175 - Mondo Cozmo (Josh Ostrander) In episode 175 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with Mondo Cozmo aka Josh Ostrander. In their conversation Josh talks about living in Napa and why he moved to Napa from LA and from Philly before that. Josh tells us about his early musical experiences being inspired by Nirvana playing a guitar that was destined to be his Christmas present and watching his neighborhood band through a storm window that he eventually joined. Josh describes his guitars including an SG that belonged to his wife's ex boyfriend and takes us through his amps and pedals and how he gets the “Wall” sound on his songs. Josh gives us the rundown of his bands that led up to Mondo Cozmo and the record deals he had. Josh talks about Mondo Cozmo's tour schedule. Josh tells us about his musician wife and how she adds the sparkle to Mondo Cozmo's music.

Dan talks with Josh Ostrander, aka Mondo Cozmo, from his basement studio in Los Angeles. After mutually admiring each other's set-ups through their computer screens, Josh talks to Dan about growing up outside Philadelphia, all the ups and downs with his previous groups La Guardia and Eastern Conference Champions, and the hard decision to shift to a solo project back in 2016. Since then Josh has toured constantly, put out multiple releases, and written more songs than he could ever know what to do with. Josh details how touring with Spoon just before their last album, 'Lucifer On the Sofa', was a master class in how a band reinvents itself, and those lessons would inform his own work going forward. His latest LP, 'It's PRINCIPLE', is out now and available wherever you get your digital music. Mondo Cozmo is playing 10/26 at Underground Arts as part of Philly Music Fest, sharing a bill with Devon Gilfillian, The Tisburys, and Emily Drinker.  'Want To Play A Song?: Live On 25 O'Clock Vol. 1' is out now exclusively on Bandcamp, and is a compilation of 10 unique performances from the podcast over the last ten years. All the proceeds from the compilation go to support Philly Music Fest's charitable giving. Every year, PMF donates all the profits from the festival to music non-profits all over Philadelphia. Since their inception, they've donated over $500K to music and education charities throughout the region.

Josh Ostrander is back with a new Mondo Cozmo album and I'm stoked to share this amazing interview with all of you!  His project is named for his dog, Cozmo, who recently passed away, and the new album, “It's PRINCIPAL,” is simply outstanding — a beautiful alt-rock album with a driving vibe and a gripping and cohesive throughline. Josh has a great attitude and an endearing sense of humor and I get into it all with him. We talk about his life philosophy: a combination of gratitude, self-acceptance and the belief that life is a series of “a million little miracles.”  Josh's humor and emotional awareness will lift you up; it did for me… and I'm all about that.

What is it like when a musician meets one of their favorite artists of all time? A dream come true happened for singer-songwriter Mondo Cozmo when he got an email from icon Bruce Springsteen. Mondo Cozmo grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (same as Springsteen) and was also a blue collar worker. The similarities were apparent and Mondo Cozmo has taken inspiration from his upbringing and the music of rock icons. Watch as Mondo Cozmo talks about his brand new album This is for the Barbarians and performs a stripped down set.

Mondo Cozmo is the performing name of Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Joshua Ostrander. His music boasts the bold, expansive sound of the likes of Arcade Fire, Bob Dylan, Beck, and various hip-hop artists. But his sense of purpose might be what is most remarkable. It's a lesson for us all. Mondo Cozmo has just released a fantastic new third album—titled “This is for the Barbarians,” and we discuss not only the album but what drives him as a purpose-fuelled leader including social causes, relationships, and of course, love. As Ostrander says in our conversation, “Just follow your heart and know that it's going to lead you to the right place.”

Today's Song of the Day is "Electrify My Love" from Mondo Cozmo's album, This Is For The Barbarians, out now.Mondo Cozmo will be performing at First Avenue on Saturday, April 16th.

This week's show features The Wombats with music from The Now, ANGLS, Skinny Knowledge, Mondo Cozmo, NO WIN, Melody Federer, Piqued Jacks, BAIT, Placebo, Marquis Drive & Rami Feinstein! Hosted by Aaron Zytle. 03/29/2022

Ready to rattle your cage? Rock n' roller Mondo Cozmo, a.k.a. Josh Ostrander, is back recalling early Dylan on “Meant For Livin,'” and says “This is the first song that I wrote when the pandemic hit, with the lyrics reading as a practical guide for successful living."

