Superb episode this week!

What an opportunity to chat to the creator of one of the greatest cover versions of all time and a track that gets picked and discussed regularly for track 3 of the Mixtape.

It's Roy Kellaway guitarist and songwriter from NT/QLD band King Stingray!

Roy chats about the new album, For The Dreams, the Australian, European AND USA Tour's, we chat about how Roy's Dad - Stu Kellaway from Yothu Yindi has been a mentor and helped Roy and the band with some invaluable advice, and words of wisdom.

We get an amazing insight in the band's pre-show ritual, involving Chicken Wings and Billie Jo from Green Day, and of course we chat about King Stingrays cover of the Coldplay track Yellow, why they chose it and the deeper meaning Yellow has for the band.

A real buzz to chat to Grant from Feeder, a band I first saw live in 1998, and have loved ever since. Long term listeners will be familiar with the James Brown/The Verve dilemma that I used to pose my guests, well Grant was actually playing that festival bill and he gives me his take on that impossible situation!

We talk about the new album Black/Red that completes the recent trilogy of releases, the upcoming Australian tour, how the band have developed over the course of their 30 year career, and rehearsing in a cow shed in Wales.

Grant also gives us an EXCLUSIVE (at the time of recording at least, damn you embargo!) announcement on the exciting future plans for the band.

This week I'm chatting to Perth Singer SongwriterSiobhan Cotchin about her latest single The Truth Will Always Come Out, Playing Stadiums with Matchbox 20, prioritising her happiness, loving Nickelback and meeting Priscilla Presley.

Todays Mixtape Story is about Burnout, and the ridiculous workload I put on myself in order to produce, 2 radio shows and a podcast every week, maintain a relationship with my partner, turn up every day to a full time job, and try to be a half decent Dad.

Subsequent to this recording, I've given myself a two week break from all day job/podcast/radio related stuff later in April.

Bring it on!
