Episode 26: Garrett Bond
<p><span>Hi, welcome to “</span><strong>As an Artist</strong><span>.” A Local Famous Records podcast about local artists, their art, the creative process and the local scene. My name is Anthony Sosa and thank you for joining us. On this episode we have my longtime friend and bandmate Garrett Bond. Garrett and I have known each other for over 20 years and have played in multiple projects together. I’m excited to finally get him on and have a great conversation. We cover all sorts of things like his musical influences and getting into playing music. We talk about Denton in the mid 2000’s and his joining The Raven Charter and eventually his other projects over the years, including Crown Lucia, 411 and most recently Double Bear and Temporal Distortions. He also gives us a run-down of his bass collection. Always fun and kick-ass, I introduce to you Garrett Bond. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>“El Shotgun” link </span><a href="https://tidal.com/album/488313052/u" rel="nofollow">https://tidal.com/album/488313052/u</a><span> </span></p><p><span>Double Bear Link Tree </span><a href="https://linktr.ee/DoubleBear" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/DoubleBear</a></p><p><span>Double Bear Bandcamp </span><a href="http://doublebear.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://doublebear.bandcamp.com/</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><p><span>Far East Coast Luthier: </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/fareastcoastluthiery/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/fareastcoastluthiery/</a><span> </span></p><p><span> </span><a href="http://www.thedallascreativecollective.com" rel="nofollow">www.thedallascreativecollective.com</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>The Red Hot Chili Peppers - All Around the World </span><a href="https://youtu.be/NlP2lvUneAU?si=qUHjUM7Bg2JImKpW" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/NlP2lvUneAU?si=qUHjUM7Bg2JImKpW</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe </span><a href="https://youtu.be/X-o8eGhKhlI?si=nO79ebVQotVCVe6r" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/X-o8eGhKhlI?si=nO79ebVQotVCVe6r</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Saving Your Own - Cherub’s Cry </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1P6VudiBUu49fsufnANrJvlDQjZflLwmi?usp=drive_link" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1P6VudiBUu49fsufnANrJvlDQjZflLwmi?usp=drive_link</a><span> </span> </p><p><br></p><p><span>TONY FRANKLIN SIGNATURE FRETLESS ( on Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill) </span><a href="https://youtu.be/HYwNM1t9ltI?si=DKWgHLk-a5g2fPJi" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/HYwNM1t9ltI?si=DKWgHLk-a5g2fPJi</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Temporal Distortions - Class Struggle </span></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/YXYBoW2QpbA?si=RaBF6k8GhlqJ8uxl" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/YXYBoW2QpbA?si=RaBF6k8GhlqJ8uxl</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Dream Theater Stream of Consciousness </span><a href="https://youtu.be/nJE9-TjYArs?si=9Ec9zKCsEUCAdlxJ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/nJE9-TjYArs?si=9Ec9zKCsEUCAdlxJ</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>The Raven Charter - Sacrifice </span></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/M_o5cn6Claw?si=6tuCm-Qj9rxaNQan" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/M_o5cn6Claw?si=6tuCm-Qj9rxaNQan</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>The Raven Charter - The Kidnapping </span><a href="https://youtu.be/9OmxinTapXk?si=-mhBWcstiV3zNHbQ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/9OmxinTapXk?si=-mhBWcstiV3zNHbQ</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>The Raven Charter - Edge </span></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/zsL8IoTyCT0?si=Y5vcga7kHOKwQWC8" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/zsL8IoTyCT0?si=Y5vcga7kHOKwQWC8</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Panther City Rebellion Podcast Ep.2 Double Bear</span></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRtSV8rMWAo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRtSV8rMWAo</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Double Bear - Free and Easy</span></p><p><a href="https://tidal.com/album/488313052/u" rel="nofollow">https://tidal.com/album/488313052/u</a><span> </span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><span>If you would like to be interviewed please reach out to @localfamousrecords on Instagram and Twitter and </span><a href="mailto:localfamousrecords@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">localfamousrecords@gmail.com</a></p><p><span>--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span>Follow us on Instagram @as_an_artist_pod</span></p><p><span>Theme song “Ascension” by Codecrasher </span></p><p><a href="https://codecrasher.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow">https://codecrasher.bandcamp.com/releases</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/localfamousrecords" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/localfamousrecords</a></p><p><a href="http://www.localfamousrecords.com" rel="nofollow">www.localfamousrecords.com</a><span> </span></p>

