The Courettes Are Back!
Tuesday, August 13th, 2024 by The Professor
All the way from Denmark (ok, last night from Richmond) it’s The Courettes! Flavia & Martin (and Peter) came by the station ahead of their show tonight at the Metro Baltimore (Metro Gallery). They’re back for a short US tour and hitting the East coast. We chatted about their new album The Soul of The Fabulous Courettes, coming out September 27th, but already in our excited little hands… Hear how they were able to get La La Brooks (of The Crystals) to guest on 2 songs (both out as a cool 45 right now) and others they want to work with. A bit about graphic design, a cool arts program in Denmark and the plans their 8yr old is secretly working to move them to Hawaii. Check them out!

Maryland Deathfest – Sunday, May 26
Thursday, July 18th, 2024 by Liz Kosik
by Fred, the drummer from Dismember, told me to meet Matti at the hotel they were staying at to do the interview before they left for Sweden. This was a very big moment for me. I LOVE their first album and the second album is amazing as well. The members of this band have been international superstars in the death metal community for decades, and I was about to sit down with the lead singer. I met Matti in the lobby of the hotel and he led me over to a quiet spot that had a few chairs and a table. While I was setting up the recorder for the interview he offered to get me a coffee. There’s no way I’m gonna turn down a coffee from the lead singer of Dismember, I mean, c’mon.
