Storied Sounds with Dave Schneider

In about 1990 Dave bought a cassette compilation from Shrimper Records outta Upland, CA and one song called "At The Mall" thrilled him. He dove in and bought everything that band did. The Mommyheads were that band. 5 years later his band The Zambonis got signed to Dot Dot Dash records in NYC. Record producer and Zamboni and Philistines jr leader Peter Katis was part of the higher ups with the label. Dave said, you have to sign The Mommyheads! We all went to see them play at the old tiny

THE BIG SHOW! Dave chats and plays songs with the men behind two of his fave wonderfully bizarre shows ever, MTV’s Oddville and NYC Cable Access Beyond Vaudeville. Ladies and gents, Rich Brown and Steven Korn. It’s hard to explain what these fellers and their crew do and did, discovered Underdog Woman/Suzanne Muldowney, Joe Franklins hip step kids, guest from Tiny Tim, Guided By Voices, Rev Al Lewis, Ween, melodic hand farters, Fred Willard etc etc. it’s going to be a real humdinger. Radio

A last minute schedule brain fart (no guest) by Dave ends up being a real personal joy ride shared with listeners. From Groucho Marx starting things off to The Misfits. Unplanned first were hopefully achieved. NRBQ's 1972 "Things To You" into Genesis Abacab LP 1983 "Keep It Dark" is what Dave was looking to do. Also the first ever DOUBLE ROCK BLOCK of Australia's Daddy Cool occurred. How bout that rare JOhn Leckie produced jangly shinier version of The La's classic "There She Goes Again'

Yes that MICKY DOLENZ! Oh, and yes that Rich Dart too! The Monkees legend and so much more drops in on the show to unveil new and amazing facts about John Lennon kicking softballs (seriously) and who taught him drums. Speaking of drums, also a guest on the show is not only Micky's drummer for 16 years but Dave and The Zambonis drummer too, THE ONE AND ONLY RICH DART! Oh yeah, almost every song played on this show references a monkey.

Episode 2: Dave plays some tunes and then brings in one of the great bands who just come from a different planet. They don't sound like any other groups and that feet is not easy. The Philistines jr are Peter and Tarquin Katis. They were so good in 1990 that it took me two years to convince them to start a a band that only writes songs about hockey. I knew how to pick my friends/bandmates. Their music/approach to making music and producing that music yourself was priceless. Peter went on to

Episode 1 of a possible long or short career of unpaid but heartfelt/passionate radio with me Dave Schneider and my new show titled "Storied Sounds". The plan for this show is to play any music I like and would like to stick in your ears and then bring on a guest to talk to and, play more music. My first guest was not only a last minute one at that, he partied throughout the night before at a Scissor Sisters show in Phillie. He drove four hours back to CT, got in at 7:30am and was on the
