Episode 194 - Steevi Jaimz

Straight To Video

07/01/22 • 52 min

We talk to Steevi Jaimz - Singer Songwriter and Vocalist for Tigertailz on their 1987 debut album 'Young & Crazy' which celebrates it's 35th Anniversary this year. Steevi's journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster and one that should cement him as one of the Hard Rock genre's most treasured survivors. In our hugely entertaining chat we try and cover as much as we can from his first introductions to Rock & Roll, meeting Tailz drummer Ace Finchum and their early adventures on the Sunset Strip to Steevi's arrival and departure from one of the UK's biggest Glam Rock Bands of the 80s. Brutally honest throughout, very little is left out or covered up in what is a great snapshot of a much missed rock and roll scene.

Episode 82 - Adam Slack

Straight To Video

04/23/21 • 53 min

We talk to Adam Slack - Guitarist for rock and roll band The Struts. Adam takes us back to his early days growing up and his love of pop music before diving down the rock and punk path after being blown away seeing his first Green Day video - something that would later come full circle when his heroes would acknowledge his songwriting in the most amazing way possible. During his journey we learn of the incredible but bumpy path The Struts would have to take on their road to success and along the way hear about record shop instores with McFly, last minute calls to support The Rolling Stones, Motley Crue's Tommy Lee trying his best to understand a Welsh accent but most of all we learn that talent, drive and the most bizarre twists of fate and chance can lead to much deserved success and a lot of fun.

We talk to Jack J Hutchinson - British Blues Rock Guitarist & Songwriter.

This would lead to her working as an executive at two major label groups and building the industry’s first A&R research platform, connecting A&R executive staff, scouts, artists and data. We learn of some of the exciting events in her career such as booking Nirvana at the infamous 1991 show in Dallas to being one of the first people to shine light on The Killers before they'd barely stepped out of the rehearsal room.
