Author: Markly Morrison April 1, 2021 Duration: 1:00:28
Hey Low Profile listeners, this is Markly with a surprise bonus episode!This episode's featured guests are influenced by people like Jesus, Gandhi, God and Buddha. About a year ago, I got to have a conversation with two living members of one of the most influential bands of all time. Then my computer completely died, and I lost the entire interview! I was crushed. But to my amazement, earlier this week, I received a package from Ulan Bator, Mongolia containing a cassette tape of our conversation! My voice is coming out of their speakerphone, so sorry in advance about the quality of my voice, but I didn’t talk too much because I wanted to hear the stories about how acts like Metallica, Queen, LAKE, Weezer, Guns and Roses, Coldplay, Lemmy Chavitz, and even Bob Marley and the Wailers all became household names thanks to the musical ques they took from a band that needs no introduction: The Wurst Nightmare.***This episode contains some strong material and expletives, be advised***If you like Low Profile, please subscribe, rate and review, tell a friend, blah blah blah.If you LOVE Low Profile, throw us a bone at patreon.com/lowprofileLow Profile receives in-kind support from San Francisco Street Bakery in Olympia, WA.The views expressed on this episode do not necessarily reflect the views of Low Profile or its affiliates. This podcast will self-destruct.

There’s a whole world of essential music made by people who never became household names. Low Profile with Markly Morrison seeks out those artists, producers, and behind-the-scenes figures, blending their stories with the music they created. Host Markly Morrison, an audio journalist and musician based in Olympia, Washington, approaches these conversations as oral history-less about fame and more about the craft, the context, and the often overlooked contributions that shaped sounds we love. You’ll hear intimate, detailed interviews that pull back the curtain on influential work, paired with the tracks that define these careers. The show originates as a radio program on KAOS 89.3 FM but finds its enduring home as a podcast distributed by Ruinous Media, allowing these deep-dive stories to be savored anytime. Each episode is a chance to discover not just new music, but the rich human experiences behind it, focusing on the genuine artistry that exists far from the glare of the mainstream spotlight. This podcast is for anyone who believes the most compelling stories in music are often the ones you haven’t heard yet.
