Our first LIVE broadcast! It was very fun to put this episode together, I give a nod to the fine folks at the You Don't Know Mojack podcast, do my best to not have that many "um"s and "uh"s but it couldn't be helped!

With an ear for new and innovative artists, Patrick Garcia's booking work as well as his curation with the music venue Yerberia Cultura have contributed greatly to the growth and maturity of the Rio Grande Valley music scene and effectively put it "on the map" as far as the rest of the country is concerned, with the amount of touring artists coming through town tenfold the amount it was ten years ago. He's responsible for introducing me to a community of artists at 19 that I would come to love, admire, and learn many things from on my journey to becoming one of them, and has supported me ever since. I've been privileged to call him a friend, a roommate, and an inspiration in that time. Following the recent announcement of his decision to step down as co-owner and curator at Yerberia Cultura, I sat down with him at my apt in McAllen, a.k.a. "the studio" to talk about his decision and more over some cool-to-room-temperature Coors Lights.

Today's episode brings you BLASST's first interview in almost a year! Our guests are the Rio Grande Valley's premiere post-progressive rock group, DEZORAH. The band sits down to discuss their upcoming EP, Creando Azul, touring, and everything from their favorite video games to their love for hot sauce and System of a Down. Crack open a cold one, microwave those leftovers, and drown them in some Mad Dog 357. This is a HOT ONE.

Today we pay respects to the Star Wars universe for about 2 minutes and then play some damn music.
