I love Doll Skin (Sydney Dolezal, Alex Snowden, Nicole Rich, Meghan Herring). They have great music, hooks, harmonies and swagger. It was a pleasure meeting them in Crest Hill before their Bada Brew gig in mid-May. We covered a lot in a short time, including:

• Trying to appease the vegetarians in the band. How was I to know one was allergic to avocado?
• Eating on the road: It sucks.
• Not-so-lady-like burping on the microphone.
• My delay in punching up details on Facebook for the live stream. It’s an age thing. Clearly.
• How they started, and how they were taken under David Ellefson’s wing. No big deal there… he’s only in MEGADETH.
• Ellefson’s advice? “Always say yes”
• Why is Dave Mustaine scary?
• My sad confession: “I’ve never worried about the guys in Megadeth listening to this.”
• The new (and anticipated) Doll Skin album “Manic Pixie Dream Girl.”
• The Social Media Message of the Week gets to the bottom of why Car Con Carne doesn’t go to the suburbs as often.
