Show #161: Coup D'eTat By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, July 7, 2014It gets frustrating sometimes that it seems the more I am in love with a band, the longer it takes to get them to actually come in and do a podcast. Certainly Coup d'Etat has been on Indy In-Tune in varying capacities in the past year, between our Battle ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #160: The Farewell Audition Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, July 6, 2014Big things are a brewin' in Naptown this week, for the first time in what seems like decades (though I'm sure it hasn't been that long, has it?) the Vogue opens its doors to three first-time acts -- The Farewell Audition, Coup d'Etat, and The Chicago Typew...

Show #158: The Dead Squirrels Return By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, May 23, 2014The last time the Dead Squirrels were on the show, I was lamenting how difficult it was to carry on a conversation with a band that had barely played out and had no real lengthy history to discuss other than some demos they recorded on their iPads a few da... (Read Full Article) |
Show #157: Brandon Wilson By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, May 9, 2014You just get a hunch about some people. Rarely anymore am I shocked to find out that the really outgoing guy at a show the week before turns into a deer-in-the-headlights once you put him on a microphone and try to start a conversation with him. Nor is i... (Read Full Article) |

Show #152: Kiefer Jones and David Lee By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, February 26, 2014It's Always a treat to introduce new talent to the audience at large, and we've done a lot of it here. Some of these names have gone on to make waves, some of them disappeared shortly after appearing on Indy In-Tune. I don't take any cred... (Read Full Article) |
Show #151: The Chris Brake Show By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, February 23, 2014I discovered podcasts back in late 2004/early 2005, as near as I can remember. The first ones were tech news mostly. TWIT, Morning Coffee Notes, Geek News Central, etc. I quickly expanding my listening to include "subculture" stuff ... (Read Full Article) |

Show #149: Spanking Shakespeare By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, August 5, 2013One of the frustrating things -- and there are many -- about closely following the local music scene is that there is immeasurable music that you've hear which will only be heard for a limited time ... perhaps even only once. Bands at thi... (Read Full Article) |
Show #148: The Upright Willies By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, June 2, 2013A Chad Mills CD release party in Indianapolis has become something of a strange cross between a major music event and a religious ritual. There are things you can always count on: Great new music from the man himself (or in this case, his renam... (Read Full Article) |
Show #147: Gallo By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, May 5, 2013As I mention in the show, Stacy Basner has impeccable taste in music and always manages to find me the best bands for the show. Unfortunately, as with the Post Script, she has a tendency to find them about a half-hour before the interview, leav... (Read Full Article) |
Show #146: Finer Forever By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 28, 2013From the first time I met Stacy and Ethan of Finer, at a battle of the bands around 2008, I knew I liked them. I mean, how can you not? They're smart, funny, talented, and two of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. This busin... (Read Full Article) |
Show #145: Tonos Triad Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 7, 2013In this episode of the Beercast, we get into a deep exploration of Spotted Cow and the repeated consumption of fruity farmhouse ales invariably leads to more success with women. Secretly this is what "The Most Interesting Man in the World" is d... (Read Full Article) |
Show #144: Stealing Volume By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, March 28, 2013You know, I suppose every music scene has these things, but it's really cool to be able to throw terms like "super-group" around. The most obvious usage of the term being a band made up of members who were already famous for previous bands or endeavo... (Read Full Article) |
Show #143: Infamous By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, March 18, 2013Amazing the kind of stuff that goes on right in your own neighborhood without you even knowing it. I mean, I like to think I have my finger on the pulse of the Indianapolis music scene. I'm known in just about every circle, I'm welcomed a... (Read Full Article) |
Show #142: Jenna and Tony Epkey By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, March 8, 2013Allow me to regale you with a little tale. Stop me if you've heard this one before. Around six weeks ago, I returned home from open mic night around 1:00AM to hear horrid noises coming from Studio B. It seems, in keeping with the ch... (Read Full Article) |
Show #141: Ryan Brewer Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, February 26, 2013It is nice to see that the recent downturn in employment/hobby funding, for those of you keeping tabs on the off-mic version of my life, has not affected podcast downloads. Nor has it affected the enthusiasm of our local scene. In fact, w... (Read Full Article) |
Show #140: The Dead Squirrels By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, February 16, 2013Okay, so after the nightmare editing sessions that brought you the JVB/BoTo/Cristy/Swig podcast, this one was actually quite easy to edit, thereby restoring my enthusiasm and energy for the whole otherwise soul-sucking process....

Show #139: Jeremey Vogt, Jenn Cristy, Borrow Tomorrow By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, February 6, 2013It's nice that after seven years, some of these shows can still surprise me.

