Episode 137 - Adam Czeisler of Sweet Water! If you have never heard this band you missed out! Thankfully they are back together and making new music. They were very big in Seattle in the 90s. Their songs were all over radio, and they played shows with Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Candlebox, and Flaming Lips. Their second record “Superfriends” was produced by Dave Jerden (Alice in Chains, Jane’s Addiction) and is criminally underrated. While the songs “Superstar” and “Feed Yourself” did get some national airplay, the whole record is phenomenal and still sounds great today. Adam tells me the whole story of the band, coming up in the 90s Seattle scene, and talks about the upcoming record and live shows!
