Episode 64 – Mick Collins: Extended Interview

The Third Men Podcast is proud to present an all-new exclusive extended interview with a Rock'n'Roll legend, the one and only Mick Collins! Jack White fans know Mick for many things, but first and foremost as a founding member of one of the most influential rock bands to ever tear up a stage, The Gories. Every major movement stands on the shoulders of the giants who came before, and the Detroit rock revival that catapulted Jack White to stardom was a culmination of decades of visionary artistry from acts like The Stooges, MC5 and the high energy, blues/punk-infused sound that Mick Collins, Dan Kroha and Peggy O'Neill created. It's a tough act to follow, but follow it Mick did with the foundation of a new art project that would evolve into White Stripes contemporaries The Dirtbombs. With such members as TMR co-founder Ben Blackwell, Raconteur Patrick Keeler and former White Stripes producer Jim Diamond, this new band's connections to the Third Man Records universe run deep, and the group stands amongst the most prominent and successful acts to emerge from the era. Mick's other groups are no slouch either, from The Voltaire Brothers to The Screws to Blacktop and beyond, he continues to weave one of richest tapestries in modern music. And then he called-in to our show! We here at the Third Men podcast would like to thank Mick for joining us – it was a pleasure interviewing him and one of the most spontaneous, lively and fun interviews we've ever had the pleasure of conducting! If for nothing else, stay for the bowling tips!