Show #127: The Farewell Audition By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, November 12, 2012One thing we've talked about on this show is how tight-knit certain branches of the Indy music family tree are. I first stumbled on The Farewell Audition by way of No Pit Cherries to Veseria to Verdant Vera to Audiodacity, etc. These are ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #126: Jethro Easyfields Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, November 6, 2012Spend any time talking to the players in the local folk, Americana, and singer/songwriter scenes, and I guarantee the name Jethro Easyfields will come up, usually connected to a story that should be made into a song, or possibly an episode of some sitcom a...

Show #125: Great Scott! Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 30, 2012Interesting show for you this week, this one was really more geared as less of a podcast and more of a live promotional spot for the Great Scott! Ten-Year Reunion Show. Since Brett Wiscons now holds the record for most appearances by a guest on Indy ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #124: Katie Trotta By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, October 28, 2012I suppose its fair to say that this is another of those interviews I've been waiting almost seven years to do. Back when I first started Indy In-Tune, Katie Trotta was a name on just about every singer/songwriters lips. It seemed like whenever ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #123: Black Market Binary By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, October 26, 2012Obviously I pretty much live for new music, especially live music, and most especially live music from people I know on a personal level. I say "obviously" since why else would anybody do this for almost seven years? This week's guest, Black Mark... (Read Full Article) |
Show #122: Old Truck Revival By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, October 24, 2012Have I mentioned how much fun it really is doing the radio thing? Sunday and Wednesday nights are generally spent drinking beer, shooting the breeze, and listening to music with some of the coolest people in town, in my humble opinion. Now we'v...

Show #121: Cootie Crabtree Forever By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, October 22, 2012This week marks a real treat for Studio B. Fresh off the heels of our first Podcast Concert, we are slowly building a library of exclusive live tracks, soon to be showcased on Indy In-Tune Radio -- most-likely on a little program I've been dying to d... (Read Full Article) |
Show #120: Goliathon Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, October 20, 2012The last time I interviewed Goliation, November of 2009, they were literally a garage band. Or was it a laundry room band? I sat in on part of a practice, heard some really rough demos, and chatted with them out on the patio (they were mostly s... (Read Full Article) |
Show #119: Eyes on Fire By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 16, 2012Indy In-Tune Radio continues to take off, with audiences tripling on average beginning with the official kickoff party. Since that time we've added our first two show hosts, the inimitable Mia Kileen with the Rock Show (Thursdays at 8:00 PM) and Anit... (Read Full Article) |
Show #118: Shadyside Allstars Forever By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 23, 2012When I first spoke to Jack Barkley about interviewing our mutual friends, Shadyside Allstars, he enthusiastically offered to go back and listen to the old shows in order to avoid asking the same questions that have already been asked. This made me ch... (Read Full Article) |
Show #117: The Sweetest Condition By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, September 11, 2012I get to work with all types of bands doing this stuff, and like the random shuffle of the new radio station (you know about that, right?), I always get a kick out of the "musical whiplash" you get from the unexpected left turns. My sadisti... (Read Full Article) |
Show #116: Vessel By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 9, 2012Battle season at Birdy's (not to sell short the battles at Rock House or 8 Seconds Saloon, which I also enjoy), is one of my favorite times of the year. It's a chance to hang out and party with people you only see once a year, meet new friends, and g... (Read Full Article) |
Show #115: Brandon Bowman By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, August 26, 2012I got into a conversation at the Battle of Birdy's the other day where a couple of rival musicians were discussing how many bands there actually are in Indianapolis. Of course, being the numbers geek that I am, I had to chime in with the result... (Read Full Article) |
Show #114: The Last Good Year By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, August 25, 2012Special treat for you this week: an action-packed show featuring fun, frivolity, and the kind of music that, no matter how bad a mood you're in, makes you nod your head and pound your fist in the air in defiance. The Last Good Year is one of those in... (Read Full Article) |
Show #113: The New Guilt By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, August 7, 2012I have come to fully embrace the "live format" at last. After years of resistance, I have now come to love the spontaneity, the urgency, and the fact that editing is now so easy I can do it in my sleep. Well, almost. You se... (Read Full Article) |
Show #112: Veseria By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, August 5, 2012Things are starting to run a little more smoothly around here, finally. Managed to get through this interview without any technical problems ... well, okay that one little issue where I forgot to cut in the live board until halfway through the openin...

