I recently had the honor of an in-studio visit by iconic Pacific Northwest musician and producer Tony Reed, frontman for revered hard rock outfit Mos Generator and numerous other projects. We had an epic chat about all things Mos Generator, including the status of the upcoming new album and some currently underway re-issues of classic works. We also talked about a myriad of other topics including his other bands, his label Music Abuse, tons of history, and the impact of record stores. This was a badass conversation that covered a lot of ground and lent some insight into the mind of one of our area's premiere musicians.

Mike Peacock- Host
Mike is a toxic by-product of the Pacific Northwest United States (Seattle Area). Having spent many years playing in bands, he now spends his time behind the scenes interviewing musicians and artists while working diligently towards the full-scale launch of the station-to-end-all-stations. While Mike's first musical love is Metal, he fully enjoys music from several genres, often leading to eclectic playlists and a wide variety of guests from varied backgrounds. His love of all things pop culture led him to join the Spoilerverse Network, which features other podcasts as well as blogs, articles, and art from many industry heavy-hitters. Someday, he will release the Death Metal album he recorded 30 years ago and change the world - Bill & Ted Style. Either that, or it will continue to be like Brian's novel from Family Guy...
