Re:place Radio Presents Episode 3 - Nadya Shanab
Fresh on the heels on my session with Dire Wolfe I had the true pleasure of being joined in the Re:place Radio Pod this week by Nadya Shanab. Luckily the smell of boy left over from my previous interview had almost subsided and I really enjoyed the mixture of English and Arabic tunes Nadya played for me this evening.
Having nearly completed her three year music degree at LIPA Nadya has plans to stay in the UK and not return immediately to her native Egypt. How has she got on gigging in a foreign language in Liverpool? What does she plan next and what made me bang my head off the microphone in surprise? All questions answered in episode 3 of a podcast series I am really enjoying putting together.
More of Nadya's music can be found on her Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/nshanab
Nadya was kind enough to pose with the now infamous "green boob" in the Re:place Radio Pod.

Re:place Radio Presents Episode 2 - Dire Wolfe
I had the pleasure this evening of spending half an hour in the Re:place Radio Pod with the members of Dire Wolfe.
A true LIPA band the guys: Dan Croll, Joe Wills, Tarek Musa and John Stark came together after a pint in LIPA Bar led the producer/engineer side of the band into the studio with frontman Dan Croll to add a band to a collection of his songs.
In this short session I play the two songs avaliable on the guy's Myspace http://www.myspace.com/direwolfeband plus a couple of extra tracks. Its when these guys all start chipping into the acoustic sessions that the songs and the musicians really start to shine. Having played their first gig last night in the Magnet these guys seem to be pretty across Easter and beyond.
Determined to conquer Liverpool the band have been burning CDs on their laptops to promote their music. Look out of an EP in the near future with the tracks featured tonight and a smattering more.
With murmurings about a record deal already floating around LIPA I can almost promise that you will be hearing more from these guys in future. If not because they have signed on a deal then because they are out their themselves promoting their music.

And a few studio shots of the guys. For more pictures and information about the guys check out their Myspace.
