Blynd Submyshynz Episode 41: Sarah and Mario from Spotlights

This week we sat down with Sarah and Mario from Spotlights, a band that is absolutely blowing up. From catching the ear of Aaron Harris and Chino Moreno with their demo, to getting signed by Ipecac and opening for one of the legendary Mr. Bungle shows at the beginning of 2020, they really are living Jeff's best life, and his envy was out for all to see! We talked about moving to Eugene, the Bay Area, San Diego, Brooklyn, and now Pittsburg...touring with Deftones and Melvins, their love for their friend HUM drummer Bryan St. Pere who just passed away, and losing a tour with Faith No More because of the pandemic. Sarah talked about how Mike Patton told them backstage that he loves their music, and can't figure out exactly why, which is why he loves it. Circular? Definitely. Welcome to the mind of Mike Patton. They have a streamed concert coming up, recorded at St. Vitus in Brooklyn (with past guests Somnuri playing as well). We also listened to a bunch of music, and there were some gems!
