After crossing paths in 1992, singer Tania Doko and musician James Roche realised they shared a creative spark that would quickly evolve into pop/rock duo Bachelor Girl. The pair tell us about the road to getting signed with Ross Fraser and John Farnham's label, Gotham Records, and how their top 5 debut single, "Buses And Trains" was part of that journey. Tania and James reflect on the success of that song and how it led to being signed by US industry heavyweight Clive Davis and a revised version of debut album Waiting For The Day. While overseas success wasn't to be, Bachelor Girl followed their first local hit with others like "Permission To Shine", "I'm Just A Girl" and "Treat Me Good". We hear about the inspiration behind their songs, the pressures involved in their second album, Dysfunctional, and how record company politics led to their joint career being put on hold. Tania also reveals details of her solo record deal, which was also cut short in the mid-2ooos, and her stint as a mentor on Popstars Live. Then, the story of how they reunited for singles "Speak" and "Calling Out Your Name" in recent years is also told.

At this point in 2002, Max was asked to go on tour with a Brazilian band named Udora, that had a record deal with Clive Davis's record label called J Records. Udora was one of the opening bands for Jerry Cantrell, Mad At Gravity, & a band called Comes With The Fall that featured future Alice In Chains vocalist William DuVall. As you can imagine, there are many hilarious stories that come along with Max being the driver & Tour Manager on an American Tour.

With the beginning of November comes 2 major events here in the US that we decided to Frankenstein together… Hence, Election Day Of The Dead! Join us as we wax poetically about political wax. No matter what side you are on (the ass, the pachyderm, or the angry anarchist), we can all come together to celebrate those that have passed on and rock out to some politically charged rock n’ punk n’ metal!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. Bear Vs. Shark – “Entrance Of The Elected” from Terrorhawk(2005)
2. Corrosion Of Conformity – “Vote With A Bullet” from Blind (1991) 
3. Death – “Politician In My Eyes” from …For The Whole World To See(1975)
4. B-Ners – “Politics” from Back To Mexico (2013)
5. T.S.O.L. – “Abolish Government / Silent Majority” from The Black EP (1981)
6. NIL8 – “Political Suicide” fromAloha Means Goodbye You Filthy Explorer(2005)
7. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – “US Government” from Take Them On, On Your Own (2003)
8. Arcadia – “Election Day” from So Red The Rose (1985)

Lucky Number 13.... In this episode we bring in Max's lifelong friend & adventure partner David Brown who we reference in almost every episode up to this point. David has worked in the music industry since the early 1980's, Produced Oliver Magnum, Guns N Roses, Forte, Udora & many more. They discuss how they met, some of the legendary shows they've gone to as well as getting lost en route to an Iron Maiden Show & ended up in the wrong city. David managed a band from Brazil called Diesel who changed their name to Udora. They showcased for Clive Davis & J Records with whom they ended up signing a record deal. David calls Max to help them navigate the touring world in the United States which saw them go out on the road with Flaw, Otep, & a legendary tour with Jerry Cantrell which featured opening band "Comes With The Fall" who's lead singer William Duvall would end up fronting the reformed Alice In Chains years later.

The 1970s were a magic time at the newly formed Arista Records. Overseen by Clive Davis, the label quickly became a contender with a murder's row of talent. Now, Mitchell Cohen has written the definitive history of the label, Looking for the Magic: New York City, the 70s and the Rise of Arista Records.

Also, we discuss this year's Gathering of the Juggalos, the new ICP filter and the exact size of Mitchell's book. You know, important stuff.

You can get Mitchell's book wherever you get your books. For more information, check out the website for publisher Trouser Press Books, or follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

In honor of Black Music Appreciation Month and singer, songwriter Phyllis Hyman, our guest is Glenda Gracia, the executrix for The Estate of Phyllis Hyman and the former founding Executive Director of the Black Music Association responsible, along with other music execs, for lobbying then President Jimmy Carter to launch the perennial celebration of Black Music Month and host an inaugural celebration on the White House lawn in June, 1979. 

As one of the people who knew her best, Glenda managed the uber-talented singer with the impeccable and distinguishable voice, Phyllis Hyman from 1985 until her untimely passing in June, 1995.  Glenda had a unique relationship with Phyllis who felt like she was always struggling to have her voice heard. "Phyllis was one of the most extraordinarily bright people that I know. I'm gonna say she was genius. She had very significant ideas about the way she wanted to do things and who she wanted to be." says Glenda "I wanted to always honor that."  

Today, Glenda continues to uplift Phyllis' legacy. In 2021, a little over four decades from the launch of Phyllis Hyman, the Old Friend: The Deluxe Collection 1976 - 1998,  a nine-disc box set that rounds up all of Hyman’s studio albums cut across the Buddah, Arista and PIR labels, was released.

Join host, Brad Johnson and Glenda as they reminisce about their personal experiences with Phyllis (including track interludes) who was a frequent visitor to Brad's late father, Howard's NYC's Upper West Side restaurant, The Cellar.  Glenda, an accomplished business woman, describes how she became Phyllis' manager and her shared experiences with the complex and troubled artist. We also hear about Glenda's deep dedication to personal transformation through the study of mysticism and sacred teachings on her way to a certification as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, learning that while paths are many – truth is one. Join us at the corner table!
