Back to MUSIC CORNER, this time with a dear old friend of mine - Pete Davies from the electronic duo KOWA.
Pete and I have known each other for a very long time, and we actually were in each other's first band. We had a fun conversation catching up and hashing out some old times. Pete's a tremendous talent, he has had a very eclectic music career and is a multi-instrumentalist.
His current project KOWA - paired with his longtime collaborator Robinson Kuntz - is releasing their new EP "Play it Again" on April 24th through their bandcamp page (www.kowa.bandcamp.com). KOWA is really cool - they're a synthy dream-indie-pop band with a head-bobbing sound. If you like to groove, like to boogie down, like some sweet percussion then they're the group for you.
Other than sharing old stories about growing up in music - Pete and I talk about his history and how we've both spent the better part of 2 decades in the Napa music scene. We also break down our love for LCD Soundsystem and the art of putting together the perfect lineups, lots of great music discussion. I also play a little KOWA at the top and the end of the episode - so you can sample a little bit of what they're all about.
It was a really fun episode, I hope to have Pete on again in the future. We had a great conversation! Check out Episode 19: Music Corner w/ Pete Davies!
