Chicagoverse 269 - Nadia Garofalo x Alicia Gaines (Ganser)

Dynasty Podcasts: Chicagoverse

Nadia Garofalo and Alicia Gaines of Chicago-based post punk group Ganser return to Dynasty Podcasts in support of their new record, Just Look At That Sky. The songwriters speak about creating a record that was written prior to 2020, but matches the anxious and chaotic mood of this year. The duo also discuss the making of the band's "Emergency Equipment and Exits" video and reveal whether they considered postponing the record due to COVID-19. Additionally, Gaines speaks on her experiences as a Black biracial woman in a DIY band, and how those experiences lead to her online editorial titled Confederate flags, suspicious cops and the dangers of touring America when Black.
