Great interview, from both sides! You're really good at making it interesting and personal. Can't wait to hear the new material and see Vokonis live again!
I think I’m just a little older than Dave. Grew up on the old Black Sabbath albums.The musicians of Monster Magnet are a gift. Sometimes I think Bill Ward is there with you all.If you all get a chance make a bluegrass song that transitions into a hard as hell hitting rock.Can it be done? I don’t know.
My ex-wife wrote in the 90s Glitterhouse Records reviews. That way I discovered the first record of Monster Magnet. It blew me away. It was great to see Dave Wyndorf staying on course over all the years. He is an extraordinary artist and I admire that he is living his natural self-expression.
I still love ya dude! You, your music, the band! Also... im proud of my daughter ... the next generation taken it all seriously! She's a dj on Stockton Univ radio wlfr 91.7... she got hired at a vintage music archive, and she's helping to keep the cool scene going! She says her generation are way more boring though... she's envious of our super cool generation !! She and I had tickets for the show in phila with nebula , but it got cancelled...she grew up with hearing all this cool music, 😎lol ☮💖❗
So nice all of these guys. All the interviews I’m watching to give me more about them before I see The king buffalo live at the Aggie November 12th. Seriously i as a fan am so lucky and grateful and i recognize that is a honor to see such hard working talented rockers . So excited for my first king buffalo show🎉 I am not however calling you king business 😂
I’ve wondered before what Dave’s kitchen must look like and down to the blinking clock it looks like what I pictured was right😂. I’m not sure why I ever thought of that
These guys are awesome. I got into Josiah earlier this year from the Heavy Psych Sounds reissues and their music is so good. It's heavy but not too heavy and has great riffs and interesting, catchy vocals, and overall groove in each of their releases. I also love how eclectic Mat's music style is and how they felt like they didn't fit in to any of the underground rock scenes 20 years ago, which is probably why they're more relevant today. Big thanks to the HPS label for introducing Josiah's music to us new fans and a big thanks to Mat and the band for still going strong with We Lay On Cold Stone. Wish these guys were more popular, they deserve way more credit.
Thanks for the interview. Like the Birth album and i am a big Astra fan. Saw them at Roadburn and a festival in Nijmegen. Loved the Zardoz projection. Sooo cool! Hoping for a vinyl reissue of The Weirding.
Very cool to see & hear Mat - would have loved to hear even more, about the early days, the many sideprojects, ... The Beginning and the early Frog Island-stuff is among the classics of our genre for me. After this, and especially about the case of Josiah I ask myself one thing though: WHY does this have so few views (is no one watching interviews), ... why are they so underrated these days? I mean, they got raving reviews back in the day from Planet Fuzz in Australia, Monolith etc For me they seemed like gigantic back then LOL -- Their debut album and the first Frog Island LP was quasi buried (probably loved) in record collections all around the globe - No chance to ever find this on discogs, or wherever. I had a VERY hard time finding copies some ten years back. So, really my question is: NOW that we have this bigger, more diverse scene -- why is Josiah so underrated? As legitimate "forefathers" to a popular branch within the stoner scene, with that "Proto-Metal"-thing ... To me it seems that after all these years there's still the same "key figures" somehow, or maybe that's just my impression being part of that generation. But, Mat seems happy nonetheless -- that's what truly matters.
Great interview, as always, but you might need an extra large barf bag when Dave opines about politics. It always amazes me how people who seem so outside the mainstream in their art can be so utterly mainstream in their political views. I mean, h3 sounded like some corporate media hack on MSNBC toward the end of this interview. Please stick to music, Dave.
