In this episode of the Fandomania: Geek Music podcast, I talk to Paul Melançon. He’s currently running a Kickstarter with the help of Angela Webber of The Doubleclicks. It’s for a concept album about a cartoon band called The Get-Gos. The album, The Get-Gos Action Hour!, is a tour “from depression to destruction to a very strange sort of redemption. All this through the kaleidoscope of Hanna-Barbera, Amazonian shaman, and hamburgers.” He’s also been making music for over 20 years now, so we get into some of his history, including a hiatus he took that lead to the making of this album.
Songs played in the show:
- “Hyperventilate” (from the upcoming album The Get-Gos Action Hour!)
- “Dark Double Bed” (from the album Hopeful Monsters by The Arts and Sciences)
- “Makes No Sense at All” (Hüsker Dü cover from the Theme Music project)
