Legendary rock/power-pop artist Donnie Vie talks about his awesome new 7" single "Plain Jane" b/w "Instant Karma" (a stellar cover of the John Lennon classic) just released on Wicked Cool Records - that’s Little Steven Van Zandt’s label – and the single will be followed by a re-release of his incredible, most recent solo album, Beautiful Things, of which the song Plain Jane comes from.
Donnie also talks about his songwriting process and provides some enlightening analogies to describe how his amazing songs come together and how it all happens. Plus, your host has a hilarious and embarrassing lyrical faux pas with one of his favorite Enuff Z' Nuff songs.
The 7” vinyl is available now DonnieVie.com and DonnieVie.Bandcamp.com both “Plain Jane” and “Instant Karma” are also available at all your streaming platforms, and you can hear "Plain Jane" on the SiriusXM channel Little Steven’s Underground Garage.

Episode 21: Should Have Been Huge - Katmandu
It's a new installment of "Should Have Been Huge," where we take a dive into a band that should have seen far more success than they did, and why they didn't.
Katmandu was a short-lived hard rock band built around Dave King, fresh off his stint with Fastway, and several years before he reinvented himself musically as the frontman of Flogging Molly. Their lone, self-titled album was released on Epic Records in 1991, filled with big, bluesy and melodic hard rock, with that powerful sound producers Duane Baron and John Purdell became known for.
Katmandu had the songs, the musicianship, and a major label, but for a number of reasons, including timing, just never took off. Which is a shame, because this band and their self-titled debut album Should Have Been Huge!