Show #111: Voodoo Sunshine By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, July 15, 2012My own technical ineptitude aside (which I left it in just for humorous value), I'm starting to warm to the idea of live interviews. For one thing, the editing process goes from 3-4 hours down to, essentially, 1 hour (and that's just replaying the in... (Read Full Article) |
Show #110: No Pit Cherries By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, July 11, 2012Well, now, here's something new and interesting on top of something else new and interesting. It's been a big month for Indy In-Tune. We've remodeled "Studio B" to make it fit for human occupation again. We've started an on-line... (Read Full Article) |
Show #109: The Michaels Return By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, June 14, 2012This really is the show that didn't want to get put out. Three times while writing this, I accidentally clicked away from the blog page without saving in order to look up one of the links below, thus erasing what used to be a really warming and heart... (Read Full Article) |
Show #108: Nick Rapley By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, March 28, 2012Nick Rapley is one of those artists I've been trying to get on the show for the better part of two years. As with most of the Indianapolis music scene, that's kind of like hitting a moving target. Though his music has been featured on the show ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #107: Borrow Tomorrow Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, February 28, 2012About a year and a half ago, I introduced a band to this show and used the word "honest" to define them. That is to say, honest in the sense of "real" or "genuine." Since then, that band, Borrow Tomorrow, has been ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #106: Ryan M. Brewer By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, January 13, 2012Ah, a brand new year and some brand new music to kick it off right. This is not to say that I don't enjoy the "... Returns" shows, but it really is nice to get some new blood on the show again, since that's what we're about here. Ryan... (Read Full Article) |
Show #105: Vilafishburn Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, December 23, 2011My Christmas present to myself: the show I've been wanting to do for six years now. When I think back on 105 episodes of this little hobby of mine, most of what I remember is from the early shows -- back before things became "routine" and i... (Read Full Article) |
Show #104: Bashiri Asad Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, December 16, 2011Let this be a lesson to all of my musician friends, and anybody who asks me for an opinion about music. I am mostly-incapable of doing reviews, critiques, or criticisms of music. I wish I could, but in case you haven't noticed by now, I love mu... (Read Full Article) |
Show #103: New Finland Radicals Return By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, August 26, 2011I always thought there was something to the New Finland Radicals. Sure, the music isn't exactly mainstream, but it isn't so far off the beaten path that it's inaccessible. Their talents as musicians and composers (I'll use that word here in lie...

Show #102: Jason Wells Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, August 3, 2011We're back! Did you miss us? It's been a pretty busy summer hiatus for us. Excellent, new day job (FINALLY), couple of new projects in the works (more on those later), and just getting lined up for the kickoff of the second century of Ind... (Read Full Article) |
Show #100a: Good Friends Good Tunes No Edits By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, May 30, 2011Special treat for those of you who who are show loyalists, and not just one of those iTunes people who subscribes and forgets to check the web site or Facebook page every once in a while. Just for hard core fans, those of you who ever wondered why it... (Read Full Article) |
Show #101: Ben Myers By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, May 8, 2011Though they are still a matter of much controversy among musicians, the fact is that open mic nights are probably the largest and best resources I've found for catching new or relatively unheard talent and getting them spotlighted and introduced to t... (Read Full Article) |
Show #100: Good Friends Good Tunes By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 24, 2011Reflections on a Century of Episodes Show #100. Somehow I'd always known we'd get here, even though many of the shows that originally inspired me to get into podcasting have long since faded -- some of them with many fewer shows than this....

Show #099: Jeff Randall and the Sunday Best By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 10, 2011Having just recently re-edited and re-mixed Show #001, it's become glaringly obvious that the biggest difference between those early shows and these most-recent shows is that things have gotten a lot more relaxed around here. Not to say that the earl... (Read Full Article) |
Show #098: Sleeper Cell By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, March 27, 2011This week marks another foray into the largely-uncharted (by Indy In-Tune at least) waters of Indianapolis' Hip Hop scene, this time with the kindly assistance of former guest, and friend of the show, Brad Real as our guide. I must admit, I'm ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #097: Yukon Fox By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, March 13, 2011I'm pretty excited about this week's show, not because it finally clears out my backlog of raw interview recordings sitting on my hard drive, thus freeing up valuable disk space to install Command and Conquer 4, but because it gives me an opportunity to s... (Read Full Article) |
Show #096: Brad Real By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, March 6, 2011Lest you think that I'm stuck in a singer/songwriter rut, if there is such a thing, I though we might switch it up here and try something different this week. While I can't say that I will ever "get" hip hop, after meeting several of the gu... (Read Full Article) |
Show #095: Junk Box Mike By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, February 27, 2011You know, I've done a lot of these little intro/blog posts. So many that I've forgotten what I've said in half of them. Like the one that I wrote here, but just erased for because it was surprisingly similar to, and even borrowed a couple of jo... (Read Full Article) |
Show #094: Cootie Crabtree Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, February 20, 2011Lots of fun in this week's episode, which will hopefully be as entertaining to listen to as it was to record. First off, it features the return of Cootie Crabtree, one of our more-popular guests, last seen a little over a year ago ... which in my boo... (Read Full Article) |
Show #086: Brian Pitzer By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, February 13, 2011As with the last episode, this week's show has been a long time in the making and completes our two-part look into the Frankfort music scene (see Show #089) as we sample the music of Brian Pitzer. Brian is another one of those multi-faceted player... (Read Full Article) |
Show #082: Outer Sanctum Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, January 27, 2011Remember what I said last week about confusing episode numbering? This week marks the return of Outer Sanctum to the show in an interview recorded back in August, but held in reserve until now, while we awaited final mastering of their first full-length C...

