Anywhere The Needle Drops
Music and art is all around us. Join Justin Flagel for conversations with the musicians, artists, and creative people making things happen here in Michiana and beyond. Tales from the growing local scene will highlight the creators, venues, and events. Performers from the regional and national scene will stop by to visit. Big or small, learn about who they are, what they’re making, and what drives them as creators and as people.

Call Me Malcolm is a ska punk band hailing from England, making this the 3rd time a guest has hopped (virtually) across the big waters to join us on Anywhere The Needle Drops. Musicians who have earned the respect of the bands they once (and still) idolized, they are bringing us their latest album, Echoes & Ghosts, on March 1st!

Lucias Malcolm and Mark Farthing of the band hang out with Justin to discuss their history in music and ska punk, the dangers of unorganized playlists, secret clubs, and awkwardly hugging Goldfinger.

Jake Simmons is finally on Anywhere the Needle Drops! Jake has been making good ol' rock and roll as a solo artist, leading Jake Simmons & The Little Ghosts, and in Katy Needs A Life. My favorite rocker from Kalamazoo is virtually in the Red Chuck Studio to chat about what’s been and what’s to come.

It’s the latest bonus episode, a remaster of my 2014 conversation with The Rutabega, one of South Bend’s finest bands. Last week, we spoke to forestlike. Joshua Wayne Hensley, one half of forestlike, is also one half of The Rutabega. This is a waaaayback journey, nearly a decade ago, in local music history. Enjoy!
