On today’s Podcast, Thom talks to Darren Linder. Darren plays drums in a band called “The Shrike” and played with Henry’s Child at places like the Westside Station with his band “Multiple Sarcasm” back in the 90’s.

They talk about touring different parts of the year, venues in Portland and what life was like growing up in Eugene. They came to the conclusion that the scene is less competitive now than it was in the 90’s, with music at an older age being more of brotherhood.

They play the song “Chase The Sun” from The Shrike’s latest EP. Darren gives many a tip about booking shows, something he is really passionate about. We talk about Darren’s blog and the stories he has from working music shows 6 nights a week.

We wrap it up with details about a show with The Shrike and Henry’s Child on Friday, September 21st at The Bombs Away Cafe in Corvallis.
