(*both laugh*) The Dying Scene Interviews
Music:Music Interviews
For episode 40 of (*both laugh*), we went international again, this time catching up with Chachy Englund from Shanghai-based freak punk band Round Eye. The present incarnation of the band features ex-pats from three different countries (the US, Italy and Ireland), and are slated to officially release the physical version of their latest album, Culture Shock Treatment, via Sudden Death Records post haste (the digital release was handled last year by Paper + Plastick). And if you order the album (check the link below), there's a very realistic chance that it'll be in your grubby little paws WAY before anyone from the band actually sees it themselves.
Such is the way of the world when you're doing the punk rock thing under the watchful eye of the CCP. We covered a lot of ground with Chachy - literally and figuratively, and he's got a fascinating first-hand perspective on the COVID outbreak (and subsequent mismanagement), making a record with the iconic Mike Watt (and having it mixed by the equally iconic Bill Stevenson), the state of international touring, and the rigors of touring mainland China as a band of outsiders...and trying to return once you've toured outside the motherland. It's a fascinating chat if I do say so myself. Wonder if Chachy and his bandmates will actually get to watch it!
