Episode 81: Aaron Stephens - Hard Times, Straight Lines RADIO Thanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. I’ve been holding on to this album for a while and finally decided it was time to put this out. With all of the plans I had made for episodes prior to this, I hadn’t gotten to this RADIO episode. So, without further ado, this is Aaron Stephens, a transplant from Illinois and most recently, from McAllen and now New Braunfels, our northern neighbor. Aaron’s really got a soulful record here, so if you’re into listening to music in the dark, with your eyes closed, do it. If you’re in your car, you have an excuse to listen to the episode twice. Just let the music take you through your own memories and feel the words. Just a suggestion in this world of hustle and bustle and no time to experience music on the same levels we did when we were kids. Aaron Stephens is a soul singer/songwriter and musician born in Illinois, raised deep down in McAllen, Texas. Writing songs, singing, and playing guitar since the age of 12, Stephens has an original songwriting and performing style that can both soothe and stir. Since 2012, Stephens has been playing shows all across Texas. With his soulful voice, songwriting, and tasteful slide guitar playing, Aaron Stephens and his tight, groove-based band are standing out and gaining some momentum. On June 18, 2014, Aaron Stephens released his first full-length album entitled "Hard Times Straight Lines". The 9-song album is a perfect example of Aaron Stephens' music: honest, relatable and soulful. The album is available on all major online platforms. Visit www.aaronstephensmusic.com for more info!

Episode 80: #LMW2016 Musician's Roundtable Thanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. This is how we wanted to kick off Local Music Week; at 502 Bar, doing our first live podcast! Our speakers for the event were Daniel Magallanez (Blackbird Sing), Patric Farrell (Built For The Future), and Edward Welsh (Rumors) and our sound guy for the show was Joey Devine from 502 Bar. The point of the show was to start a discussion, shed some light on local music, and get some attention for local music. We discussed each individuals trials, tribulations, and celebrations they’ve had as local musicians, what some of their experiences have been, and what they think about the situation. We talk about cover prices, the cost of being a musician, venue location, venue sound, the concert goers, and the talent of the band. We also took some time to acknowledge the organizations in San Antonio that are available to local musicians; The Local 782, M.U.S.I.C. Project, San Antonio Local Music Guild, San Antonio Sound Garden, and others who help like Do210, The Owlcast, Vinyl Pizza, Texas Music Spotlight, and 210 Local Media. This is just the first of a series of discussions we plan on having as we work towards our mission of helping the local music scene thrive. We hope you join us on this voyage and invite you to also check out the resulting videos on our YouTube channel, at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC37uudJJ3iTcEnXISjXKSbA I could go on for a very long time about this topic, so if you liked it, please let us know on our Facebook page /210LocalMedia or on Twitter @210LocalMedia.

Episode 79: The Akuzma Thanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. In this episode, I sat down with the band I manage, The Akuzma, to talk about who they are, how they got to where they are, and all things Akuzma. The interview is from a while back, when we were planning to release their upcoming EP under the 210 banner. Unfortunately, we’ve had difficulties raising the necessary funds to put it out ourselves. Also, the band has undergone and is continuing to undergo changes to style and lineup. This in an introduction to what got the Akuzma to where they are today and a springboard to the foundation of the band. Once The Akuzma 3.0 emerges, we will definitely catch up with them.

Episode 77: Fair Coyote - PathsThanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. This episode is for my buddy Mauricio Vasquez, AKA Fair Coyote. We mentioned in Episode 48, during the Local Music Week episodes, that he was working on his new EP Paths. Well, this is that EP. Recently, Mauricio played with Femina-X, Crown, and Levees for Levees’ EP release in January, and really showcased his love for having a varied soundscape and skills as a mutli-instrumentalist.

First of all, fair warning; there’s no music in this episode, there’s three guys who sound like morons, and hopefully you enjoy it.The guys take a brief walk on the floor of the 2016 Terror Expo and get a surprise guest drop in from a famous and former Walking Dead cast member Jose Cantillo - Walking Dead, Chappie, Elysium, Sons of Anarchy, Crank, Crank: High Voltage, Disturbia, and The Manchurian Candidate.I could go on for a very long time about this topic, so if you liked it, please let us know on our Facebook page /210LocalMedia or on Twitter @210LocalMedia.

