This week on the show, we break some new ground. It's not often we are afforded a chat with musical royalty, but today... indeed we are.
Bassist Steve McDonald started his professional music career at 11 years old. Within a few years, he and his brother Jeff started the seminal power pop band, Redd Kross and, less than 10 years later, played the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
30 years later, Steve is still killing it, standing in the ceremonial center, providing ground support for the legendary sludge metal band, The Melvins.
The new album, Bad Mood Rising, is a mix of all the things The Melvins do so well and they don't mind letting you have it, square in your ear hole. Make sure you pick up the new record as soon as you listen to our super fun chat, okay? Don't just stream it. Buy it, then see the band on tour.
This is my chat with Steve McDonald of the Melvins, and you're listening to Rockstar Superhero.