Show #089: Jason Wells By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, January 17, 2011Thoroughly confused by the numbering scheme of the episodes yet? Okay, it's about to get more confusing. This episode marks the second part of our two-part foray into the Frankfort Music Scene. That may sound like a joke, but they really do have some ex... (Read Full Article) |
Show #091: September Sky By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, January 13, 2011With all due respect, as much as I love my singer-songwriters and my indie bands that make up such a large portion of the guests on this show, every once in a while, it's great to just kick back with a hard rock/metal band and just let 'er rip. After fo... (Read Full Article) |
Show #093: Pres Maxson Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, January 1, 2011What else can be said about Pres Maxson that hasn't already been said? I asked myself this very question when his people woke me out of a sound sleep at 3:30 AM, and informed me that Pres was ready to come out of his self-imposed exile and begin doing p...

Show #092: The Michaels By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, December 12, 2010Surprisingly, you get very little actual feedback when you do a podcast like this one. Oh sure, there are the death threats every time I change the format of the show or use improper grammar in a sentence, and of course there are the people that download ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #090: Mansuper By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, December 5, 2010Not quite sure what to do by way of a blog post for this week's guest. A critical analysis of his music, I'm sure he would agree, would be pointless. Some long-winded diatribe defending his validity as a musician, preemptively striking at potential let... (Read Full Article) |
Show #085: Color Icon Gray By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, November 18, 2010So after the random chaos of the Precore interview last week, we figured we'd give you something a little more cerebral and thought-provoking this time around. Color Icon Gray (the nom de plume of maestro Eric Wasson), is a band you've not seen playing ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #084: Precore By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, November 16, 2010All these interviews are different. Thank God, or I'd have gone nuts years ago. Before we record a show, I usually take a few minutes and prep the band for what to expect. I explain to them that I like to keep the show natural, less question-and-answe... (Read Full Article) |
Show #088: Vestiges of Ecstasy By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, November 14, 2010Are you starting to get confused at the way the show numbers are completely jumping around out of sequence with no logical reason behind them? Then you're going to love this week's episode. Gregg Jones, Mia Kileen, and I (collectively known as "represe... (Read Full Article) |
Show #083: Five 'Til Dawn By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, November 12, 2010This is another one of those shows I've been waiting for quite a while to do, not only because Five 'Til Dawn is one of my favorite bands to go see around town, but also because it's an offshoot band of The Dirty Third, which is another of my favorite ba... (Read Full Article) |
Show #087: Cara Jean Wahlers and Paradise Recovered By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, October 11, 2010Had a lot of fun recording this week's show, as is obvious from the number of edits that were made to keep it on-topic and down to the time allotted. I've often felt that featured artist Cara Jean Wahlers' first appearance on the show failed to properly... (Read Full Article) |
Show #081: Dead Man's Grill Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 26, 2010What a difference a year makes. Just 12 short months ago, Dead Man's Grill was an excellent, if undistinguished, hard rock band battling against a couple dozen of their peers in a battle of the bands competition on Indy's west side. When they last appear... (Read Full Article) |
Show #080: Finer Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 19, 2010This week kicks off another set of "... Returns" shows, which I've previously mentioned are a lot of fun for me, not only because I get to hang out with old friends, but also I get a more-relaxed interview that delves into more tangential topics than the... (Read Full Article) |
Show #079: Borrow Tomorrow By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 12, 2010I think every band pretty much has that one word or phrase that sums them up when someone asks you to describe them: crazy, parting, virtuosic, heavy -- I'm sure wordsmith and Scrabble master Robert Newport can come up with a few more-creative ones. The... (Read Full Article) |
Show #078: Stacy Basner Presents: The Post Script By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 5, 2010It's a source of both joy and frustration that I can't listen to and become intimately familiar with every band in Indianapolis. I mean, I'm working on it, but at last count there were about 4000 at various levels in the metro area -- assuming MySpace pag... (Read Full Article) |
Show #077: Glass Halo By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, August 29, 2010Despite what you may have been reading on our Twitter page, through automated announcements programmed a month ago, Indy In-Tune is off it's Summer hiatus and gearing up to bring you some great music and interviews through the rest of the year. The first ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #076: Camby Road By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, August 23, 2010Did it really take four and a half years for me to feature a country band on Indy In-Tune? Well, yeah, possibly, but not for lack of trying. I do recall co-sponsoring a country battle of the bands at 8 Seconds Saloon, which got pretty much no response, ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #075: Podcast Battle 2010 Winners' Circle By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, August 15, 2010I promise this will be the last time we plug the 2010 Podcast Battle of the Bands -- mostly because it's time to start thinking about the 2011 Battle. However, when you get a one-time billing of the first and second place winners, at our favorite local mu... (Read Full Article) |
Show #074: Chad Mills Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, August 9, 2010Some people complain about them, some people love them, but for those of you who haven't figured it out yet, these "... Returns" shows should really just be called "Darrin shoots the breeze with his buddies," because -- since all of the obligatory biograph... (Read Full Article) |
Show #073: Brett Wiscons By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, August 1, 2010The last time Brett Wiscons was on the show, he was lead singer of a popular local band who had written a few songs and recorded them on their first EP, which was due to arrive in grand spectacle the following week; I was a newbie podcaster, recently divor...

