GRRL013: Musical collectives and learning from side projects, featuring Ali Coyle of Strangers Inc

Author: June Owatari March 15, 2016 Duration: 0:00
Ali Coyle is a Los Angeles and Orange County based musician who has played in countless bands including Sullen Ray--who you'll recognize as our intro song, and her old main project This Time With Feeling. Currently, she plays in NOBLES and Glasz, but her main project is Strangers Inc, which she does with her writing and production partner Javan Slagle. Ali joined me on Skype from Los Angeles, while we weathered the crazy storm that overtook southern California this past winter. We talk a lot about her current project Strangers Inc and why she's excited about going in a new direction musically, the music scene in Orange County compared to Los Angeles and San Diego--and sorry, I can't help shit talking LA some more, but I like being proven wrong as well-- and music collectives and collaborations.

Hosted by June Owatari, Grrl on Grrl sits at the vibrant crossroads of music, identity, and community. This isn't just another interview format; it's a space built on intersectional and trans-inclusive feminist principles, where the conversation flows as freely as the songs. Each episode features a musician from any genre you can imagine, turning the spotlight not only on their art but on the unique experiences that shape it. You'll hear about the songwriting process, the realities of the industry, and the personal stories that rarely make it into a standard press bio. The heart of the podcast, though, might be in the curated playlists. Every guest brings their own soundtrack, sharing the tunes that move them, which means every episode is packed with both profound insight and a fantastic, personally-selected soundtrack. It’s about pulling back the curtain on creativity while celebrating the diverse voices within music communities. Tune in for genuine dialogue, a deeper understanding of the artists behind the work, and a consistently refreshing mix of tracks you might not have found on your own.
