In Episode 8 I talk to Heli from Brisbane band the Glycereens. Note this was recorded a few days after I saw them in Brisbane with Nunchukka Superfly and was intending to see them again in Sydney on August 9 however they have unfortunately had to cancel. Heli was gracious with her time and answers and we discuss (among other things):

  • Gigging with Shonen Knife and being able to partake in their rider
  • The "Glyco Therapy" album and how it pays tribute to Nath
  • Early influences from Finland to Australia
  • Heli's early bands in Brisbane and how the Glycereens formed
  • Songwriting and creativity
  • And gear talk! Fuzz pedals, Fender Jaguars and amps!
  • Heli also reveals her technique on how to fit a Fender Twin into a Honda Jazz

And there are also two songs from the Gylcereens. "Jane Street" just before the chat starts and "Poison Ivy" at the end. Both are cracking songs from "Glyco Therapy."

Enjoy!
