It's time for the twelfth Blogging New Orleans podcast. Each week I record a podcast about all things New Orleans on Tuesday evening and upload it for all of you to listen to on Wednesday afternoon. Comments, questions, concerns? Comment on this post or contact us via the tips link on the site. This week features an extended interview with three members of the local band Lovehog. Lead guitarist and singer Asher Griffith (the great and powerful reverend sunny t brickhouse), bass guitarist and saxophone player Revel Griffith (the seven deadly sins), and drummer Tony Frickey (just tony) joined me to talk about their just recorded unpublished homemade album Wall to Wall, Skin to Skin, Sweat Friction. We listen to four of their original songs and discuss their history and more. Unfortunately guitarist Alex Siler (the devil was t-rex) was unable to join us. Pictured from right to left: Revel Griffth, Asher Griffith, Tony Frickey.

This podcast is almost a 'betacast' and should be treated as such. We don't have theme music yet, but in the future we hope to have that and interviews with movers and shakers from around our fair city.
