So, what’s it to you?
w/ Nick Van Bakel
Buckle up: you’re about to enter a strange zoo of kaleidoscoping rhythms, hypnotic spells, vibrations, and an age of aquarius blips. In other words, the wild dossier of Bananagun. Accept no substitute. We had a moment to chat with head banana, Nick Van Bakel, to discuss his journey of music throughout his life.

w/ Sam Cooper
Confessions to love, fragility, and comfort have been a constant throughout Sam Cooper’s musical journey. In playing with Sagamore, Crepes, Sledgehammer, and Swazi Gold, his habitual style casts any guitar lick into something entirely of his own. We spoke to Sam recently on the records that have been alongside him in the past.
