About Hanging On Sunset

No matter where or what time, the world has always brought forth artists who challenge & push the limits they see in it. And nothing has proved this more than the rebels who’ve defined the times we nostalgically recall of rock n’ roll. Rock n’ roll is still alive and we prove it. In every interview is captured the essence of an old soul in the modern age - beyond the boulevard and the stage we look into the minds of tomorrow’s rock n’ roll stars. The up-and-coming artists we seek reflect the rebellion of rock n’ roll past - they are here now, not for long in hiding. Come hang with us.

   Season 3 Episode 11 // THEORY OF A DEADMAN - An interview backstage at the Wiltern

   Hey, what's up folks? Welcome to another episode of my podcast. I'm your host, Vincent Jacob, and today we're coming to you from the heart of LA, where I had the chance to sit down with the guys from Theory of a Deadman backstage at one of my favorite venues… The Wiltern. These rockers from the Great White North have been doing their thing since 2001, and let me tell you, they've still got it! With 7 albums under their belt and a brand new one called 'Dinosaur', they're out here killing the game on their tour with Skillet and Saint Asonia. During our conversation, we talked about everything from their latest album to their end-of-the-world survival plans. We even touched on their rewrite of 'Just the Two of Us', which let's just say, involves a certain virus we've all been dealing with. These guys are as cool as they come and had me laughing throughout the interview, all while still managing to show their passion for their craft. I mean, seriously, these guys could be out playing golf, but instead, they're out here rocking it out like champs. We also dug into their collaborations with legends like Alice Cooper and their experience playing the 'Dancing Queen' piano at ABBA's studio in Stockholm. And of course, we had to talk about the 'Rock Resurrection' tour and whether rock music is really dead or alive and kicking. But don't just take my word for it, stick around and listen to the full interview. I promise, it's a good one! And after our chat, my boy Julien and I caught the last show of their tour, and it was properly insane! These guys really know how to put on a show and left everything on that stage. So, what are you waiting for? Let's dive into my conversation with Tyler, Dave, Dean, and Joey from Theory of a Deadman, right here on the Hanging on Sunset Podcast. As always, hit us up at hangingonsunset@gmail.com or slide into our DMs on Instagram @HangingOnSunset. Let's get this party started!

   Season 3 Episode 10 // DEAR BOY - A 2 hour conversation with Ben Grey

   It's time to get deep and talk music with another incredible artist. Today we have Ben Grey, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the LA-based indie rock band Dear Boy, joining us for a special episode of Hanging On Sunset. Dear Boy has been making waves in the indie music scene since their formation in 2011, with their dreamy, anthemic sound and influences from post-punk, new wave, and alternative rock. They've released several EPs and one full-length album, earning critical acclaim and a devoted following along the way. In this episode, Ben takes us on a journey through the band's story, from their early days to their latest release, "Forever Sometimes." We'll dive into the creative process behind their music, the challenges they've faced as a band, and what's next for Dear Boy. But this conversation went even deeper than just the music. Ben and I explored some philosophical subjects, discussing the meaning of life, the nature of creativity, and the importance of human connection. It was a conversation that went on for nearly 2 hours, and I was blown away by Ben's insights. Also, quick heads up for all you music lovers out there. Tomorrow night at Genghis Cohen, Ben Grey, lead vocalist and guitarist of Dear Boy, will be performing as a solo act. And let me tell you, you won't want to miss it. Not only is Ben a fantastic musician in his own right, but he's also opening for the incredible Scout Gillett, who we had the pleasure of interviewing on our podcast in our last episode. So if you're looking for a night of great music, be sure to head over to Genghis Cohen tomorrow night and catch Ben's solo performance and Scout's amazing set. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Now sit back, relax, and get ready for an unforgettable episode of Hanging On Sunset with Ben Grey of Dear Boy.

   Season 3 Episode 9 // SCOUT GILLETT

   If you're looking for a singer who isn't afraid to be raw, honest, and unapologetic in their music, then you need to know about Scout Gillett. I got to watch her perform solo at the Zebulon towards the end of last year, and I was moved to tears. That doesn't happen a lot those days for me. Her latest album, "No Roof No Floor", is a testament to her journey as an artist and a singer. "When I'm recording a song, it's crucial for me to have a personal connection to it." Scout says. "I want to deliver an authentic performance, one that comes straight from the heart." This approach is evident in every track on the album, which showcases her powerful voice and emotional depth. But Scout isn't just about the music – she's also dedicated to making a positive impact on her community. As someone who has been trained in NARCAN (https://www.narcan.com/), a program that provides education and resources to help people respond to opioid overdoses, Scout sees this as an opportunity to give back and make a difference. Tour life is where Scout truly shines, and she loves the energy and excitement of live audiences. "There's something magical about sharing your music with a live audience" she says. "It's a connection that can't be replicated." If you're in LA, you'll be able to witness that with your own soul because Scout is back on March 21st, on a very interesting bill put on by Sid The Cat (https://www.instagram.com/sidthecat/), the best booker in town. Plus, she will be sharing the stage with Ben Grey, the leader of Dear Boy, who appears to be the next guest on our couch. https://scoutgillettmusic.bandcamp.com/ (https://scoutgillettmusic.bandcamp.com/) https://capturedtracks.com/artist/scout-gillett/ (https://capturedtracks.com/artist/scout-gillett/) - Vincent Walter Jacob