Episode 75: Heather Go Psycho Radio - Favorite RecordThanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. I’ve been meaning to have Heather Go Psycho’s album Favorite Record on the show for a very long time. I’ve seen the girls a couple of times, but due to the circumstances of the night, was unable to introduce myself to them or anything. Luckily, thanks to Twitter, I was able to chat with Heather Go Psycho’s bassist, Diana. Here’s an update for those who haven’t heard yet, Diana is no longer the bands drummer. They’ve recently added an actual Heather to the line up! Kind of like when Donella Drive had Ella. I saw Heather Go Psycho, most recently at one of the Creative Creatures shows at Fitzgerald’s. They played right after The Black Market Club and before The Lost Project and The Sandworms. They put on a great show and brought a totally different vibe to that stage. I’m glad to finally add them as alumni to the 210 Local Media Podcast. First, we’ll dive into some music, and then I wanted to chat for a little bit.Heather Go Psycho - Favorite RecordFavorite RecordNothing MoreJust For TonightBack 2 YouNice Girls Finish LastThis ChristmasI just wanted to reach out to music fans, concert goers, and ask some questions of you all and share some insight that you may not hear everywhere. First, some information on the music industry I’ve learned. I admit though, that I am by no means a expert and am learning new things every day, so, be aware of that caveat. There are bands, solo artists, fans, talent buyers, venues, promoters, managers, labels, and there’s merch, distribution, contracts, emails, social media, draw, booking, and a whole slew of other things that have an impact in the music industry. There’s an interesting cycle that regular concertgoers don’t ever see, that includes all of the above. Once you’re walking up to the door of a venue, many things have happened to get what you’re about to see, to where it is at that very second. A band who has practiced countless hours, has either been approached by another band, a venue, a talent buyer (someone who works for the venue to books shows), or a promoter (someone who puts shows together with a secured date at the venue), or has reached out themselves, to play that night. Depending on the show, bands can get paid in many different ways. There’s the door split, in which each band is coming away with their equal cut of the money paid at the door. There’s the percentage of the bar, which usually denotes a free show, where the bands try and get as many people as possible in to the venue to drink, in the hopes that the percentage of the bar that they get paid from is decent. It’s also split with the other band(s) on the bill, and is usually around 10%-15% of the bar. That means, every dollar you spend, gets them $.10 to $.15. There’s the sought after guarantee, where a band can make (at least) their guaranteed amount. Sometimes this is a method of payment that works as an either/or with a guarantee. For example, the guarantee is either $100 or 15% of the bar, whichever is higher. Finally, there’s the pay-to-play or ticket selling method. There are so many variations of these methods, that I won’t go over them here, but feel free to look it up online. For a band to get onto a bill, they either need to know another band that will add them to their own show, make some contacts, have their booking agent (who gets a share of the bands cut from the gig), know a promoter (who’s take is also a portion of the night), or they sell tickets to get on the bill with national acts. There may or may not have been contracts, personnel changes, schedule changes at work to be sure all band members could make the show, band cancellations, or possibly even entire show cancellations…. All before you step foot into the venue. Also, I can’t forget the merch that the bands made to sell at the show, or the money that went into printing handbills or designing digital flyers. Does...

