Ian S. Port joins us to discuss his fascinating book "The Birth of Loud" in depth. It is a brilliant read that follows the arms race to electrify the solid body electric guitar - a race spearheaded by Les Paul and Leo Fender.
“A hot-rod joy ride through mid-20th-century American history. With appropriately flashy prose, [Port] dismantles some misconceptions and credits some nearly forgotten but key figures. He also summons, exuberantly and perceptively, the look, sound, and sometimes smell of pivotal scenes and songs. The Birth of Loud rightfully celebrates an earlier time, when wood, steel, copper wire, microphones and loudspeakers could redefine reality. Tracing material choices that echoed through generations, the book captures the quirks of human inventiveness and the power of sound.”
John Pareles, New York Times Book Review.

Happy Birthday to Mr Michael Schenker! We celebrate by replaying our conversation with the German shred master. Happy Birthday MS and KEEP ON ROCKIN'!
Michael Schenker is one of the most influential rock guitarists on the planet with players such as John Petrucci, Kirk Hammett and Randy Rhoades citing the German born guitarist as an inspiration.
Schenker rose to fame through his fiery playing in The Scorpions and UFO in the '70s and '80s. And whilst a host of offers from artists such as Aerosmith and Ozzy Ozbourne were extended, Schenker has always been happiest following his own muse.
Schenker joins us to reflect on 50 years of high octane rock and a new album, Immortal, that celebrates this milestone.
We also discuss his approach to guitar tracking, working with Jim Marshall on an unfinished project which Schenker believes led to the JCM800 series, the history of the legendary 'cocked-wah' tone and more.

Matt, Rob & Gabor check out Van Halen's fourth album, 'Fair Warning' in the latest installment of the Iconic Albums series.
This album realised more of Eddie Van Halen's vision of the band in 1981. The resulting tracks showed a darker, edgier side of the band and, although the album was a relatively slow burner, became many a guitar player's favourite VH record.

There are few more loved figures in Australian music than Troy Cassar-Daley.
Troy's songwriting, performances and musicianship have seen him win a slew of awards: arias, deadlies and about three dozen golden guitars.
Behind all this is a great guitar player and absolute tone hound. Troy fired up his live rig and home studio to play us through his prized acoustics, vintage Tele, pedal board, amps and a spectacularly sweet franken-strat.

Brian Canham is a founding member, frontman and guitarist for the chart topping Australian band Pseudo Echo.
Whilst Brian is a bona fide pop star with a bunch of ARIAs to prove it, he is also a killer guitarist equally adept at crafting clever parts as he is ripping solos.
Brian talks us through his career and gives us insight into his guitars, gear, production and songwriting style over the years.
Pseudo Echo has just released a new album - a great story in itself - 1990 The Lost Album Demos.
Brian was an excellent guest - passionate, humble and a great storyteller!

Ian S. Port joins us to discuss his fascinating book "The Birth of Loud" in depth. It is a brilliant read following the arms race to electrify the solid body electric guitar - a race spearheaded by Les Paul and Leo Fender.
“A hot-rod joy ride through mid-20th-century American history. With appropriately flashy prose, [Port] dismantles some misconceptions and credits some nearly forgotten but key figures. He also summons, exuberantly and perceptively, the look, sound, and sometimes smell of pivotal scenes and songs. The Birth of Loud rightfully celebrates an earlier time, when wood, steel, copper wire, microphones and loudspeakers could redefine reality. Tracing material choices that echoed through generations, the book captures the quirks of human inventiveness and the power of sound.”
John Pareles, New York Times Book Review.

Today we are joined by Australian guitarist Nathan Cavaleri, a musician who is as resilient as he is soulful.
Nathan Cavaleri started playing guitar at age three, picking along with his father's blues records. Facing luekemia at six, Cavaleri found solace in his guitar and thanks to the Starlight Foundation met and jammed with Mark Knopfler on national television. Even at such a tender age, and quite unwell, Cavaleri's affinity with the blues and burgeoning talent was undeniable.
Thankfully, Cavaleri was given a clear bill of health at age thirteen. By this time he was a road veteran, having shared the stage with artists such as BB King, Robben Ford, Albert Collins, Steve Morse, Steve Cropper, Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and Tommy Emmanuel to name a few.
Following a break from the spotlight in his late teens, Cavaleri returned with force fronting the blues/rock band Nat Cole and the Kings.
In 2014 Cavaleri found himself unexpectedly struck down with adrenal fatigue and anxiety. In 2017 Cavaleri started a website & blog that detailed his return to the stage and studio.
Cavaleri speaks candidly about his journey and reflects back on 2018 as a "year of action", in which two compelling singles from the forthcoming Demons EP were released, in addition to a string of successful live shows.
This episode is a replay from our conversation with Nathan from 2019.

Michael Schenker is one of the most influential rock guitarists on the planet with players such as John Petrucci, Kirk Hammett and Randy Rhoades citing the German born guitarist as an inspiration.
Schenker rose to fame through his fiery playing in The Scorpions and UFO in the '70s and '80s. And whilst a host of offers from artists such as Aerosmith and Ozzy Ozbourne were extended, Schenker has always been happiest following his own muse.
Schenker joins us to reflect on 50 years of high octane rock and a new album, Immortal, that celebrates this milestone.
We also discuss his approach to guitar tracking, working with Jim Marshall on an unfinished project which Schenker believes led to the JCM800 series, the history of the legendary 'cocked-wah' tone and more.
