13th Floor MusicTalk

Austin psych-meisters The Black Angels are heading down under!
The 13th Floor’s Marty Duda spoke to head Angel Alex Mass about celebrating 20 years of their debut album, Passover, and how they have become both afraid and powerful at the same time.

Matt Berninger, the voice of The National, is coming down under, playing solo shows at the Sydney Opera House and Auckland's Holy Trinity Cathedral.
The 13th Floor's Marty Duda spoke to Matt, who was home in Connecticut, about what National fans can expect, why earplugs will not be necessary and what new songs we might be privy to.

ELskan FLY is Shelley Wyatt, a Canadian-born singer-songwriter now based in Kirwee, on New Zealand's South Island.
The 13th Floor's Marty Duda spoke to Shelley about making her new album, Lion Den and what brought her from the "prairie seas" of Manitoba to the Canterbury plains.

Teddy Thompson has just released Never Be The Same, his first collection of new, original songs in six years.
The 13th Floor's Marty Duda found Teddy at home in Brooklyn just as the new album was about to "drop". Watch and listen as Teddy talks about Crowded House, David Mansfield and...cake.

The 13th Floor's Marty Duda spoke to Suzanne about returning to Auckland, where she and her now-ex husband Mitchell Froom spent some quality time with Neil Finn years ago. Mitchell is now a member of Crowded House and Suzanne is preparing to make her way back to New Zealand.
Marty touches on a number of topics with Suzanne including the time she was interviewed by Lou Reed on MTV (they talked about The Rainbow Warrior), almost sharing jury duty with Patti Smith, writing a song about Lucinda Williams along with her favourite version of Tom's Diner...we don't think you'll guess.
