Interview with Bleeding Rainbow – podcast

Bleeding Rainbow has just one request: Don’t ask about their band name! Focus on their sound. They’ve been described as “Psychedelic Shoepunk Post-gaze,” if that makes it any clearer. In this interview, band member and singer, Sarah, discusses the evolution of Bleeding Rainbow from a 2 to 4-piece, the current trend of super-strung-together-genre-classifications, and yes, their band name.

Who: Bleeding Rainbow; interviewed by Kayla Liederbach
What: Sarah gives insight on the music scene that can only come from a real insider
Where: Murfie HQ, Madison, WI
When: Friday, January 18th, 2013
How: Recorded by Kayla Liederbach
File: mp3 version
