All the way from Toronto – It’s the 24th Street Wailers on the phone with Nick & Bootsy!

“The 24th Street Wailers are a band that break all the rules. Lindsay Beaver is a firehaired gut bucket singer/drummer who fronts the band, who at first glance are anything but the norm. Emily Burgess on lead guitar may appear to be shy however her playing is both thoughtful and explosive. Saxophonist Jon Wong is a second generation Chinese Canadian who is a modern day version of a 50’s Rock n’ Roller. Rounding out the group is Lindsay’s Husband Michael Archer, a country boy at heart that turns his Harmony bass into a sound so big you’ll feel it in your soul. They truly are one of the most original and exciting bands on the scene today, the quartet quickly developed their tight grooves, unadulterated live show, and original repertoire in the three years they have been together. With their 2010 debut album Dirty Little Young’uns reaching #3 (CAN) and #8 (US) on the Roots Music Report and a smashing sophomore CD in 2012 titled Unshakeable, the band is gaining widespread national and international radio play.”

It’s an ALL REQUEST night in the Basement with Nick & Bootsy!

Here in the Basement, we get so much wonderful music from so many gifted bands and musicians that we just don’t seem to have time to play it all, even though we’d love to. We also know that you’ve heard a band or musician (or two or twenty) that you especially like but then didn’t hear them again for a long time. That’s why we want to give you the chance to request your favorites. Hey, we’ll even take requests for independent bands that we haven’t played on the show.

May 12, 2013 – Nathan Matlock on the Basement Tapes with Nick & Bootsy

Nick & Bootsy welcome Nathan Matlock, lead vocalist and rhythm guitar for Fall Autumn Tragedy, to the show for a return visit! Here’s what Nathan has to say about the band on ReverbNation:

“Fall Autumn Tragedy is a 4 piece band (for now) training a new guitarist, and possibly another in the soon future.! We are from Rolla Missouri, and we have played our way through many musicians, thus making it difficult to get things done. We are finally back on the right track, finding new members, and hopefully soon to record more songs. Our members right now consist of Nathan (vox/guitar) Erin (drums/vox) Brad (bass) and Mark (lead guitar). We will be soon trying out another guitarist to replace Nathan’s position as rhythm guitar. Also, we are in the process of booking new shows, so keep a sharp eye out everyone!!!”

We’re expecting a big announcement from Nathan, too, so tune in LIVE on K-KID 92.9fm Sunday, May 12, or online for the replay on Insane Realm Radio Thursday, May 16.