Show #072: Pres Maxson Presents: The Blaire Reinhard Band By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 11, 2010As Indy In-Tune approaches its fourth anniversary next week, it's nice to know there are still new things to try and new directions to take all of this mess in. Case in point, this week's show -- the first in what will hopefully be a number of "Artists Pr... (Read Full Article) |
Show #071: Podcast Battle 2010 Wrapup By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, February 6, 2010It's finally time to see who is the best.

Show #069: Gypsy Revival By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, January 3, 2010Apologies for the late delivery of this episode, but it's been quite a busy month aroud the ol' barn here. In addition to the usual holiday mess, we've endured lay-off's, day-job changes, and the launch of our first Podcast Battle of the Bands, which turn... (Read Full Article) |
Show #068: The New Finland Radicals By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, December 8, 2009There's something about the power trio format. From Buddy Holly and the Crickets to The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, the three-man rock lineup seems to be synonymous with long instrumental jams, heavy guitar chords, and ultra-tight rock played with ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #067: Goliathon By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, November 29, 2009I think one of the great joys of music as personal expression -- that is, the thing that elevates groups from, "Yeah, I like those guys," to "You don't understand: you've got to hear these guys the way I do" -- is the element of discovery. I've talked a ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #066: Bobby Clark By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, November 19, 2009This show has been in the planning stages for months, and was one that I had really been looking forward to, knowing all along that it was going to be a good one. I meet a lot of artists doing these shows, and in general, most of them are quite nice, very... (Read Full Article) |
Show #065: Bashiri Asad By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, November 15, 2009Obviously, the main goal of what we do here is to expose artists (particularly up-and-coming ones) to a broader audience. Secondary to that, however, is the idea of introducing audiences to styles of music that they may not be overly familiar with. Granted... (Read Full Article) |
Show #064: Cootie Crabtree By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, November 12, 2009In retrospect, it was inevitable that Mr. Coot Crabtree would make it on to this show eventually. As someone who's worked with several of our former guests, is a staple (dare we say, 'living legend') in our local singer/songwriter community, is a former po... (Read Full Article) |
Show #062: Kammy's Kause 2009 Wrapup By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, November 6, 2009Okay, so let me explain what's going on in this one, since obviously, it's sort of a unique show and probably won't make any sense outside of its context. This is the fifth of five segments recorded at Kammy's Kause '09. The slot was origi... (Read Full Article) |
Show #061: Landon Keller By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, October 25, 2009Our series of five shows from Kammy's Kause 2009 continues this week with a visit from Landon Keller. This one was a bit of a surprise. I had not actually heard of Landon before seeing the schedule for this year's show ... to say nothing... (Read Full Article) |
Show #060: The Twin Cats By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 20, 2009This week's show features a long-awaited chance for me to meet the Twin Cats, a band I have seen play live several times, and who is talked about as a major influence on many of our former guests (Shadyside Allstars, Blue Moon Revue, Original State o... (Read Full Article) |
Show #059: Blue Moon Revue Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 13, 2009Continuing on with our series of returning guests, and our series from Kammy's Kause 2009, we welcome back Blue Moon Revue, an uber-talented rock, funk, and blues-based band -- originally from Bloomington, Indiana -- out of Chicago that is currently m... (Read Full Article) |
Show #058: Shadyside Allstars Return By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 6, 2009Ahhh, festival season. My favorite time of year -- Wunurth, Muncie Musicfest, The Battle of Birdy's, Oranje, Little Turtle, and my personal favorite (well, now that Circlefest is no more, yeah, THANKS Laura): Kammy's Kause. Every year at the ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #063: Dead Man's Grill By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, September 27, 2009Yeah, I'm not sure what I was drinking during this recording -- in fact, I don't remember drinking much at all until after we were done -- but there seems to be an unusually happy vibe about it compared to the last couple I've edited. Possibly this... (Read Full Article) |
Show #055: Lost Kauze By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, September 26, 2009To say Lost Kauze is a band going through a "transitional phase" may be the understatement of the year. I've had several bands go through lineup changes since appearing on the show, a couple have since broken up, and in a couple cases, I'... (Read Full Article) |
Show #054: Jethro Easyfields By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, September 11, 2009Sometimes, despite being entrenched in various attempts further and promote the medium to the layman, I really regret the relative youth and instant accessibility of podcasting. There just isn't the history or massive, undiscovered, forgotten areas... (Read Full Article) |
Show #053: Smoke Ring By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, September 9, 2009This is the third of three shows recorded July 31 during round 1 of 8 Seconds Saloon's Rock Battle '09 (co-sponsored by Indy In-Tune). Two more bands that we, unfortunately, didn't have time to record that night will be on in future episodes (#056 with B... (Read Full Article) |
Show #052: Outer Sanctum By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, September 5, 2009Most people have no idea how much work goes in to preparing an episode of this show. I suppose music engineer-types do, maybe wives and children of podcasters, and so forth, but not the average listener or band member, I'm pretty sure. You... (Read Full Article) |
Show #057: The Jeremy Vogt Band Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, September 2, 2009When I go back in the archives and consider my top five favorite interviews over the last 50-some-odd that I've done, I'm always reminded of a brisk April night in the biergarten at the Rathskellar, late April, 2006. Just to set the scene: it's aro... (Read Full Article) |
Show #051: Civilian By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, August 31, 2009The cool thing about doing Indy In-Tune is that the mood and tone of the shows is as diverse as the music we feature. Thus, after doing three somewhat serious singer-songwriter shows in a row, it's nice to have fun, crazy band-centric one that ju... (Read Full Article) |
