sent $$$ this week to BROWN TRANS & QUEER ORCHID HOUSE FIRE RELIEF FUND.gofund.me/eeedb70f“On 7/19/21, a fire started in a vacant home and spread to the neighboring home burning two houses down where residents lost everything in the burn and barely made it out with their lives in West Oakland, California. Orchid House was one of the homes and we are raising funds for 3 Brown Queer Trans and Nonbinary displaced folks. The fire alarm did not go off even while the house was engulfed in flames, so they are deeply blessed to have made it out alive. We are raising money for their housing security, insurance (health, car, and pets) food, gas, healing resources (therapy, herbal medicine, bodywork), shoes, clothing, and toiletries.

We swung through London’s East End this past March to meet up with chefs Jackson Boxer and Andrew Clarke who gave us a preview of their Shoreditch restaurant St. Leonards. Since opening in May, the duo’s “fire and ice” menu, fueled by a raw bar with shellfish and various crudos and a wood-burning hearth offering up veggies, seafare and meats, have made St. Leonards one of the most popular restaurant openings in London this year. We dig into our archives and revisit one of the loudest musical performances we’ve ever had on the show with Boston sludgy punk rock trio Kal Marks. It was September 2013, and the band was just on the verge of releasing their first full-length album, Life is Murder. Snacky Tunes is powered by Simplecast

Kal Marks has been called "the loudest band in Boston" by NPR and are on a nationwide tour as you read this. I caught two Kal Marks performances in the span of a couple of weeks and felt compelled to get Carl on Five Questions. He kindly obliged and we linked up at his apartment on a bitterly cold night in January. We talked about panic-attack-inducing anxiety, collaborative songwriting, regrets in the wake of lost love, being on tour with a drug addict, and how conversations with friends are so precious. And yup, he answered Five Questions. Meet Carl.

This week on Snacky Tunes, Greg and Darin welcome Amanda Freitag, one of New York’s most celebrated chefs, and the band Kal Marks, who came all the way from Boston to play some rock. Amanda is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, and a well known TV personality and chef for battling Bobby Flay on Iron Chef America on the Food Network. Getting her start under the guidance of Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Vong New York, she eventually teamed up with legendary restaurateur Godfrey Polistina (Carmine’s, Ouest, Virgil’s BBQ) to start the popular upper west side restaurant Cesca Enoteca & Trattoria. Most recently, Amanda was the executive chef at Gusto in the West Village, where she received both critical and popular acclaim. Lastly, Freitag found a new opportunity at The Harrsion in Tribeca. Since Freitag’s arrival, The Harrison has received numerous accolades from local and national media, including a two-star review from The New York Times, as well as features in Time Out New York, New York Magazine and Forbes Life. Boston’s Kal Marks (originally the solo project of Carl Shane and now a trio) are set to release their first full length album as this lineup, and first recorded in a real studio, Life Is Murder, on September 17 via Exploding In Sound/Sophomore Lounge/Midnight Werewolf. They come from a scene of other young raging rock bands (like Pile and Speedy Ortiz), and like those bands, Kal Marks get loud. But they’re also part of a long lineage of indie rock bands with weird-voiced singers that spans from bands like Modest Mouse or Wolf Parade to more recent things like Alt-J. Ever wondered what Titus Andronicus might have sounded like if Patrick Stickles was more into Isaac Brock and less into Conor Oberst? Kal Marks could be your answer. “When I got to The Harrison, I got a call asking if I wanted to be on Iron Chef. I had a great experience that led to Chopped.” [24:30] — Amanda Freitag on Snacky Tunes
