Скачать или смотреть 209. MOBY GRAPE'S DON STEVENSON & PETER LEWIS (PARTT 1: S/T & WOW) (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 3)

Episode 3 of our Grape Expectations Series features two—count ‘em, TWO SEPARATE INTERVIEWS with drummer Don Stevenson and guitarist Peter Lewis, each of whom gives their own Rashomon-like perspective on the fascinating early part of Moby Grape’s career. Disastrous tours, lawsuits, police busts, horribly nefarious managers, a fake touring version of the band, mysterious black magic witches, and drug-induced madness.  And, no joke—that’s just within the band’s first two years. 


The first episode of my conversations with both Don & Peter features both men discussing their first two records, the self-titled debut and Wow, right up to when Skip had his breakdown.


Here’s just a few of the many things that Don & Peter both separately discuss with Discograffiti in Part 1 of our conversation:


How the band initially coalesced;
The early days finding their sound at The Ark;
How the major label feeding frenzy over the band wound up impacting them;
Don’s infamous front cover middle finger;
An in-depth discussion of their legendary self-titled debut;
The steep downhill slide that began literally on the night of their launch party;
And the time Skip broke down crying in the studio when the reaction to his new song wasn’t as he’d expected.
Then, for good measure, Peter drops a bomb at the end of the whole thing.
