Lovespirals Guest Host Mothpod

2 Comments

This was mentioned on the last Chillin’ with Lovespirals episode, but in case you missed it Lovespirals were recently special guest hosts on The Mothpod, along with show producer and creator, Zack Daggy. Not only did the band share songs from and answer questions about Future Past, but Ryan and Anji selected 6 songs by other artists for the show. Lovespirals obviously enjoyed chatting with Zack and the audio quality is really great for a live chat. You can check out the full shownotes and such on the official Mothpod Podcast #177 entry or just stream or download the show below. You can also read a fun written interview with Ryan and Anji on Mothpod’s Lovespirals Artist Feature. As part of a full week of Lovespirals love, Zack also selected Future Past as the Mothpod Pick of the Week, featured “Home” on Music Video Wednesday, and presented a video of Lovespirals practicing for their recent Harlot gig in A Day in the Life of Lovespirals. To top it all off, Zack held a contest for a free autographed copy of Future Past. Thanks Zack!

Lovespirals bring you up to date with the release of their 4th album, Future Past. They’ve set the official pre-release date for Tuesday, Nov. 17th, but you can hear clips of every song right now on this very episode! Ryan and Anji also detail recent changes to lovespirals.com, including the new logo created by ithinkitsnice, new band photos by Susan Jennings, the Future Past discography page, audio clips, and album lyrics. They also give a big pitch for why you should join their Facebook page at facebook.com/lovespirals, invite you to join their street team with instructions for one simple task, and talk about their first interview for the new album. But the best story of this episode is about how English fan, Andrew Banville was FIRST to order the CD, for the 3rd time!!!
