As promised, here are some bonus clips with For Love Not Lisa guitarist Miles. Big thanks to Chip Midnight!
May 1, 2012
On episode #68, Chip Midnight returns with an album suggestion and interview to go along with it. We check out the 1993 album Merge
by For Love Not Lisa, and Chip talks to guitarist Miles.
Merge offers plenty of diversity, but is it too much of a good thing? We cover everything on this episode - how the wrong tours can frustrate a band, our first discussion of "Christian Rock" and it's development in the '90s, and a legendary guitarist showing up on a b-side track.
As a bonus, we'll be posting clips from Chips interview that didn't make the episode this Thursday. Consider it an early Cinco de Mayo present.
