CAPE

In the second half of their chat, Chris and Militia Vox explore her album The Villainess and how it evolved into visual and immersive experiences.   They also delve into her newfound love of horror film scoring, how artists are more appreciated in death, why bands’ shirts are fashionable even when the music isn’t, lessons learned from the pandemic, and how Judas Priestess helped her fulfill a longtime ambition to front an all-female band.

What does the title mean?  Listen to find out!  Chris welcomes back guitarist and cousin Pete Murano from Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.  The two chat about their extensive family tree along with predictions for the return of live music, how it has felt to be off the road for an entire year, cooking for Instagram, 2021’s very unique Mardi Gras, and what happens behind the scenes on late night talk shows.

Chris welcomes Andrew, Ryan and Jack back to the show to share their vaccine status along with intense discussions about going back out into the world, ordering seafood at a steak house, the Anti-Ryan Movement, irresistible accents, and what to do when you encounter a drunken Midwestern mother.

Since we’re approaching a full year since the pandemic and lockdown began, Chris looks at where we are today compared to last year, including how quarantine kickstarted the return of CAPE.  He gives a brief history of the show for those of you who have come along since 2020, plus he details future plans for the show’s Patreon and gives a quick review of the new Spongebob movie.

Chris explains how delays and exhaustion caused this episode to be completed late (and offers a little tease for next week’s guest) before he and Jack commiserate about getting their parents to adapt to modern technology.

After chasing Andrew off the show with some ill-fated jokes at his expense, Chris follows up on his critter invasion from last summer.  He also finally shares some fan mail with Andrew and Jack, rants about the need for the recently passed stimulus, and the three rightfully tear apart the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame for this year’s nominees and snubs.
