Hungry Lucy

Episode 24 of Tea with Hungry Lucy is here .. YAY! This week War-N and Christa talk about winding up weeks of video work in preparation for ElectroFest as well as a few other upcoming shows. Sadly, the planned West coat dates will not be happening in May after all. After some techincal difficulties War-N swears off playing live shows. Christa assures us he’s just being cranky.! The story behind the song this week digs into the song Softly (from the album To Kill a King). This is a very powerful song that needs paying attention to folks. In the OPM (other people’s music) segment, Christa talks about two albums from bands they both love. ThouShaltNot will release Land Dispute on May 23rd and Halou will also release Wholeness & Separation on the same day! Both great albums from great artists who aren’t afraid of change. War-N also talks about the band Múm and their album Summer Make Good. Odd vocals, quirky music … goodness. Rounding out the episode is the Thorn Apple song, Cracked Door Pane created by Christa, Sam, George and Ben (from Trigger 10d) and Shawn (from Bloodwire).

After a gaseous intro from Grant Mason (of Three from Leith) we commence with Episode 22 of Tea with Hungry Lucy. This week, Christa and War-N tell us about their latest performance with Entheos and the fabulous Kelly Evans Trio. Hungry Lucy’s performance was a tad glitchy due to some technical issues, but very well received. Christa is buried in video work for the upcoming ElectroFest. This week’s story behind the song focuses on Alfred (from the album Apparitions). In the OPM (other people’s music) segment, Christa shares the songs Flying High by Jem (from her Finally Woken album), Run by Air (from their Talkie Walkie album) and Asphole by Pigface (from their Notes From Thee Underground album).