Show #050: Tim Spainhower By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, August 12, 2009This is one of "those" shows. One where, seeing as how this podcast just (finally) turned 50, I decide not to go all out with a big fanfare, retrospective, or party, but one where I just pop out to my favorite watering hole, grab a coupl... (Read Full Article) |
Crossroad Resonances In-Tune #000 By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, August 8, 2009Indy In-Tune is about to release it's fiftieth episode. Fifty! Though you're not supposed to make a big deal about these things by doing the obligatory clip show or whatever, I can't help but take just a little breather here. Fifty!&nbs... (Read Full Article) |
Show #049: Branch Gordon By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, August 5, 2009One thing I will say for the Indianapolis music scene, there certainly is a lot of it. When I first looked into doing this podcast, I had done a little research and concluded that there were around 3700 bands in the Indianapolis area (both orig... (Read Full Article) |
Show #048: Jeremiah Cosner and the Concrete Sailors By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, July 31, 2009It's the little things in life that make it all worth while, and in many ways, this show is a perfect example. First off, there's the music -- a great set of songs from local singer/songwriter Jeremiah Cosner (now frontman of the Concrete Sailors).... (Read Full Article) |
Show #047: Dutch Rudder By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, July 29, 2009Since I started the last two shows with a cliche, let me complete the trilogy by starting this one with the old saying, "Youth is wasted on the young." This week we present Dutch Rudder, a fresh-on-the-scene underground/DIY band that in... (Read Full Article) |
Show #046: The World Famous Scraps By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, July 26, 2009It may be a cliche, but it's certainly no exaggeration when I say that we've got a fantastic show for you this week. Not only do we have six great tracks from The World Famous Scraps, but also a great interview that is both witty and intelligent.&n... (Read Full Article) |
Show #045: Active Live Infection By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, July 19, 2009It's probably a cliche, but these are difficult times we live in between work, money problems brought on by work, family problem brought on by work, a frantic pace with no time for individuality or creativity brought on by work, and the ever-present w... (Read Full Article) |
Show #044: Pres Maxson By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, June 30, 2009Every 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 los... (Read Full Article) |
Show #043: Bring the Fiyah By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, June 26, 2009I love a bit of controversy. I've actually had very little with this show over the years, and what I did have is normally from that vocal group of five or six listeners who hate it when I change anything, no matter how minute ... new layout on the ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #042: Tonos Triad By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, June 22, 2009Even though I'm frequently a judge at such things, I have this love-hate relationship with the typical "Battle of the Bands" competition. The one redeeming factor is that I get to see a lot of acts this way. I've seen some comically... (Read Full Article) |
Show #041: Fernhead By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, June 18, 2009So we took a couple weeks off in there, but rest assured that we were not sitting around twiddling our thumbs and watching crappy VH1 countdowns during that time. Quite the contrary, we managed to record seven new shows, which will be coming about ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #040: The Great Hookup By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, May 21, 2009This week continues our busy month of May with a visit with The Great Hookup, a band that first came to my attention when they opened up for ESW at Birdy's some months ago, and later when singer/guitarist Rory Connolly began hosting the Monday night open... (Read Full Article) |
Show #039: Finer By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, May 13, 2009A friend and I were discussing what we liked about the new bands we're listening to these days. It would seem this changes every couple of years for us. Certainly musicianship is important, as is stage presence, and maybe even a bit of an ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #038: Scooter Hanes By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, May 10, 2009This is another one of those shows that has been in the works for what seems like an eternity. I've been friends Scooter Hanes for a few years now, but it has taken all that time for the stars to align such that the timing is right to have him on... (Read Full Article) |
Show #037: The Night Owls By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, May 6, 2009This week's show marks a new tact in creating podcasts for me ... and you know I love to change things up. When Ben Bledsoe (ex Memory Thief) contacted me and offered to meet me up at "Studio C" for an interview, I took a quick listen to ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #036: Kurt Rambis By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, April 23, 2009You know, you spend 20+ years in the music scene, you think you know how it is and what's going on, then some 20-something-year-old upstart kids essentially call you an old fart and show you an entire subculture that you were barely aware even existed.So... (Read Full Article) |
Show #035: Whoa!Tiger By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, April 4, 2009I'm constantly amazed by how everybody has a different perspective on the Indianapolis music scene. Some people say it's great and thriving, some people are frustrated that it seems dominated by some style of music other than their own, some people... (Read Full Article) |
Show #034: Shelby Kelley By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, March 27, 2009One of the cool things about doing this show is going out to cool remote locations, enduring the bewildered stares and questions of people who are not yet podcast-savvy, and annoying the audiophiles and broadcasting professionals who think I should be lo... (Read Full Article) |
Show #033: Jeff DeHerdt By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, March 15, 2009While I've probably listened to a couple hundred local acts in the past three years, and I always make a concerted effort to research every artist and band that I put on the show, there are only a few local artists whose music I am as intimately familiar... (Read Full Article) |
Show #032: Indianapolis Songwriters Cafe and the Big Roots Show By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, March 2, 2009This week's show is one that I've been looking forward to doing for almost a year now, ever since I was first introduced to the Indianapolis Songwriter's Cafe and the music of Cliff Snyder. This week, rather than playing their own music and talking a... (Read Full Article) |
