“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week, we’re doing an 80s deep dive with Ozn from Ebn-Ozn. They burst onto the scene at the dawn of MTV with their video for “AEIOU Sometimes Y” – a song the mixed the elements of everything that was happening at the time. New wave, rap, the new anything goes mentality of the early 80s. The song even made it’s way onto Rolling Stone’s recent list of the best songs of 1983! Ebn-Ozn disbanded in the mid-80s and Ozn went on to find success as Dada Nada with a string of house music hits in the 90s and into the 2000s. But, it was a recent return to his 80s roots that proved a recent pivotal moment for him.

This week we have Carrie Akre on the show. She fronted two amazing bands from 90s Seattle – Hammerbox and Goodness – that were legendary if you were in the know. They were always on the precipice of something big but they never quite got to Pearl Jam status. One of the main reasons why the band is beloved is because of Carrie’s remarkable voice and stage presence. Really, both bands should have been way bigger and it’s worth digging out their records – they’re out there on the streaming service of your choice! Today, Carrie is still out there creating music and art and shares with us a story of how she discovered her voice by way of a stint in France .

Episode 67 - Fergal Lawler from The Cranberries
“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring.
This week, we’re venturing back to the 90s with Fergal Lawler from the massive band The Cranberries. They were all over the radio at the time with hits like “Linger” “Zombie” and “Dreams.” They’re probably the second biggest band from Ireland, after U2. After the devasting loss of singer Dolores O’Riordan in 2018, Fergal had to find the confidence to venture into a new way to express himself – moving into composing for film. Fergal also gets into the formation of The Cranberries, how they wrote and released "Zombie," and talks about a recent brush with death.