Durell and Kenny begin the episode talking about him being the driving force behind the band. Kenny shares that he's originally from Northern California but spent his early years overseas due to his dad being an executive in international business. Kenny shares that he came back to the states to finish off high school in Portland, Oregon.

Durell shares that he's been to six different countries and that attending the Midem conference is what helped to create these great opportunities to see the world through music. Kenny shares that he has booked 7 UK tours but he remembers booking the first one on Myspace in 2009 and how that not only got his fans excited in the states but really helped to create the building blocks of establishing a worldwide fanbase. Durell talks about creatives being able to understand that the journey to success takes time and that comparing themselves to other people's experiences will ultimately cause you as an artist to go crazy. Durell shares that the main goal for indie creatives should be to find their tribe and serve them.Kenny shares that early on when he first started his band (originally called the Water Tower Bucket Boys) he thought that he had to follow and emulate his musical heroes and that started him down a path of battling with addiction and now that he is headed down a path of sobriety he only wants to put clean water into the bucket and this has been the driving force behind his rebrand. Durell says that when indie creatives begin to chase fame there's no metric to quantify it and fame is something that is always fleeting. Durell and Kenny talk about how most people need to be ready for success and often times aren't. Kenny and Durell talk about the reason he left Portland was because of how much it rained there. One of the ways he funded his move to Los Angeles was to hone his craft by playing for tips in the early morning traffic. Durell says that everyone's story is different and finding what works is what really matters. Durell and Kenny talk about his experiences as a music teacher and also playing as a hired gun for other people as what brings him joy to be able to do what he loves.

He has also had the opportunity to work on some great projects for Disney, Sesame Street as well as teaching at the School Of Rock and being featured on Netflix. Durell and Kenny speak about how his global travels around the world have intertwined directly with his songwriting which came to show with a song called “Fromage” which was inspired by a trip he took to Paris. He shares that music is a reflection of what is going on around him and he loves to channel that energy into his songwriting.Durell and Kenny end the episode talking about the origin and history of his band Water Tower. He said when he first started the band it was about having fun and then by the time he was 21 years old touring the world he knew he wasn't ready for that kind of success personally. He talks about signing with an indie label in Portland in 2013 and it took the band 7 years to put out their album called “Fly Around” and all of the experiences up until now have shaped the way he looks at the journey.

