Ep 110: Interview w/ DARREN HILL of RED ROCKERS ("It's In Our Blood")

Author: playthatpodcast May 29, 2026 Duration: 48:55
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with DARREN HILL the bassist of RED ROCKERS, about the band's new LIVE album, "IT'S IN OUR BLOOD". This live album (and concert film) comes from a special reunion show Red Rockers played in 2023, which was their first time playing together in nearly 40 years. In this conversation, we talk about how this reunion concert went and what it meant to Darren to play with his RED ROCKERS bandmates for the first time in nearly 40 years. We also discuss the band’s original run in the early ‘80s, which included touring with the Clash and scoring a hit on MTV. Darren also tells me about his work in artist management, as he has managed several legendary acts like The Replacements and Roky Erickson. Plus he even shares his memories of touring with Warren Zevon, with his other band the Raindogs.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force.