Episode 25: Say When
<p><span>Hi, welcome to “</span><strong>As an Artist</strong><span>.” A Local Famous Records podcast about local artists, their art, the creative process and the local scene. My name is Anthony Sosa and thank you for joining us. On this episode we have Say When. The song you just heard is called Birds and Adam Penland, myself, and the band recorded it here in The LFR Workshop in Portales, NM. Say When is also from Portales and is comprised of Zach Morris on Vocals and trombone, Isaiah Duty on lead guitar, Roman Galvan on keys, trumpet and backup vocals, Juan Diaz on bass and Dalton Binkley on drums. With Adam co-hosting with me, we discuss the band's history and how they interact with each other to produce their music as well as their writing process and the songs they recorded just before the podcast. At the end of the podcast you will hear the other two songs recorded during this session: Ghost Song and Loose Change. You can also catch the video of the live performance on the LFR Youtube channel.</span></p><p><span>Birds Live at the LFR Workshop </span><a href="https://youtu.be/qC0CEcJNVeY?si=FteWz8yyX6LTsM9L" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/qC0CEcJNVeY?si=FteWz8yyX6LTsM9L</a><span> </span></p><p><span>The Say When Bandcamp</span></p><p><span>Say When Recordings recorded by Adam Penland and mixed by Isaiah Duty</span></p><p><span>xx</span></p><p><strong>References: </strong></p><p><span>Day of the Baphomets by The Mars Volta : </span><a href="https://youtu.be/hnVFGz0xYKE?si=IlrYWaejnUiHlitp" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/hnVFGz0xYKE?si=IlrYWaejnUiHlitp</a></p><p><span>Night in Tunisia by Jesus Molina: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/4RaR210hglo?si=SrpJjjJVt88-x0Np" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/4RaR210hglo?si=SrpJjjJVt88-x0Np</a><span> </span></p><p><span>Right Now by Van Halen </span><a href="https://youtu.be/RsiuttB-WVs?si=iuVDtZOegC1lfbFJ" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/RsiuttB-WVs?si=iuVDtZOegC1lfbFJ</a><span> </span></p><p><span>Stream of Consciousness by Dream Theater: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/nJE9-TjYArs?si=wCZc6vuyavntwL81" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/nJE9-TjYArs?si=wCZc6vuyavntwL81</a><span> </span></p><p><span>Check the Rhyme by A Tribe Called Quest: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/1QWEPdgS3As?si=TdgfYMqQmIXrjxZS" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/1QWEPdgS3As?si=TdgfYMqQmIXrjxZS</a><span> </span></p><p><span>The Rover by Led Zeppelin: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/GRooHlfZM3s?si=t21Yb6kYka12-8FC" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/GRooHlfZM3s?si=t21Yb6kYka12-8FC</a><span> </span></p><p><span>Take Me Home by Pentatonix: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/hwj0tYpT08U?si=kdSD62Q92GYl4EAz" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/hwj0tYpT08U?si=kdSD62Q92GYl4EAz</a><span> </span></p><p><span> Knives Out by Radiohead: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/2Lpw3yMCWro?si=r1tbTtULEsMi-SGI" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/2Lpw3yMCWro?si=r1tbTtULEsMi-SGI</a><span> </span></p><p><span>If you would like to be interviewed please reach out to @localfamousrecords on Instagram and Twitter and </span><a href="mailto:localfamousrecords@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">localfamousrecords@gmail.com</a></p><p><span>--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span>Follow us on Instagram @as_an_artist_pod</span></p><p><span>Theme song “Ascension” by Codecrasher </span></p><p><a href="https://codecrasher.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow">https://codecrasher.bandcamp.com/releases</a><span> </span></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/localfamousrecords" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/localfamousrecords</a></p><p><a href="http://www.localfamousrecords.com" rel="nofollow">www.localfamousrecords.com</a><span> </span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
