer aldrig bli rika på musik, vår bristande musikaliska kompetens, snott från Bodil Malmsten, den som sköt in bollen i mål, vi är väldigt demokratiska, man har några chanser som ung och lovande, kan inte du spela såhär, ha koll på sitt eget, sanna stockholmspatrioter, ju mer gig vi får desto sämre blir min privatekonomi, förväntas kunna lösa allt, hitta medlemmar, min hjärna fungerar bättre än fingrarna och att personlighet är det viktigaste… Mäktigt!

Ankathie Koi war unsere Gästin beim Live-Podcast im Hotel Gilbert. Und was sollen wir sagen. Es war ein fulminanter Abend und ein extrem unterhaltsamer Austausch über das Leben mit Musik, über das Ausloten der eigenen musikalischen Grenzen, über Bühnenmomente und Bühnenpräsenz, Koiboys, Krokoschwänze und pikante Details.   Ankathie sagt: „Das Drumherum ist oft stressig, das Davor ist stressig, das ist ein harter Job. Das ist davor hart und danach hart und dazwischen auch, und jeder, der mit Musikerinnen oder Künstler*innen befreundet ist, weiß, dass das nicht immer ein Zuckerschlecken ist. Aber tatsächlich – der Moment selbst auf der Bühne ist für mich so enjoyable und so wichtig. Es gibt halt immer mehr, als es nimmt.”   Wir haben den Live-Moment mit Ankathie auch extrem genossen. Ein Gespräch das in die Tiefe ging und unsere Herzen schmelzen hat lassen. Danke Ankathie, dass du unsere Gästin warst ❤️‍

For May's episode we discuss our favourite songs of 2009, including epic drone soundscapes, haunted TV themes, Emo Chiptune, Indiepop songs about outdated heartthrobs, and deconstructed Arab Strap.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - :(, Animal Collective, Belbury Poly, Betty & The Werewolves, Bon Iver, Brand New, Bill Callaghan, Crippled Black Phoenix, Editors, Future Of The Left, PJ Harvey & John Parish, The Horrors, Isis, Jesu, Dan Michaelson, Metric, Malcolm Middleton, Aidan Moffat & The Best Ofs, Mono, The National, Om, Paramore, Pelican, Porcupine Tree, Regina Spektor, Sunn O))), The Temper Trap, Cortney Tidwell, and The XX.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5g3iJkWjs932dm8nn7bCEP?si=ae57751dec554930Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

