POWER POP SERIES: BOB GIFFORD (THE RINGS)

BJ is joined by Bob Gifford from the Boston band The Rings for another tale of the trials and tribulations of flirting with success in the music industry in the seventies going into the eighties. The episode includes great music, as usual.

STUART HARPER (IRON VIRGIN)

  

 

For this episode BJ is joined by Stuart Harper, the frontman for Junk Shop Glam cult favorites Iron Virgin. After Iron Virgin split up Stuart fronted two more bands in the late seventies, Miami and Orchid. For this episode Stuart was gracious enough to share with us unreleased original recordings from both of those bands. Never heard before! It's quite a treat!
