Kassey Kulikowski sits down for her first episode of her podcast! She talks about the 2022 year of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal and counts down her favorite scare zones and houses.

This past weekend before KCSU's very first Fools Fest, local music director Dillon King brought in Peter Koschnitzke of Cosmic Problems and Hannah Rust from HYGEIA to talk about their musical experiences. 

Local music director Dillon King interviews local musician Matt Dooley this week for the "KCSU Live In-Studio" podcast. Dooley is a dedicated frontman for not just one local band, but currently four, mostly within the hardcore scene. His band Old Skin just released its first EP, "Towering Monolith of Flesh," on March 11. His other bands are Sinister Pig, Violent High and Trench Knife. 

Michael "Blasti" Gormley runs the non-profit Blast n' Scrap here in Fort Collins. The multi-media venue is a catalyst for the DIY scene and gives good people good opportunities. He has partnered with several other non-profits to help foster community efforts. This week KCSU local music director, Dillon King, sat down and talked about the past, present and future hopes for the organization.

Shadow Work is a three-piece band currently based out of Denver after moving separately from Boise, Idaho. This week they bring psychedelic rock to the KCSU Live In-Studio show to promote their upcoming album that will be released this fall.

The song titles in the order played are: Trashcan Parade, Fox in the Coop, Warm Tones, Abelia, and Old Cartoons.

Contact the band at contact@shadowork.info.

David Miner is a communications major at Colorado State University. Before moving to Colorado, he grew up in the Seattle, Washington, area, only playing with his Marshall Stack in his basement. Now you can find him playing shows up and down the Front Range along with his band.

His first album was inspired by historical fiction. He sings about this in his song "Virginia Dale," which tells of the best stagecoach hand until his own self-destruction led to his demise.

Another song based on history is called "Silver Valley," which is the title track and name of his first album, and "Telling Me" is about a character whose self-inflicted struggle was in order to provide for his family.

Recently Miner's inspiration for writing songs has changed. During the interview, he tells KCSU's Dillon King how he prepared to record 10 songs that he called the headlines of his life.

From the mind that brought you "Cancellation Compilation" and the riveting album "Spruce Aly" comes a new project by Sunnnner called "Sunnnner." Formerly known as Sad Bug, Sunnnner is a Boulder-based band that offers you "sweet tea for your parched throat" and unapologetic activism through music, merch and social influence. Sunnnner vocalist/manager, Sebastian 'Rane' Miranda, is the overseer of many different projects, including "DIY Casual." These livestreams helped keep the local music scene afloat during quarantine. You could watch, tip and enjoy local bands from the comfort (and safety) of your own home.

"Sunnnner" is the band's newest album and will release officially on June 15. This project showcases grit, honesty and beauty, reminding listeners to appreciate all the little moments that make up life. The dripping nostalgia of house-shows-past echoes throughout each track and encapsulates how late nights, cigarettes, bonfires and drinking with your much cooler friends feel. When you can't sleep, Sunnnner is a walk in the park on a cold winter morning, leaving you pining for a specific moment in time to live over and over again.

You can listen to "Forever" off "Sunnnner" in this exclusive interview with Rane. KCSU station manager Asher Korn sits down to learn more about Sunnnner's various hats and to explore bright, hopeful dreams of the future; cloudy storms of the past; and what drives someone to constantly create and selflessly give back to the community. 

A special thank-you to our local music director, Maddy Erskine, for editing and publishing this podcast and for creating the cover art featured.