Episode 74: National Spotlight - Smoke SeasonThanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. We’ve done it. This is a first for the 210 Local Media Podcast, we’re featuring a band that’s not from San Antonio. They’re not even from Texas. This episode, we bring you Smoke Season. The reason we’re doing a whole episode for them, is because they will be at our own Jack’s Patio on Thursday… TOMORROW! They’ll be joining the stage with The Peach Kings and our own local band, Spell 27 at 7pm. Smoke Season’s PR rep Amanda reached out to us to see about getting some more attention for the show. After seeing Smoke Season’s music video for Ouroboros, I had to share them. Please check out the bands’ bio in our show notes and on our website, it’s simply too long to read here, but I guarantee it’s worth it. Smoke Season has joined my list of national bands to see, and thanks to Amanda, I’ll be there tomorrow night!Smoke Season is Gabrielle Wortman and Jason Rosen, an electronic-ethereal duo, that I can only describe as a soulful powerhouse of thumping beats and enthralling harmonies. They reflect a myriad of genres while sounding like the perfect baby of Moby and Tori Amos, but drenched in timeless musicality.We were given the option to play a couple of songs, or all of them, so we went all-in. However, if you want to experience “Ouroboros”, you should find and “Like” them on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/smokeseason. You can find them everywhere; iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and on their homepage, www.smokeseason.com. Without further ado, here’s Smoke Season.LooseBeesBadlandsSimmer DownOpaqueFools GoldOfficial Bio"Eerie roots rambles with more ethereal, electronic-pop interludes." - LA Weekly"The Black Keys heard through a cloud of marijuana smoke." - Los Angeles Magazine"Ethereal western soul" - Free Bike Valet"A cinematic approach to Americana" - Buzzbands LA"Simultaneously delicate and ethereal but warm and woodsy" - Salt Lake City WeeklyApril 2014 Artist of the Month - Deli Magazine Los AngelesSmoke Season was formed in early 2013 by Gabrielle Wortman and Jason Rosen. Combining their musical backgrounds, the duo created their own unique take on Americana, infusing folk with electronic undertones and rich vocal harmonies that has been steadily capturing the attention of fans and press since. Smoke Season catapulted into must-know status during their impressive August residency at Los Angeles' acclaimed venue, the Echoplex. Their performances were hailed in the press by LA Weekly ("Music Pick of the Week"), Los Angeles Magazine, LA Record, Buzzbands LA, Radio Free Silver Lake, Free Bike Valet, Grimy Goods and more.Their sophomore EP, Hot Coals Cold Souls, released July 29, 2014, has been gaining impressive traction in the press for its powerful mash-up of styles and refinement of their already unique sonic imprint. Described as "pop, rock, electronic, Americana, and folk elements collide in an inspired way" (The Daily Album), the EP "pulls mood-building tricks from country, R&B, dancy indie, chillwave (the intro to “Opaque”) and more" (Independent Clauses).Smoke Season began in 2013 with a self-produced their debut EP, Signals, and self-directed music video for their first single, Soleil. After being released in March 2013, the Signals EP went on to independently sell thousands of copies and garner critical acclaim. Since then, Smoke Season has been steadily touring, showcasing their music around the country and most notably at Sundance Film Festival 2014, Noise Pop 2015, CMJ 2014, on AXS TV, Bite Size TV, Balcony TV, Afterbuzz TV, and more.Also, a special shoutout to Malissa Prevost for being our lone Patreon supporter.

More appropriately, they’re my top 100 pics and they’re grouped in 4 sets of 25, and in each episode, they’ll be presented in alphabetical order. The qualifications are that they are/were local, played a song I like, and have either sent me music or have made their music available to me. Some bands will be played more than once as we get higher on the “chart”, some bands are totally absent because of the lack of a music release, or because the license to play their music is too expensive. By and large though, we’ve got the bulk of it here. Thanks to all of the musicians that have made this podcast possible, thanks to those who have made getting a hold of music, releases, or promo stuff easy, and thanks to YOU, the listener, for continuing to listen and make me feel that this is a worthwhile venture.

Our friends in Covina, Julian, Nate, and Joey, came by to discuss how they came to be, what got them here, and what the difference is between Metalcore, Hardcore. After the interview, stay tuned for the bands' first 3 songs on their self-titled EP, Covina. One thing I love about this podcast, is that when I interview people, it’s a great equalizer. Everyone is always super nice, down to earth, and generally hilarious to talk to. These guys are no exception. We’re sorry we missed Eric and Ray this time around, but hope to catch up with them soon!

Episode 68: F.I.N. RADIO - Forever Is NeverThanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media Podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. For those who have been listening to the show for a while, you know I manage the band Slowlikefire. Two fifths of Slowlikefire used to be in Forever Is Never a.k.a. FIN, Jaime Monzon and David Monzon. I never got to hear them while they were an active band unfortunately, but this episode features their self titled album, Forever Is Never. If you’re local to the San Antonio, think back to Sin 13 and the heyday of The White Rabbit (now the Paper Tiger). For those who are familiar, this will bring back memories of those times and the rawness that can still be heard throughout San Antonio’s musical history. For those who are not familiar, we hope you like this look into the recent past and a part of what eventually became Slowlikefire. Today, we focus on FIN.

