Ozstranded podcast #271

We kick off the show on the extreme end of the musical spectrum with a classic from Canberra-based space-metal legends Alchemist and follow-up with a brand new punishing track from The Levitation Hex, featuring former Alchemist vocalist and songwriter Angus Aguis.

And this week we feature this year's first special guest, Metis country-singer JJ.Lavalle. This interview was recorded way back in December at a Christmas gathering of the Metis people of Williams Lake, BC. JJ comes from a fine musical pedigree, having cut his teeth playing traditional Metis fiddle tunes in family bands, which led to his debut album “Jimmy’s Breakdown” capturing a 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Award. JJ has since branched out into the singer-songwriter and country genres and plays festivals regularly throughout Canada.
