August 2018
Many
of us have an ambition to grow older with our sanity intact....doing
it gracefully is often the antithesis of what's expected of a rock
musician.
For
See Hear podcast episode 55, Bernie, Tim and Maurice invited Michael
Grodner onto the show for a conversation. Michael is the director of
2017 film, The Icarus Line Must Die. The story focuses around real
life musician Joe Cardamone. He was the lead singer and creative
force behind LA post-punk band, The Icarus Line. Joe is now at the
“ripe old age” of 37. He is still unsuccessfully trying to get
labels to listen to his band, but he's also dealing with a very
supportive yet concerned fiance' who needs him to earn some money for
them to put food on the table, band members quitting, spoiled rich
kids wasting his studio time, fatally ill friends.....oh, did I
mention there's a psychopath sending Joe anonymous death threats?
Another exciting day in the life of a rock musician!!!!
The
See Hear crew speak with Michael about the LA punk scene, working
with non-actors, the nature of success, the inspiration of Jim
Jarmusch, and laundromats. We're extremely grateful that Michael gave
so willingly of his time to speak about his work. We highly recommend
you search out The Icarus Line Must Die.
You
can stream The Icarus Line Must Die on iTunes and Amazon in the
US.....watch out for it in other places soon.
Huge
thanks to Mike White of The Projection Booth for the recommendation
and to Karen Oberman for arranging the interview.
