TMP288 SEAN KELLY TELLS THE CONTINENTAL DRIFTERS STORY

The musician, producer, and author of the new Continental Drifters bio, “White Noise and Lightning” started corresponding with band members Susan Cowsill, Russ Broussard, Peter Holsapple, and Vicki Peterson when he was 13 years old. Leading his own art rock band A Fragile Tomorrow with his fellow triplets, he forged a familial bond with the Drifters, including extended visits with band members, even opening shows for Vicki with the Bangles. With the recent publication of the book and tribute CD, “We Are All Drifters,” Sean joins the Troubled Men to fill in a few more pieces of the Continental Drifters puzzle.

Topics include a new Mayor Cantrell-adjacent indictment, Fouad Zeton, an airline fracas, a seeping wound, airplane attire, a store lock-in, the Jane’s Addiction tour meltdown, Perry Farrell, podcast corrections, a Bosco presentation, Jack-in-the-Box, fast food, a book tour, the Subdudes, Raji’s, Carlo Nuccio, R.E.M., “Vermilion,” psychedelics, a record deal, Malcolm Burn, studio work, moving to Savannah, album reviews, Omnivore Records, Ronnie Barnett, the Muffs, and much more.
