*** PODCAST #129 Hellena Christensen (Senza, Tolls, etc.) ***


     I've known Hellena for quite a bit a this point, as I've been chatting with SENZA since 2015 - wow almost a decade!!! After meeting her at ZBR 2019 and again at a show in 2021, we had reached our two mark of not seeing/chatting so we rectified the problem. SENZA recently put a shirt up for pre-order so they can fund the recording of their next vinyl EP (linked here) that you should definitely pick up (I sure did). 2024 will see new SENZA, new TOLLS, Hellena's new band THE NAMES OF OUR FRIENDS and so much more. A few things touched on in this podcast: Southtowne Lanes/The Names Of Our Friends/Paraselene/Tolls/Senza info, building pipe organs for churches, a Star Wars vs. Metallica question, Baroness good/Baroness bad aka the Dave Norman Baroness story, being the local bassist, Senza through the years, improvising screamo, a hidden easter egg in 'Even A Worm Will Turn', having something to prove, Mason's incredible mind, the buried EP and it's unearthing, the flavor of dreams, Tolls Talk aka new Tolls comin', etc. Bands played in this podcast: Alas, The Baroness, Buried Inside, Celeste, Heaven In Her Arms, and Plebian Grandstand. Listen to podcast #129 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
