Episode 755: Kalijah / Fifty Eight Hundred

Hello friends! We have a Friday double-header for you today! First up, Miami rock band, Fifty Eight Hundred and I have a great chat via Skype. These dudes, all under 20 years old, are bringing the rock power to the world all the way from Miami. The project began in January 2015 when bassist, Yannick Waingarten, and drummer Nic Collins, formed the band after playing on stage together for the first time in December 2014. With the addition of lead guitarist, Joey Rodriguez and vocalist Jacob Maicol, the band was complete and they released their debut self-titled album. We have a great conversation about making rock music in Miami in 2018, recording their debut album,  Nic's other gig, playing drums with his dad, Phil Collins and much more! Go to fiftyeighthundred.com for music, tour dates videos and more. Next up, Austin rock band, Kalijah is dropping their debut album, Mouth Of The Cave next Friday, December 7th and they're celebrating with a release show that same night at Swan Dive here in Austin. Go to kalijahmusic.com for music, videos, tour dates and more. We have a great conversation about making Mouth Of The Cave, making real rock and roll, how they came together, their grown up jobs in physics and science and much more! I hope you enjoy getting to know all of these fabulously talented people. I sure did. Let's get down!

Ciao! -JG
