There are several topics, cosmic concerns and esoteric elements that spiritually surround the wild and wonderful world of the Sun City Girls. One in particular that comes to mind is the universally dense phenomenon of the UFO subject. Smitten by the legndary lore, the band has effortlessly explored and eagerly expressed their critical connection to one of the greatest mysteries known to man, which ultimately added to the band's visceral vision throughout their captivating career. On this episode of the "Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast," we're joined by Josh Moss, the man behind all things The Mordern Folk, to break down perhaps one of the most complicated conspiracies surrounding the Dulce Base that began to raise eyebrows in the late 1970s and into the 1980s. Giving Roswell a run for its money, the base supposedly rests under New Mexico's desert, where extraterrestrial excitement is the talk of the town, and a lucrative way to capitalize on the cryptic content. Moss takes the controls of the mother ship and sets out on a metaphysical mission that begins on Earth and ends up on the cold outskirts of the event horizon. Or the middle of nowhere, USA.

Episode 2 Scott Colburn :: “330,003 Crossdressers From Beyond The Rig Veda”
From the cold, calculated catacombs of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta since 2001, a spiritually sophisticated system of songs, esoteric emotions, and liberating legends lurks in its sinister shadows. It's a safe assumption that when you think of Seatlle in the 1990s, bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden come up, but what about the Arizona-based collective and institution of intensity, Sun City Girls? After relocating to the Emerald City, bringing along with them the adopted audio wizard Scott Colburn, the band began the next chapter of their sonic story by effortlessly diving into the ethereal ecosystem of the singing subconscious with one mission, and one mission only, to conjure the melodies of madness and murderous meditations of music. After meeting the band on their first tour with local legends JFA in 1984, Colburn not only became the group's biggest fan but a lifelong friend and brother as their irresistible influence and alchemical approach to art shattered the universe with unparalleled expression. Since 1993, Colburn has single-handedly documented every project the band produced, leading up to the untimely departure of drummer and spiritual scientist Charles Gocher Jr., who passed in February of 2007. From "Kaliflower" to "Jacks Creek," Colburn was there ready to capture the lysergical lightning in a biblical bottle at any cost. On this episode of "The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast," we sit down with Colburn to explore the band's 1996 masterpiece "330, 003 Crossdressers From The Rig Veda." A subliminal installment in the band's legendary landscape of sound and melodic madness, join us as we return to the epic ethers of the album's feverish fibers to unlock the meditative mysteries, techniques, and cosmic concepts of this truly groundbreaking body of work.

Episode 1 (Pt. 1) Jesse Srogoncik :: Paris 1942 / Destruction / The Alien Free Quintet
The short-lived, Phoenix, Arizona-based outfit, Paris 1942, consisted of the Bishop brothers, Alan and Rick, who had recently established the famed Sun City Girls, former drummer of the Velvet Underground, Moe Tucker, and Jesse Srogoncik. Together for a short four months in the early 1980s, the band took atmospheric advantage of the time given together by relentlessly recording their feverish findings until the desert moon faded, the spell lifted, and each member moved on to other respective avenues in their creative constellations. Srogoncik, a legend and sonic staple among Arizona's alchemical scene of poetic pranksters and music maniacs, tells his captivating story of the band's humble, yet biblical beginnings, befriending Tucker, several collaborations with the Sun City Girls, the essence of expression, and much more.

It’s hard to tell these days, but one thing is for certain: if something is worth doing, it’s worth going all the way.
