In this episode we play an interview we recorded with Watsonville Mayor Pro-Tem Felipe Hernandez. He talks with us very candidly about the reason behind the Watsonville Food Truck Festival and how their community rallied around the food trucks after a couple councilmembers tried to ban them. He also expresses his confusion around the citizens of Salinas allowing the city council to dictate how they can have fun in their city. We also talk about the recent tragic domestic violence shooting that left two people dead in south Salinas. Finally, we talk about The Californian switching over to a 3 day print cycle and how that is going to affect how people get their news in Salinas.
In this episode we welcome back Monterey Electronic Pop band Lillie Lemon. We first had Lillie Lemon on the show last September when they brought some of their equipment and played live for us in the basement. This time they didn't bring any equipment but they did bring more new music from their upcoming LP (or is it EP?) which we play during the show. They are about to go on a national tour and we get the low-down about their plans.
In this episode one of our previous guests comes back on the show and this time they bring a friend from across the Atlantic. Paul "Firepower" Gray is an expert in cutting edge recovery techniques to help heal your body after workouts or just at the end of the day. He tells us an inspirational story of how he became a boxer after battling a life-threatening situation as a child. We also get to hear a great story that takes place in Paris and involves Steven Seagal repeatedly throwing Paul to the ground.
In this episode we welcome an addition to the Salinas Underground Family and it's a girl! Angelica joins us with much more education and a more worldly view. She will be helping us both in front of the mic and behinds the scenes so get used to her. This will be her introduction and will come one from time-to-time. You also get a 5 minute sample of what our brother-podcast Grab A Beer and Jacket is like when Electro joins us after a trip to the bathroom.
