interveiw

Just us again! Fresh from set shooting a music video together, Colin and Zane talk about everything up coming from Sexy Tornado.  The also get into some "remember when" talking about our old adventures working on the road together. Dig it.

Comedian, Biniam Bizuneh, tells us all about his journey to the top of his game, and what it feels like when you actually get there. His journey took him through all aspects of entertainment, across the country a few times and deep within himself to a better understanding of who he is and what makes him happy in life. Also, we discuss the the best sushi spot in LA so at the very least you'll want to listen to this week's episode for that. BE INDIE!

Indie Bad Boy, Chris Dillon pops into the garage to hit us with some real talk. Today Chris is in multiple comedy rock bands in L.A. but back in Oklahoma he was the toast of the Emo scene. Check out Chris playing with the Chroma Keys all over L.A. and at the world famous Comedy store with the Kill Tony Podcast.

Director and stand up Brodie Reed is in the garage talking what it takes to make great original comedy in L.A. while keeping the lights on. Check out his work at channel101.com and @ayo.bro.bro on twitter.

We're with the founders of Shittty Stufff, L.A. based online seller of antisocial pins and patches. And let us tell you, they are total shit heads... Shittty Stufff is founded on the principles that life sucks and dicks are funny. In addition to their own designs, Shittty Stufff sell items from tons of other completely shitty artists. Our interview is recorded right on the heels of their first big event in DTLA, Shittty Valentimes Day. We talk about the success of that party and about what the future holds for these two assholes. 

L.A. has a brand new comedy theater! Lindsey Barrow is the co-founder of The Ruby L.A. (formerly the Nerdist School Stage) The Ruby is a feminist, all inclusive, theater focused on giving a voice to L.A.s funniest! Regardless of any damn thing that makes assholes think they are not L.A.s funniest. Lindsey and her partners are moving hard and fast to make this indie dream come true! The Ruby is throwing a huge festival this Saturday April 7! Check it out and be indie! Get More info and tickets to select festival time slots at: therubyla.com @the_ruby_la

Omar Najam is a director, podcaster, actor, and a very intelligent and thoughtful young man. We go deep on this one, talking about everything from social justice in entertainment, race, and that time Omar drank too much vodka in college (he's so cool.) Please enjoy and check out all of Omar's awesome work including the upcoming web series; Fictional Fares. https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/fictionalfares#story

Ernest Adams is the genuine article. Before co-staring in FX's Baskets; Ernest lived a hell of a life. We talk about the many paths that life takes us down on along the way: Acting, roping, clowning, ballet, and so much more. If you need prof that you never know what's around the corner and it's never too late to grab the bull by horns this is the show for you.

Hill Bauman is an award winning artist and all around indie badass! In addition to being one of the most positive people we've ever interviewed, she is a muralist, she works on films and stage productions, creates graphic novels and more! She's in the garage talking about the hows and whys of her creative process. Don't miss it.

Indy Cred is back baby!!! Kicking off season two we have the hysterical, Jen Bashian, in the garage with us. We talk about improv, acting, moving to L.A. and the ever elusive fame. Jen is an amazing performer and was recently added to The Groundlings Sunday Company and appeared in Adult Swim's Black Jesus. Heads up Zane and Colin take about 8 min. trying to announce that the show is back... They are still bad at this.

Thats a wrap y'all! Zane and Colin just want to say thanks, give some sell out shout outs, and tell you about our plans for the future. Thanks for listening to the first season of Indie Cred. We hope that you have learned as much from all of the awesome guests as we have. We'll be back with more episodes for season 2 in a few months. Stay indie. Theme music by: Moon Mission Death Squad

This week Zane and Colin are joined by model and burlesque indie star, Grace Mars. Growing up with a fascination with beauty, cabaret, and naked people it makes a lot of sense she ended finding a home in the world of burlesque dancing. She's dropping knowledge on dancing, costuming, booking gigs and a lot more. Grace is taking brief hiatus from dancing to pursue some other badass endeavors including directing and editing music videos for LA rockers, Sleepmask. You can hear the song at the end of the show and check out the video right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVcInwsFhDw

It's pretty amazing how little we knew about professional gaming before we met Havana Mahoney. Luckily, she made her way into the garage to teach us all about it.  Growing up in a video game store, owned by her comedian parents, she's taken two lifelong passions and turned them into a career! We talk about building a fan base, cold calling, comedy, and dick-cocks. You can find Havana all over the place including all of these cool places on the internet!!!