Show #030: Upshot By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, February 23, 2009One of the cool things about doing this show is when you find a band who plays music that's different from everything you've featured before. Another cool thing is when you find a band who is energetic, upbeat, and genuinely excited about making th... (Read Full Article) |
Show #031: Jenn Cristy Returns By: Darrin Snider -- Friday, February 6, 2009This week marks the first new show for a while, and hopefully a return from our self-imposed hiatus to producing new shows on a semi-regular basis (at least that's my New Years' resolution this year). What can I say? It's been a crazy last tw... (Read Full Article) |
Show #028: Donvinci By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, October 24, 2007After a marathon seven shows recorded in one day in the chilly outdoors at Kammy's Kause (not that I didn't thoroughly enjoy myself) talking to what was largely a collection of jam bands, we're going to change things up this week. The thing I found... (Read Full Article) |
Show #027: Original State of Mind By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, October 11, 2007This is the last of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit. Pretty much by this point I'm wired for speed on coffee, freezing my butt off, and somewhat punchy as we creep into the late hours of the night. In all,... (Read Full Article) |
Show #025: Josh Holmes By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 2, 2007This is the fifth of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit and features Northwest Indiana singer/songwriter/musician Josh Holmes. Along with being the infamous triple threat (possibly quadruple -- I don't know for sure if ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #024: Digby By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 2, 2007This is the fourth of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit and features the Louisville, KY Digby -- no thanks to Audacity who seemed to enjoy itself eating my edits and choking on the completed file ... twice.As I stated in ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #023: Chad Mills By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, October 2, 2007This is the third of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit and features singer/songwriter Chad Mills and percussionist Bob Stewart. Chad is interesting in that he is, by day, an engineer -- not exactly a job that affords you... (Read Full Article) |
Show #022: Say By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, September 25, 2007This is the second of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit (and apparently the fifth and final in a series of bands whose name begins with the letter 'S'). I have to admit I was somewhat nervous about this one. They didn't ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #021: Shadyside Allstars By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, September 24, 2007This is the first of seven shows recorded on September 15th at the Kammy's Kause benefit, and as I explained in the outrobabble, it's a long one. Unfortunately, there was a lot of great music, one hilarious interview, and a lot of supplemental material t... (Read Full Article) |
Show #020: Sweet Dilemma By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, May 19, 2007This is a show I've been waiting to do for a while. I first met Sweet Dilemma back in September through a mutual friend. It took a while to get schedules coordinated, and eventually it was Johnny Lyles at Lonewolf Media Entertainment who just sort of dro... (Read Full Article) |
Show #019: State By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, May 19, 2007This week marks a return to a cozy little bar at my alma mater in Bloomington, Indiana to meet up with the band State, a high-energy punk/pop/rock outfit fronted by veteran David Barajas (ex Extra Blue Kind). The band has been getting great reviews in mo... (Read Full Article) |
Show #018: Strange Face By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, May 19, 2007Oh, those wacky guys. This week's show is a bit chaotic as you can tell, powered by a bit too much beer and a band that, when I said, "Just be relaxed and conversational," actually took me to heart. So, for the multiple conversations and the ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #017: Foster's Branch By: Darrin Snider -- Monday, April 23, 2007The third in our triple-shot of shows this week features the talents of Foster's Branch. As one of the most musically diverse power trios and certainly one of the busiest bands in the Indianapolis Scene, they have been quietly assembling a rabid fan ba... (Read Full Article) |
Show #016: Tish Lyndsey By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, April 21, 2007This week features the long-promised interview with Tish Lyndsey, an exciting performer in the local scene who blends pop, soul, and jazz with an angelic voice and a stage presence that can only be described as electrifying. Tish gives us four great track... (Read Full Article) |
Show #015: Rok Hollywood By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, April 19, 2007You know, there's something almost therapeutic about spending an entire weekend kicking back with a case of beer, a laptop and doing nothing but slapping on headphones and power-editing six podcasts. It sure beats the complete stressfest that was April ar... (Read Full Article) |
Show #014: The Dirty Third By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, March 7, 2007I could go on record saying that I struggled for a while over what to do about this week's show. That would be a lie, however. On one hand, I freely admit that some of the language, actions, and stories from this interview are completely inappropriat... (Read Full Article) |
Show #013: Aether Law By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, March 7, 2007Okay, I think we're definitely in a rhythm now and the log-jam of old interviews is finally clearing out. Prepare yourself for a double-shot of shows ... and apologies to those of you who will subsequently hear my voice ringing in your head for the next... (Read Full Article) |
Show #012: Jenn Cristy By: Darrin Snider -- Thursday, February 22, 2007Yes, please do not panic because I've managed to put out an unprecedented two shows in a row. There are still eight more to go before I'm allowed to lose steam. The fact is, I had to start editing up these things because, owing to the size of a raw audi... (Read Full Article) |
Show #011: Vilafishburn By: Darrin Snider -- Wednesday, February 21, 2007Just in from the "better late than never" department, this week's show features the long-promised interview with Vilafishburn, recorded last summer and delayed by the "great laptop meltdown" and subsequent schedule reshuffling. As su... (Read Full Article) |
Show #010: Great Scott! By: Darrin Snider -- Tuesday, November 28, 2006Great show this week from a seasoned road band with lots of great stories. Great Scott! (Obligatory exclamation point theirs, not mine) is one of the rising stars of Indianapolis, having already paid their dues in the Broadripple club scene. With a sou... (Read Full Article) |

