Episode 23 "The One With Mikey Young" - Friday 2pm-4pm 20.02.2009

Well what a big week!  This friday heralded the first special guest on Flip The Tape for 2009.  Joining me in the studio on friday was Mikey Young, Guitarist of Eddy Current Suppression Ring

A band that have had a strong local following since their mid 00s debut, Eddy Current have cut a niche in the local melbourne pub-rock/garage rock scene, releasing a string of albums and 7''s that call back to the days of 70s and 80s lo-fi punk and DIY rock.   2008's "Primary Colours" was mixed and recorded by Mikey Young on a 8-track recorder.   It was nominated for "Best rock release" at the 2008 ARIAs and has been shortlisted for the prestigious AMP award of 2008.

Mikey hit the studios to have a chat about their surprise ARIA nomination, their tour of the U.S, lo-fi recording aesthetics and the band's love for Vinyl records.

You'll be able to grab a podcast of the interview as soon as I cease being lazy and put it together (so around tomorrow afternoon).

In the meantime, you can check out Eddy Current Suppression Ring as they support New Orleans Organ/dance/funk artist "Quintron" on his australian tour.
