This week’s guest is singer/songwriter/guitarist Laura Pleasants of Kylesa. I guess everyone is calling them a sludge metal outfit but she calls what they do rock n roll, you know what that is, right? Seems most people have forgotten, so good on her for bringing that back into focus. Anyway, this was a short but interesting conversation, primarily because I wanted to talk about her time at SCAD, but we went off into talking about Savannah, the town itself, and then it just went into all sorts of lightly social-political stuff. A bit more heavy than a typical “rock music” interview, but I like that in a brief conversation – better that than asking how she feels about the state of metal or some bullshit question like that, right?
Anyway, if you’re a die-hard fan you might be disappointed, but if you’re a fan of her, and women in general, you’ll dig what she has to say.
Oh, and…sorry townsfolk of Savannah, GA.
