Salad Days

Episode #4 - Peter Elkas (Local Rabbits, solo)

Ep. 4

On this fourth episode of the podcast, Dave talks with Pete about his days playing G.I. Joes back on the West Island of Montreal. An early track from his own teenage self...wait, make that TWO early tracks...will blow you away with the musical skills on display at such a young age. We talk about the shenanigans of touring in a young band comprised of old high school friends, plus the risks of summer tires (in the winter).

They started by using their grandma's house as their rehearsal space and the rock just kept coming, eventually meeting the guys that would form the classic lineup of The Monoxides. So many great stories including recording with with Rick White, recording with Moe Berg, and always rocking every club (or stadium) like it was a full stadium!The Monoxides "Kicking ass since 1988!" - https://monoxides.ca/To learn more about Lemonade Dave, go to: http://www.lemonadedave.ca---Salads Days Theme by Overnight: https://gillismusicarchive.bandcamp.comLemonade Dave Jingle by Jeremy Kelly: https://www.instagram.com/jeremykellymusic---Send feedback to: dave@zunior.com

  • 15. Episode #15 - Best of 2023

    01:08:24
    On the fifteenth episode of the podcast, Dave teams up with Jane Gowan from the excellent Music Buddy podcast to create a look back on the past year of Salad Days. Dave asked Jane to collect her favourite stories from each artist, along with short introductions/impressions, to give context to all the great stories we heard from everyone from Carla and Lynette Gillis in Episode #1, all the way to Charlotte Cornfield in Episode #14. As a special bonus for this episode, we finish with a cover of the embryonic song from The Burning Hell. This is kinda my take on the concept of the 'Music Buddy Sessions' you hear at the end of each of Jane's podcasts and you will not want to miss it!Music Buddy - https://www.musicbuddy.ca/As always, selected releases are also available on Zunior at: http://www.zunior.comTo learn more about Lemonade Dave, go to: http://www.lemonadedave.ca---Salads Days Theme by Overnight: https://gillismusicarchive.bandcamp.comLemonade Dave Jingle by Peter Elkas: https://www.instagram.com/peterelkas---Send feedback to: dave@zunior.com

    On the fourteenth episode of the podcast, Dave talks to Charlotte about growing up studying everything from french horn to piano to steel pan to drums.