Episode 67: The Cinderleaf RADIO - AvalancheThanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media Podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. Not many local bands can say that they’ve been around for twenty years, nor can most local bands say that they almost had record deals. The Cinderleaf can say both with pride. To be honest, since this podcast is all about music, art, film, food, and entertainment discovery, I don’t mind admitting that until recently, I hadn’t actually heard any of The Cinderleaf’s music. I had seen their name everywhere, sporadically throughout the past twenty years, but due to the way their name painted pictures in my mind, I was expecting more AFI meets Slipknot and less like The Cinderleaf. I recently got to see them perform “Is Electric No” in full at Rebar and was treated to some really great and self proclaimed Emo-Core. Afterwards, I got to meet the guys, who also treated fans to their “other” bands, The Cemetery Hips, and Cobra Cobra Come On Over. This week, we take a listen to The Cinderleaf’s 2005 release, Avalanche. Keep an eye on their Facebook page /TheCinderleaf and our website, 210LocalMedia.com for their upcoming show, featuring the album in full.

Episode 66: Built For The Future - InterviewThanks for tuning in to 210 Local Media Podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. First of all, go back and check out Episode 62: Built For The Future RADIO. I’m excited to bring a new genre into the podcast this week; ProgRock! If you’re not savvy, or a millennial, Prog can be exemplified in bands like Yes, Tears For Fears, Genesis, and Muse. Yeah, Muse. Some people characterize it as non-mainstream, super long songs, and experimental in design. By that definition, you can also add bands like Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, and Tool, which many do. Basically, take everything you knew about Prog, or in most cases, didn’t know, and just throw it out the window. As far as myself, and many other do, call it Alternative Rock, even if just for the sake of giving it a listen. It’s largely popular overseas and popularized by the British, but essentially, it’s just music by people who are not Pop.In this episode, we bring you Built For The Future’s Patric Farrell who discusses his musical history, the journey of making this album, and finally making music with this partner in crime, Kenny Bisset. I also get to ask Patric about BFTF, having done something that local musicians have always wanted to do, in getting their music out to the world. In an extremely brief period of time, they’ve sold out of their initial release and have shipped the album all over the world. You can find them in a Facebook group page, called Built For The Future. With only 298 members, this tight knit group has devoured everything the San Antonio ‘Progsters’ have uploaded. We also discussed the fact that it took a couple of decades for them to accomplish what they couldn’t in their youth and have succeeded in doing what many would consider to be a backwards method. Huge thanks to Patric for letting me interview him and for signing my copy of Built For The Future. Again, go back to Episode 62 and take another listen.I know the guys will be sharing this on their group page, so; Hello to our overseas friends and new listeners to the podcast. I hope it’s to your liking, and I hope you check out some of the other amazing music San Antonio has to offer.

