06. Old Time Relijun

Nov 6

Arrington DeDionyso's apocalyptic dance-punk combo Old Time Relijun have recently returned from a ten-year hiatus with a new album "See Now and Know" and a tour that started the night before this episode's release. He joins me and guest co-host Jeremy Schwartz to discuss the origins of the group, influences, lyrical themes and sonic aesthetics. This is a band on a mission to make you dance. Their formula is equal parts joy and terror. This was recorded at Thurston Community Media's studio in Olympia, WA by guest engineer Andrew Ebright.
