Grasshopper (Mercury Rev) Talks with Lia Braswell (A Place to Bury Strangers) for the Talkhouse Podcast

The two sat down at Desert Daze to chat artistic community, DIY culture, and the restorative power of seeing live music.

For today’s episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, we sat down backstage at Desert Daze with Grasshopper of Mercury Rev and A Place To Bury Strangers’s Lia Braswell. The two are big fans of each others’ live sets, and were psyched to meet and chop it up.

Their conversation takes in a lot: artistic community, DIY culture, the years of work it takes to succeed, and the restorative power of seeing live music. Oh, and we learn how Lia learned to appreciate the feedback.