Show #008: Bottle Rocket Blue By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, November 4, 2006As I said in the show opening, a thousand apologies for the summer-long hiatus. It has been an absolutely dreadful last few months between technical, legal, family health, professional, employment, relationship, and financial crises. Fortunately, it's g... (Read Full Article) |
Show #007: Fabulous Huckleberries By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, June 3, 2006It's been a big week for Indy In-Tune alums. Jeremy Vogt played the VIP tent at the Dave Matthews band concert last night. Meanwhile, accross the city, the Danny Isaacs Band placed second in their heat at the Battle of Birdy's and advances t... (Read Full Article) |
Show #006: Gentleman Caller By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, May 20, 2006So, this week it isn't software that's driving me nuts. It's hardware. Sadly, while trying out some new equipment on Saturday, I blew the sound card in the laptop. The soundcard, as you have probably guessed, is a somewhat critical par... (Read Full Article) |
Show #005: CA3 By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, May 13, 2006For those of you who thought maybe my moniker of "music geek" was somewhat unwarranted, this episode should either put your mind at ease, or put you off the show altogether. But hey, it's my show, so expect me to be self indulgent, explorato... (Read Full Article) |
Show #004: Jeremy Vogt Band By: Darrin Snider -- Saturday, May 6, 2006A quick warning to anyone who wants to get into this whole "podcasting gig:" when it comes to audio recording and editing software, you get what you pay for. So avoid the cheap stuff, unless you've a penchant for losing hours of work at ... (Read Full Article) |
Show #003: Extra Blue Kind By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 30, 2006I think I'm going to make a concerted effort to stop apologizing for all these technical issues -- particularly those beyond my control. So here goes: this week's interview -- Opulent Records' artist Extra Blue Kind -- was brought to you at great pers... (Read Full Article) |
Show #002: Danny Isaacs Band By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 23, 2006I think it's safe to say we're getting our wind here. We haven't exactly hit our stride yet, but we're definitely starting to get a handle on the technical issues that plagued us in show number 1. Okay, a there are a few volume spikes here an there, but... (Read Full Article) |
Show #001: Brian Deer By: Darrin Snider -- Sunday, April 16, 2006You know how it took Pink Floyd six years and seven albums before they came up with "Dark Side of the Moon?" You know how the early stuff is still really good -- and eventually attained a fanatical cult following -- yet when you listen to it you think, "... (Read Full Article) |

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.
