What band did you discover in 2024 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
My pal Jeff turned me on to Lord Spikeheart, a guy in Kenya making really wonderful techno-metal. It's a feast for the ears. I also discovered The Last Men, a New York band from the late '70s that put out a single on ZE Records. Soulful punk rock songs about necrophilia and stuff.
How will you remember 2024 (in terms of music)?
I've been writing the new Body Stuff album and, a few nights ago, I got to open for one of my heroes, Martin Rev.
What can we look forward to from you in 2025?
I'll be recording the new Body Stuff album. On top of that, I am thinking a lot about community these days and how I want to continue collaborating with people who inspire me, whether it's playing shows together or contributing to each other's songs. I also look forward to traveling and bringing Body Stuff to some new towns.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2025?
I like the new Dax Riggs songs I've heard.
How do you try to get your news to fans as media platforms and algorithms change?
With Body Stuff, the mission is to express myself as wholly and genuinely as I can. My energy goes into writing songs, making artwork, and performing with maximum conviction. People will take it or leave it.
