Episode 4: Scrabbel

In this episode we are back to our standard format with a feature show on Scrabbel. We talk with their frontman, Dan Lee, at his home here in San Francisco. Before we recorded this interview we were very fortunate to record Dan playing a few songs solo on his guitar, which you will get to hear.
Scrabbel will be playing at this years Noise Pop Music Festival at Bimbo’s with Rogue Wave (San Francisco), Aqueduct (Seattle, Washington), and The Octopus Project (Austin, Texas) on March 30th at 7:30pm.
