Show #155 - Peter Holsapple (the dB's) (6/7/12)
The dB’s released four critically-acclaimed albums throughout the Eighties, jam packed with melodic hooks. But for some strange reason, the band never achieved the commercial success they deserved, breaking up near the end of the decade. Then, a funny thing happened - word began to spread about how good those albums really were, and they started fetching high bids on Ebay. To meet the demand, Collector's Choice music reissued the band's first two albums in 2002. Now, the band is back with a brand new record, their first with the original lineup in some 30 years, called Falling Off the Sky (link to amazon). Icon Fetch talks with singer/guitarist Peter Holsapple about what brought the band back together in the first place, why the recording process took so long, and how the band is joined by several young musicians from the North Carolina scene for the new record.
