Show #044: Pres Maxson
By: Darrin Snider (darrin at indyintune dot com)Tuesday, June 30, 2009 8:00:00 PM
Every once in a while you've just got to change it up. One of the
hardest things about doing this show, particularly when you're doing
three and four shows a week as I was doing when this interview was
recorded, is that you run the risk of losing your own energy, which
then transfers down to the guests and subsequently the interview.
Fortunately, Pres Maxson seems to have energy in abundance, and it was he who
largely led the "off-the-wall" mood of this week's show. I just
happily followed along.
Pres
is a recent immigrant to Indiana, coming to us -- like Upshot and Finer
before him -- from the bustling L.A. music scene. I've never really
been to any venues in L.A., but if it's anything like those three
groups describe, I'll just be glad I'm in Indiana. L.A. did, however,
apparently give him a change to hone and refine his sense of humor and
flair for showmanship, as evidenced by his music and this interview.
Look for Pres to hopefully return in the future in the guest-host role if I have anything to say about it.
Links referenced in the show:
- Pres Maxson can be found here: MySpace.
- His former band, the Bo Dukes, can be found here: MySpace.
- Their music can be purchased from CD Baby.
- Songs from Pres' upcoming album, including the four played during ths how, is now available online via his MySpace page.
- Pres has previously worked as a casting producer for the TV shows The Singing Office, The American Inventor, and The Moment of Truth.
- You can view the infamous Moustache Movie, as well as his other video projects on YouTube.
- Pres ateended the University of Iowa, along with Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders and remains baffled as to why they have not yet called him.

Solicitations and Submissions
Solicitations for blog posts can be made by sending and email to "blog -at- indyintune -dot- com" and should follow these guidelines:
- Local (Indianapolis-based) acts always have priority.
- Visisting acts playing a bill with one or more local acts are also considered.
- We generally don't like to repeat content found on other sites. If your request already has a lot of coverage on other sites, it will be considered low-priority unless you can give us an exclusive angle.
- For obvious reasons, we don't do solicited album reviews, though we do appreciate you letting us know when you have a new release. Consider coming in and talking about the album yourself live on the air or a podcast.
- All of our staff writers are unpaid enthusiasts. All requests for blog posts are entirely at their descretion.
- As such, they generally need a lot of lead-time to put something out -- we're talking weeks of lead time, not hours.
- That said, individual authors have full authority to ignore the following guidelines and write whatever they want ... if you can convince them to.
- In addition, feel free to write your own post and submit it for posting as a "guest blogger." Those almost always get accepted.
- Finally, regional or national acts submitting without meeting the above guidelines are generally ignored. We're not trying to be dicks, but if you send us a generic form-letter with your press release, and it doesn't even remotely concern a local artist or event, then you're not part of our core focus.
