Life In The Stocks

Lisa Brownlee from the Punk Rock Museum collective joins me this week to talk all about her lifelong career in punk rock 'n' roll. Lisa was a mainstay on the Warped Tour for 24 years and is a legend in the world of punk rock - a real behind the scenes hero that's been holding the scene together for the last 30+ years. She's also part of the team behind the soon to launch Punk Rock Museum, which opens its doors on March 10. We get the full lowdown on the museum in this conversation.

My good friend Ken Horne from The Bronx, Mariachi El Bronx & The Dragons joins me for Episode 258 of Life In The Stocks. This conversation was actually recorded about a year ago, shortly before I took an extended break from the podcast, but now the show is back it's time to share it. Ken talks about growing up in Japan and supporting legends like Johnny Thunders & Michael Monroe in his old band The Dragons, before moving to America and joining The Bronx/Mariachi El Bronx. I've had the pleasure of touring with those guys many times over the last five years, and it's always a pleasure seeing and catching up with them.

Welcome to my first ever full band podcast here on Life In The Stocks. And what an incredible band to feature as the first one...you wanted the best, you got the best...the hottest band in the world: KISS. This live interview with Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer, Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley was recorded onboard the eleventh annual Kiss Kruise, and it is without a doubt one of my favourite interviews to date. What a huge honour and a great pleasure it was to host this very special live Q&A. I can't thank Kiss, Doc McGhee & Sixthman enough for this once in a lifetime opportunity. See you all for Kiss Kruise XII I hope - I promise to leave the Alice Cooper t-shirt at home. ;)Follow me on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjMy first two books (Life In The Stocks Volume One & Two) are also out NOW and available to buy from all reputable online book stores.

Life In The Stocks episodes are a little bit fewer and further between these days, and for the foreseeable future there won't be any regular podcasts.

After a three month hiatus, Life In The Stocks is BACK with a vengeance. But with a new twist. Season Four of the podcast will consist of 50 episodes all recorded in front of a live audience, because after five years and 250 episodes, I felt like it was time to switch things up. And we launch this new season and all new format to the show with the one and only Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols, Rich Kids, Iggy Pop's band, the Faces, various other groups, and a solo artist in his own right.Follow me on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjMy first two books (Life In The Stocks Volume One & Two) are also out NOW and available to buy from all reputable online book stores.
