S1/EP16: Tim Race - Myrtle Parade

A deep dive behind the music and philosophy of the NYC art rock band BODEGA. BODEGA BEN breaks down each track from their new album 'Our Brand Could be Yr Life', exploring the theme of the record: the current state of underground rock music. Together with guests and friends including Bodega Bay members and current collaborators, they dissect the story behind the music.

For the first episode dedicated to the new BODEGA EP Brand on the Run, Ben interviews sometimes live BODEGA bassist and engineer/mixer Tim Race about recording ‘Myrtle Parade'. Ben and Tim also discuss Tim’s band Big Bliss, ‘butt rock’, covering Joy Division and Interpol, the BK DIY venue Aviv, sobriety in the music scene, the claps on ‘Genius of Love’, the origins of Earthquaker pedals and The Party of Helicopters, the NYC post punk class of 2018, Bodega Bay's version(s) of Endless Scroll, the spontaneous birth of 'Proof of Life', and the song Tim wrote to understand his dad’s PTSD as a Vietnam vet.
