10:30 – Interview with Scott Cordes, Jan Chapman, Bill Christie and Alan Tilson

The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre Company‘s production of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest,” begins public performances tonight, March 7, and runs through March 25. Adapted for the stage by Dale Wasserman from Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel. The play was first produced on Broadway in 1963. In 1975 Ken Kesey’s novel was adapted into an Academy Award winning film directed by Milos Forman. The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre’s production of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” features: Jan Chapman as Nurse Ratched, Scott Cordes as McMurphy, and is directed By Bill Christie. The MET is located at 3604 Main Street, in Kansas City, MO. For more info: metkc.org or 816-569-3226.

Scott Cordes, Bill Christie, Jan Chapman and Alan Tilson, from The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre joined us on Wednesday MidDay Medley.

Scott Cordes plays McMurphy, one of those special roles of the theatre and film, originally played by Kirk Douglas in 1963, Jack Nicholson in the 1975 film version that was based on the novel (and not the play), and Gary Sinese of the Steppenwolf Theatre’s production, that ran on Broadway, and won a Tony for Best Play Revival. Scott has been able to play many many roles, but this character seems to bring him back to those roles he has become famous for playing, from the very beginning of his professional career. Scott told us how it feels bringing McMurphy to life on stage.

Jan Chapman, is a core company member of The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre. Jan is playing Nurse Ratched, one of the most interesting characters of the theatre and film. This role seems like a tightrope walk for the actress.

Alan Tilson, is a core company member of The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre. He is playing Dale Harding, President of the Patients Council. Alan told us about his role, and the rehearsal process for this production.

Bill Christie has been working in KC Theatre for over 25 years and an Actor, Stage Manager, Production Manager and Director. He spends most of his time at The American Heartland Theatre. After seeing “39 Steps” last year at The American Heartland, MET founder Karen Paisley asked Bill to come direct for the MET. Bill suggested they produce this show.

Scott Cordes talked about the large cast including: Tim Ahlenius, Ari Bavel, Donette Coleman, Kyle Dyck, Dan Hillaker, Donovan Kidd, Kristin Leathers, Matt Leonard, Tyler Miller, Priest Hughes, Chris Roady, Kenzie West, Samn Wright. (Scott Cordes, Jan Chapman and Alan Tilson).

Kenneth Elton “Ken” Kesey was born in Sept. 17, 1935 – and passed on November 10, 2001. He was best known for his 1962 novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” But for many of us it was Tom Wolfe’s “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” published in 1968 that told the story of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters driving across the country in a psychedelic painted school bus dubbed “Further”. Kesey considered himself a link between the Beat Generation of the 1950s and the hippies of the 1960s. “I was too young to be a beatnik, and too old to be a hippie.” While based in Kesey’s counter culture P.O.V. “Cuckoo’s Nest” seems to have a universal appeal in regard to how our society deals with the extraordinary, non-conformist. Jan Chapman talked about how this play remains relevant in 2012, 50 years after it was first published.

The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre Company along with The Living Room Theatre, are two of the newest theatre companies to emerge in the last few years. There seems to be a growth of many new theatre companies in Kansas City. Bill Christie talked about what these new companies mean for actors and theatre craftspeople, and also for audiences.

Jan and Scott and Alan have worked together in previous show at The MET and at other theatre, they talked bout what it means to be a core member of the MET Company.

The MET seems to be focused on bringing to life classic theatre. The company is not afraid of large casts and challenging musicals. Alan Tilson discussed what the MET brings to the theatre scene.

We didn’t have time to talk with Scott about his “Directing” credits which are as impressive as his “Acting” credits.

The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre’s production of “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” runs March 7 through March 25.

10:30 – Interview with The B’Dina’s

The B'Dinas (Photo by Angelic Davila)

What happens when your band’s new EP is being recorded in the home studio of your drummer and halfway through the recording process your drummer moves to a new house, with an irritable neighbor living next door? The B’Dina’s, joined us to answer this question and to talk about their upcoming show at Czar, with The Empty Spaces, and I Hate You Just Kidding, this Saturday Night, February. 25, to celebrate the release of their new EP “Morning Party,” Meredith McGrade and Tess Jehle both had to work, but Katy Guillen, Peter Lawless, and Katelyn Boone, joined us live.

The B’Dinas Roll Call:
Katy Guillen (guitar/vocals/harmonica)
Meredith McGrade (guitar/vocals)
Peter Lawless (bass/vocals/saxophone)
Katelyn Boone (keys/vocals/bass)
and Tess Jehle (drums)

“Morning Party,” is the follow-up to their 2010 debut “Homemade Rock & Roll.”

The new six-song disc is the product of a fraught year of home recording. Among the obstacles was a particularly irritable neighbor.

Drummer Tess Jehle explains: “We recorded the first half at my old house, but then I moved and immediately started getting noise complaints from next door.” Between delaying work on the EP to construct soundproof walls within their laundry-room-cum-rehearsal-space and paying strict attention to every detail of the recording and mixing process.

The B’Dinas feel that Morning Party is a long time coming. But of the effort, guitarist Katy Guillen says, “All the time we took was worth it. I’m very proud of this record, and I think it represents the band at its best.”

Morning Party draws on many genres, beginning w/ the slightly-surreal pop rager “Five-Day Weekend!” and ending w/ the saxophone-driven funky blues of “Mystery Face.”

The B’Dinas show off guitars both searing & sensitive, vocals ranging from gritty & distorted to floating choral arrangements, & lyrical themes from bittersweet to political.

The B’Dinas are already recording their next album.

We also discussed The B’Dinas brother and sister bands: Dream Wolf, Appropriate Grammar, and Claire & The Crowded Stage.