Today in Dusty's Downloads there are some really cool songs to download from some really cool artists!  Featured Artists: Goodbye June, Royal Blood, Mondo Cozmo, The Pretty Reckless, and The Record Company Enjoy!!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mondo Cozmo over Zoom video!You hear and read countless stories about blood, sweat, and tears all shed in the name of art and—paid like a toll to unseen forces—for its creation. However, you never validate how much of each fluid really flowed...or do you? In this case, blood actually spilled (beyond a lot of tears and sweat) in order for Mondo Cozmo to craft his second full-length and first release for Last Gang Records, New Medicine. Now, he does not regret putting his fist through that window for a second, but the four-hour surgery did suck. Yet, breaking the glass smashed a figurative ceiling. In the aftermath, he learned how to “Say no,” departed amicably from the major label system, “taped a fucking pick to his cast” in order to play guitar, lost feeling in the aforementioned hand for two years, attracted the wisdom of Butch Vig (“the dude of dudes!”), and wrote the rock ‘n’ roll record he always meant to write. The most rock ‘n’ roll thing about it isn’t the right hook, the guitars, or even the attitude. It’s the moment of self-actualization by the Philadelphia-born and Los Angeles-based critically acclaimed alternative troubadour and gutter punk poet.The man himself, Josh Ostrander, tells the story best.“We were shooting a live video on a sound stage in Culver City, and I fucking lost it, because the whole thing didn’t feel like me,” he recalls. “I never lose my cool. I try to be the leader I want to see. A switch flipped, though. I thought I was looking at a dumb foam wall in the studio, but it was the glass door. I punched it so hard that when I pulled my hand back out you could see the eruption of blood everywhere. Turns out, I clipped all of these arteries. My drummer pulled a handkerchief from my pocket, tied a tourniquet around my arm, and my tour manager took me to the hospital. It turned out to be therapeutic. So many beautiful things happened. Since I made such an ass of myself, I knew the next record had to be the best thing I’ve ever fucking done,” he laughs.As performing proved a challenge to say the least, he took a primitive approach to writing in addition to enlisting the help of some friends. With the pick taped to his cast, he simplified the chord structures and allowed the anger to ring out (you can hear his cast hitting the strings) as he wrote in his home studio. He invited longtime friends and tourmates Black Rebel Motorcycle Club to lend their talents to the project as Peter Hayes cut guitar and Leah Shapiro performed drums on multiple tracks. Not to mention, legendary producer Butch Vig professed his fandom for Mondo Cozmo on a podcast, so Josh found a way to get in touch. Butch then became a sounding board and “father figure” throughout the whole trip.In the midst of the recovery, Josh’s doctor prescribed an antibiotic, doubling as an omen.“When I was on the antibiotic, I was coming up with all of these fucking songs,” he says. “I told him! He looked at me and said, ‘Do you actually think it’s the antibiotic? Or, do you think because you said what you needed to, you’re writing these?’ I thought, ‘Maybe, he’s right’. So, I called the album New Medicine as it stemmed from the whole experience.”He introduces the record with the revved-up snarling rock of “Black Cadillac.” A slithering clean riff snakes around tambourine. On the bridge, everything subsides into a steeple-size chant upheld by handclaps before the affirmation, “I’m alright.”“We had these seven-hour van drives during the Kavanaugh hearings, so we’d watch them,” he goes on. “I call him out on the third verse, because I feel artists should be speaking up right now. Don’t play in the middle of the road. Use your words. At the same time, the song is also very much about being on the road and getting sick of Instagram.”A rush of guitars builds towards the sweeping and soaring “Come On.” For the only co-writer of the project, he joined forces with Dan Wilson and summoned the spirit of “Cracker’s ‘Low’” with teeth bared and glorious feedback swells. Elsewhere, “Generator” climaxes on a glorious chorus of “Come Release Me” bound to be a high point of any and all upcoming gigs. “It’s just fucking beautiful,” he grins. “Upside Down” tempers a tweaked-out sample and plain-spoken lyrical musings with “a social narrative about watching the news every night” on the edge of an off-kilter guitar solo. He adds, “I like the idea of the song being out in 2020 in the election year of everything upside down.”Mondo Cozmo’s music has all the makings of the soundtrack to the current era and beyond. His 2017 full-length debut, Plastic Soul, boasted the #1 single “Shine.” In addition to performing everywhere from Lollapalooza to Bonnaroo and garnering acclaim from Entertainment Weekly, Consequence of Sound, and more, he made his television debut on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, toured alongside Bastille and Spoon, and opened for Muse. Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons joined him for a live duet on The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony,” while Anna Faris starred in the video for “Hold On To Me” and Paz de La Huerta starred in the video “Higher.” GRAMMYs On The Hill invited him to speak in support of the Music Modernization Act during 2018. Even though Josh admits, “I’m not sure I graduated high school,” he got to ride the underground trolley to the senate that JFK used. He joined various members of congress at a celebratory dinner where he stared down the urge to steal a spoon—his wife assured him it was not a good idea….That brings us to New Medicine. You can be sure Josh’s blood went into New Medicine; you’ll also get to know him better.“I feel like I’m the dude you want to introduce to your family, but he might be on acid and will still hug you,” he leaves off. “I’m very much a blue collar guy who’s trying to do right. I went through something pretty profound. It happened so I could find myself. It’s a release. There are certain lines I hope will resonate with people. I’ve gone through enough shit. I’ve played every fucking club. I’ve slept on everybody’s sofa. I’ve opened up for every band. I want to take over the world. I want to be true and honest. I want to live with conviction. I just feel like I have a shot right now.”  — Rick Florino, July 2019We want to hear from you!

Teeing off on themes from his new film "Don't Think Twice," Keegan and Anna offer reflections on fame, talent, success and providence.