Our old friend, echoey audio, rears it's ugly head again on this episode. Not quite as bad as the Childish Gambino but you can't say I didn't warn you. One of these days I'll learn to consistently work a noise gate so this stops happening.This week we're covering titans of the early 2010's indie pop/rock scene, Sleigh Bells and their sophomore album Reign in Terror. Simultaneously more catchy and clean and pop focused than their debut, Treats, while also being decidedly more guitar focused. We discuss what the music scene was like at the time, as well as how this band was insanely ahead of their time and would end up being one of the influential pillars for what would eventually become hyperpop.The vinyl I have is the standard release as far as I'm aware. This album came out right around when I started collecting so I bought it near release at a record store, probably Horizon Records or maybe Earshot if they were still around by this point. The jacket is slightly taller than your average record which may be an aesthetic choice or it may be to house the collection of art prints the album came with that I sadly lost over the years. Either way it's a great sounding, 180g black vinyl.News corner this week is a little all over the place. Bouncing around from MIA getting herself fired from the Kid Cudi tour, to talking about the recent epidemic of shows and tours getting canceled due to low ticket sales, and we even briefly mention the very real and serious feud between Earl Sweatshirt and JPEGMAFIA.Instagram - @MBFrecordspodAmanda's IG/TikTok/YouTube - @MothraLunaJason's Discogs - https://www.discogs.com/user/FrequencyShift/collection Theme music by SHADE08 x 80root on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bewQPpTnfgg&list=PPSVHosted on Ausha.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Elizabeth Ziman of Elizabeth & the Catapult, and at the time of this conversation, she's about to release her new album. Now that the record is officially out in the world, we get to talk about everything that went into bringing it to life.We begin right at that moment, standing on the edge of a release. Elizabeth describes the feeling of finally letting go of a project after years of writing, recording, and refining, comparing it to sending something deeply personal out into the world and hoping it finds its place.From there, we dig into how this album differs from her past work. What started as scattered home recordings across multiple cities eventually became a deeply collaborative project, bringing together friends, choir members, and longtime collaborators. It's a record shaped not just by sound, but by movement, transition, and a desire to reconnect after a period of isolation.We also spend time talking about something that really resonates: the balance between perfectionism and letting go. Elizabeth shares how some songs took years to finish, while others were written and recorded quickly, and how learning to trust both processes has been a major part of her growth as an artist.There's also a fascinating conversation about the realities of being an independent artist today, the tension between creating meaningful work and navigating the demands of social media, promotion, and constant visibility. Elizabeth speaks candidly about that push and pull, and how she tries to stay grounded in what actually matters: the music and the connection it creates.One of my favorite moments in this episode is going full circle, talking about seeing her live back in 2009 at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta. That moment becomes a springboard into reflecting on a nearly 20-year career, and how her perspective on music has shifted from “this is hard” to “I get to do this.”We also explore her background, from classical piano and Manhattan School of Music competitions to Berklee, where she found her artistic voice and began collaborating with musicians like Esperanza Spalding. Along the way, we talk about film scoring, directing a women's choir, and the many creative paths that continue to shape her work.This is a conversation about evolution, perspective, and learning to hold both discipline and freedom at once.Key TakeawaysElizabeth Ziman's new album is now out, marking a deeply collaborative and expansive creative chapter.The project began as home recordings across multiple cities before evolving into a full studio production.Balancing perfectionism with spontaneity has become central to her songwriting process.The modern music landscape presents both opportunities and challenges, especially around visibility and promotion.Nearly 20 years into her career, her perspective has shifted toward gratitude and creative freedom.Her background in classical piano and Berklee continues to influence her work today.Collaborating across disciplines—film scoring, choir directing, and teaching—feeds her creativity.Music from the EpisodeResponsible Friend - Elizabeth and the Catapult50/50 - Elizabeth and the CatapultBored of Myself - Elizabeth and the CatapultI Love You Still - Elizabeth and the CatapultAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is my chance to sit down with musicians, songwriters, and creative artists for thoughtful conversations about their craft, their journey, and the experiences that shape the music we hear.Connect with the ShowEmail: contact@thebandwichtapes.com

In this episode of Seeing Them Live, host Charles sits down with brothers Matheus and Thiago Khouri of the Brazilian rock band Banda AL9. The duo shares the story of their first concert experience — seeing Paul McCartney at Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo in 2010, when Matheus was just 12 and Thiago was 10. Raised by rock-and-roll-loving parents who saw Queen at the same stadium in 1985, the brothers grew up immersed in the music of the Beatles, Deep Purple, and other classic acts. Their father taught them guitar, and before long they were forming bands with school friends. The name "Banda AL9" itself is a nod to a street name in Portuguese and the number nine, inspired by Jack Black's declaration in School of Rock that nine is a magic number. The conversation traces the band's rise from humble beginnings posting cover songs on Facebook and YouTube in 2013 to becoming a viral sensation. After strategically building a fan base with acoustic covers of fifties and sixties rock classics, they released their debut EP of Portuguese-language originals in 2019, with the song "Ela Me Ligou" becoming their first viral hit in Brazil. The pandemic era saw them recording a live studio album just before lockdowns began, and by 2023, everything changed. Their original song "Charma De Amor" exploded on TikTok and Instagram, reaching audiences far beyond Brazil. This caught the attention of world-famous DJ Steve Aoki, who invited them to perform at Tomorrowland and encouraged them to record in English — leading to the international hit "She Calls Me Love." Matheus and Thiago also discuss their exciting new chapter with Little Steven Van Zandt's Wicked Cool Records label. Through a connection with artist Kurt Baker, Steven heard their music, loved it, and signed them — even writing an original song for the band, set for release in July alongside their new album, Hey, Hey, We're Banda AL9. The brothers recount their whirlwind first trip to New York City, which included a live session at SiriusXM's Underground Garage, a free concert at the Cutting Room, and meeting Nickelodeon star Drake Bell. The episode wraps up with an acoustic performance of their latest single, "She Can Do It All," and talk of a potential U.S. tour later in the summer — with a stop in Chicago for fried chicken and deep-dish pizza high on their wish list. BANDS: Banda AL9, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen (E Street Band), Deep Purple, Little Richard, Queen. VENUES: Allianz Parque, Cutting Room, Morumbi Stadium, SiriusXM, Tomorrowland.