The B’Dinas were voted Audience Favorite at The 2012 HRC Battle of The Bands, back in January, congratulations!

The B’Dina’s, play Czar, with The Empty Spaces, and I Hate You Just Kidding, on Sat., Feb. 25, to celebrate the release of their new EP “Morning Party,” More info at: thebdinas.com

“The Midcoast Takeover Benefit shows are created to raise funds specifically for the expense of two full days (and night) of the showcase in Austin, Texas, at The SXSW Music Festival. Renting a venue in a prime area is expensive. Unlike a lot of other showcases, the Kansas City organizers invest in top notch production for sound and lights, which are transported to Austin and back home. In addition, there are advertising costs, website design and maintenance, printing costs for posters and handbills. The showcase in Austin is free to the public, so organisers raise all the funds in advance. Everyone involved works to ensure that our Kansas City bands have the best production and best support that organisers can manage.”

MidCoast Takeover was born from The Midwest Music Foundation a not-for-profit organization that has the amazing mission of supporting and helping to create a safety net for our amazing, hard working, local musical artists. The Midwest Music Foundation has given birth to many annual events to raise funds and awareness for the Kansas City Music Scene. MidCoast Takeover is rooted this amazing objective.

Chris and Mark talked about some of the other principle organizers of MidCoast Takeover: Rhonda Lyne, Christopher Meck, Abigail Henderson, Sondra Freeman, and Amy Farrand. These people have donated hours and hours of time and work, to help make our Kansas City music community stronger.

“It takes a village”

Chris talked about the community involvement in MidCoast Takeover and the 2012 SPONSORS: The Brick, CM2 Audio, Czar, Harvest Productions, INK, Midwest Music Foundation, Record Bar, Riot Room, XO, Blackwater, TV Party, Boulevard Brewing Co., C & C Custom Drums, Chipotle, Mammoth/Hunt Productions, Scarlett Amps, Seen Merch, KC Creative Crossroads, J Naatz Design, Mike Nickells Studio, Pipeline Productions, and Eleven Productions.

11:10 – Interview with Jerad Colton Tomasino & Ross Brown of Golden Sound Records.

Ross Brown & Jerad Tomasino are two of the founders (w/ Mat Shoare) of Golden Sound Records.

Ross Brown grew up in West rural Olathe. His band Fullbloods will be in concert this Sat, Feb 18, at 10:00 PM at The Brick, 1727 MCGEE, w/ Richard the Lionhearted from Columbia and Millions of Boys from Omaha, w/ an acoustic set by Jerad Tomasino.

Jerad and Ross join us today to talk about Golden Sound Records, their involvement in the Midcoast Takeover 2012, The Middle of The Map Festival and the Kansas City Music Scene.

For info you can visit: goldensoundrecords.com

Ross grew up in west rural Olathe.

Jerad came from a Military family, and moved around alot, but claims Omaha as a hometown.

Ross Brown started playing trumpet in junior high school band and continued through high school playing euphonium, guitar and bass in jazz band, and singing in choir. Music classes were all he took from “public school” during high school. He started writing music when he picked up guitar around 12 years old. He picked up bass and drums shortly afterwards to accompany myself on recordings. Singing wasn’t really his thing until after high school.

Jerad told us that he was one of those kids who always sang along to the radio in the car. He picked up the guitar around 7 years old. He took up acting for most of his childhood, but spent countless hours with his ears full of radio and his eyes glued to MTV. He was addicted to studying pop music. Singing was his primary form of music making until Christmas of 2000 when he got his first electric guitar. He wrote his first riff/song, “Stuff” when he was 11 and played around until he moved to Omaha. At 13 he performed his first original song, “Chocolate Warfare”, at a local talent show and got hooked. He ditched acting and set his sights on music.

Ross Brown went to DeSoto high school for a year and home-schooled the rest. After that he took a two-year audio engineering course at BRC Audio Productions, where he met Jerad and everyone in his band Fullbloods.

Jerad Tomasino went to Bellevue West, in Bellevue, Nebraska for 2 years, then he attended Lee’s Summit West for 2 years. After high school Jerad started attending classes at BRC Audio Productions where he double majored in Music Ed. and Music Therapy at The Conservatory. He had a mental breakdown, changed majors and started EverydayEverynight. Jerad will graduate from the University of Missouri at Kansas City this year majoring in Music Composition with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

Jerad met Ross at BRC, and connected with Mat Shoare and Evan Ashby while in choir at The Conservatory at UMKC. Mat Shoare is also a founding member of Everyday/Everynight and a founding partner in Golden Sound Records.

14. The Empty Spaces – “Starting Over”
from: Low Noise / Golden Sound Records / 2011
[Debut EP from a KC based band formed from a studio band that recorded Mat Shoare’s solo album The Empty Spaces in 2010. The Empty Spaces are one of 26 bands chosen to represent KC at the MidCoast Takeover at SXSW in Austin, The Empty Spaces will be in concert Feb. 25th @ Riot Room w/ i hate you just kidding]

11:20

Why start a record label?

Ross Brown told us about how he and Jerad and Mat, wanted a platform for their own music and an organized body to support and encourage others to continue making music. Golden Sound Records keeps them involved in, and accountable to their craft.

Jerad told us about how music is always about more than yourself. Even the music that we personally create (as a necessity) must bounce off of other people to truly resonate. So, for Jerad, the idea of a label is an extension of his artistic output; fostering ideas and projects into realization. It makes him a stronger musician and more fulfilled person to touch and be touched by the records and artists he works with. On a logistical front, this label centralizes their efforts, and gives context to the art that is deemed as cool and lets Golden Sound Records present it in a specific way.
