Ian F. Svenonius is one of underground culture’s most provocative singers and thinkers. From leading impassioned Washington D.C. bands like Nation of Ulysses and the Make-Up, writing books like The Psychic Soviet, and serving as the host of the revealing interview show, Soft Focus, Svenonius has left an indelible mark on music, influencing the way many people contemplate and consume it. Late last year, Akashic Books published Svenonius’ faux how-to guide, Super-Natural Strategies for Making a Rock ‘n’ Roll Group and that same year, his band Chain & The Gang released a great album called In Cool Blood, which is available via K Records. Chain & The Gang are performing at SappyFest in Sackville, NB between Aug 2 and 4. Ian and I talk about these things plus music festival culture, band reunions, and more.
