Titanic Reaction with Tony MengisBad Sex @badsex_official talk about Portland music, I think we even talked about Seafood Mama, their (Portland) famous relatives and a surprisingly (at least to me) diverse group of influences.

Titanic Reaction with Tony MengisPunk Women in Business Part 2 Here is part 2 with Carmen, Alexz, Roz and Shelly. We moved on from being women in business to being women in punk.

Titanic Reaction with Tony MengisThe EpoxiesPortland music always has its up and downs. The late 90's were seriously down. Around that time came the exact opposite of what was happening. A woman up front, checkered Vans, spandex pants, electrical tape, and best of all.....keyboards. Joining me today is FM Static and Roxy Epoxy from The Epoxies.
