  • Scene Mom Says: F*ck The Demon: Interview with Fairy Bones
    Feb 20 2025

    Time: ~1 hour. Also, this show is EXPLICITY EXPLICIT!

    Episode 48! A special episode for you this week, I recently had an awesome chat with two friends and musicians, Chelsey and Daphne from Arizona band Fairy Bones. Not only was it great to catch up with them, I’m super excited about the re-mastered special release of their second album 0% Fun, which they are calling 0% Fun- WORSE. They are releasing it Sunday February 23rd, 6 years after the original release and show.

    We chat about the band’s beginnings, and then we talk about the album, the reasons why for re-releasing and also dive into a little marketing and promo chat. I’ll also sprinkle some songs from the album throughout, including a tune from Daphne’s band Daphne and the Glitches. AND you’ll hear this show’s theme song in its entirety- such a great track. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE- a sneak preview of a new remix of 8 Ball! I had a blast chatting with them, and I hope you have a blast listening!
