Lana and I go back to 2017 when I first moved to Dunedin (pronounced 'duh-NEE-din') New Zealand and was introduced through her partner Joerg and their band Yung Nat$. Joerg and I started Swallows Nest and right as I decided to move back to Canada Yung Nat$ called it a day. Naturally we asked Lana if she could take over on vocals for Swallows Nest. Bam. Then while on tour in Europe with Swallows Nest and Crowning she helped form Cuck, her newest and most abrasive endeavour to date. The band features Gabe and Joerg of Swallows Nest, Machina Rex, Sewage, and just released their 14-track self-titled debut. We talked a bit about this, as well as: Maori influence and upbringing, the racist anal sphincter of New Zealand, first song she learned on bass, hair metal crossover, adjusting to being in a band/touring, joining Swallows Nest, the end of Swallows Nest, the birth of Cuck, best tour moment, ruining Lana's tour posters, smelling your own underwear is totally normal, Aureole Of Ash influence, Lana's impressive tour voice, the Maori people getting fucked by the British and healing, liking avocados so much you don't buy a house, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Harris Hawk, Iron Maiden, Little Simz, and Soul Glo. Listen to podcast #96 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
***Note: Te Kooti was NOT head of the Parihaka movement and the attempted assassination of the queen happened in 1981.