Episode 65: Demitasse & Buttercup RADIOThanks for tuning in to 210 Local media Podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. In this episode, I wanted to bring you some music from Demitasse and Buttercup. For those in “the know,” both are connected via Erik Sanden and Joe Reyes, and have been a staple of the scene for over 10 years. The bios for both bands are way too long for me to read here, so be sure to check out the show notes and their pages on FaceBook. Coming up first, we received a request from our friend Laura Marie, also a musician and friend of the podcast, to play Demitasse’s Comfy Coffins.So, diving right in, we’ll start with Comfy Coffins, Couples Therapy, Dear Diary, and Leave the House from Demitasse. After that, I’ll come back on to introduce Buttercup’s album, Captains Of Industry.That was Erik Sanden and Joe Reyes’ band, Demitasse. Now, we’ve got their other band, along with bass player, Odie. For Buttercup, I wanted to focus in on their album Captains of Industry. The track list from the album is as follows;Softest StrikeInstant Coffee Part 2Suffer (No More Pain)Flowers and ElephantsSun In The SkyIdentity TheftThanks for listening, and please take this opportunity to find our FaceBook page at Facebook.com/210LocalMedia and give us a like! Thanks for listening.Demitasse Bio: Demitasse is a two piece acoustic group. This is the side project for Erik Sanden and Joe Reyes of the Texas art rock band Buttercup. Singing at the very limits of their range, the band gets sherpa high, mixing melody, spoken word, and noise. The sound is somewhere between Simon and Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, and the Beach Boys on a dark day. Or Elliott Smith on an extremely bright, sunny day. Or John Cage throwing his car keys at Yoko Ono.The band records under a strict series of self-imposed rules: their "Vow of Chastity." These guidelines forbid the use of metronomes, click tracks, auto tuning, and unwarranted studio trickery. Being a two piece, they always record together as a duo: so any overdubs are done two at a time, simultaneously -- drums and piano, for instance. They always begin each session singing the lead vocals and harmony together, while playing guitar, and then proceed to build the rest of the song.The live show is almost like beat era music: like two wide eyed, smiley poets, freaking out, but refusing to smash their guitars. Their set up is hyper minimal: two guitars, a drum, and an tiny plastic box. They've been able to travel to a gig on a tandem bicycle, or a scooter with a side car. They plan on touring the country one day in a Smart Car.Hoping to cure sadness with sadness, Demitasse offers catharsis with their upbeat/downbeat melancholy songs: where audience members leave changed, and smiling.Buttercup Bio - Buttercup, a life-affirming art-rock band from Texas, has written hundreds of original songs that NPR calls “jangly art rock for the left side of the brain.” Since 2004, the band has released 7 full length recordings and a DVD documentary. They have toured the US, and have shared the stage with Jonathan Richman, Elliott Smith, Rhett Miller (the Old 97s), Ian Moore, Jad Fair, The Apples in Stereo, Salim Nourallah, and Willie Nelson.Buttercup is a trio of distinct personalities: singer Erik Sanden, guitarist Joe Reyes and bassist odie. The three joined forces in 2003 and have remained the best of friends. In this way, Buttercup is a real band, like U2 or the Osmonds, with long term membership (original members) and a large body of work. Erik Sanden functions largely as a frontman: he is terribly handsome, nigh-literate and his humor tends towards the absurd. Joe Reyes is famous for his unwavering smile, generous nature and, oh yeah, for his Grammy. Odie, a Texas treasure, brings unconventional voicings, deep sartorial sense, and rock-and-roll-animal power both to the bass and to his cooking (he has been known to craft high quality sandwiches on stage).Buttercup’s live show blends visual art, performance art and...

Episode 64: Levees Special Release 2Thanks for tuning in to 210 Local media Podcast, I am your host, Mario Zamarron. This is only the second special episode we’ve done and interestingly enough, it’s for the same band as the last one. To hear Levees first official release, go check out episode 53. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Good, so you’ve heard “Your Spell”. Now, you get to hear their second release, “In White”. Last episode, we really didn’t know much about these guys. Now, they have a bio:Transported from the swamps of New Orleans to the deserts of San Antonio, Levees is a band grown from the creative landscape of brothers Kyle and Kody Anderson. These brothers have been sonically journeying together ever since they picked up their first guitars, and now their music draws inspiration from the two worlds they have lived in, combining the dark, ghostly blues of Louisiana with the southwestern spirit of Texas, making music that calls to mind a cross between the White Stripes and The Doors. Kyle and Kody’s guitar work is enlivened by the driving drums of San Antonio native Skyler Ellis, a veteran of the local music scene, and the sturdy bass work of Matt Stieb, who is also a music journalist in San Antonio. Although Levees is first and foremost a rock and roll band, the group draws its inspiration from an array of musicians spanning decades of time, hoping to combine their various influences into a unique sound that is both accessible and boundary-breaking.Levees has been alive for less than a year, but they have already played numerous local shows, are beginning to tour Texas, have debuted their first single “Your Spell”, and are planning to release their first EP early this fall. During D0210’s Local Music Week, the group was selected as a favorite local band by San Antonio’s Tastemakers. Like the name implies, Levees is engineered of the earth, channeling the larger forces that run through the world. What they have captured is their own. It is dark, it is dreamy, and it is rising. They hope their music takes hold of your heart, inspires it into ecstasy, and makes your life a little better. They make their music for you.If you want to catch Levees in action, they will be playing playing a show on September 25th, this Friday, at the Do210 App Launch Party at 8pm at The Limelight here in San Antonio. If you’re on St. Mary’s strip that night and want to bounce back and forth between a couple of events, you can catch Slowlikefire the same night, at The Amp Room at 10pm, with our friends White Elefant and an Austin band, The Human Circuit. In the meantime, here’s Levees, with their new release, “In White”.You can contact us on Google Voicemail @ 210-802-1197, @ www.210LocalMedia.com/contactus, on Twitter: @210LocalMedia, on Facebook: /210LocalMedia & check out our main site @ www.210LM.comAs a member of the 210 Podcast Network, we are partially brought to you by Audible.com.
