It's always exciting when Chris Staples has new music coming out so naturally we had to have him come by the studio to talk all about it.
Chris Staples will release his new album Holy Moly this Friday (6/28) on local label Barsuk Records. We talked about the new album and Chris gave us all the wild details on his upcoming backyard circus release show that will feature all kinds of attractions, not just great music from Chris and fellow local artist Sophia Duccini. There are only a few tickets left so you might want to jump on those soon.
We played some songs from the new album and got the behind the scene details on the new music video for "Old Friends." *SPOILER* Chris isn't the one doing all those rad flips in the video.
Chris dropped some knowledge on me about a local artist he's enjoying right now named Jacob John and we enjoyed new music from Dude York, Ben Zaidi, Happy Times Sad Times and more. Here is our full playlist from Sunday night:
