Join host Erica Andreozzi (@beatsthatsetmypulse) & co-host Sarah Agajanian (@esemae_music) for a chat with talented punk-rockers, Amber Dollinger & Alex Dezen of Broken Baby (@brokenbabybaby), to discuss life during the pandemic and the silver linings discovered throughout. We’ll hear about the new bangers (‘Manic Panic’, ‘Ctr-Alt-Delete’) they recorded/released in 2020, as well as the collaborations they started with fellow label mates (Poor Man Records). We’ll get the skinny on how Amber and Alex first met and why they decided to become a band and start their own label. We’ll also learn about their life prior to Broken Baby and the previous jobs that armed them with special superpowers. We’ll even discuss their writing process and their commitment to addressing provocative topics like misogyny and bigotry that most bands wouldn’t go near with a 10ft pole (we love them for that). Fully respecting the power of the microphone and the stage ('It's My Show!'), they often push crowd members beyond their comfort zone (for their own good). They also respect the immense talent w/in the LA music scene and advocate against bands trying compete for the spotlight: “There is no spot, it is just light.” They share their vision for a new & improved post-COVID-19 music scene that is more inclusive and features more comprehensive, eclectic line-ups. Most importantly, they share some eye-opening facts about each other that most fans don’t know: Who was a child actor on Broadway? Who was inducted into their high school hall of fame? Other topics include: Setting a 5”9’ high jump record, Brett Cavanagh’s 5 F’s, late stage capitalism, Echo Park Rising, Gary (@lamusicscene_ ) in the back of the tour van, Amber’s epic shirt slogans (“FUCK ON”, “Everything Sucks”), Jack White/Jack Johnson/Jack Black, The Satellite, disco (in a suit), three Men & an Amber baby, vodka distilled from fog, the Damnwells, whale & reindeer, sign language, Amber the astronomer, mega dose of mushrooms, time machines, Eddie Van Halen, fearlessness & discipline, Foxy, & moves that get me to the front.
