In this episode of the ZHZ Podcast, Rex joins hosts Zak Davis and Matt Allen to share the real story behind First Light, directing music videos on a shoestring budget, and why simplicity behind the drum kit is harder than playing fast. We dive into what actually happens inside a touring band: handling the grueling travel routine, playing Red Rocks, balancing genre evolution between Cleveland rock and beach-ready reggae funk, and the practical networking advice that every independent artist needs to hear. Rex explains why bands should send unpolished demos with open verses rather than finished tracks when pitching features, how First Light became Tropidelics most intentional album yet, and the behind-the-scenes moments that keep touring fun. Whether you are an independent musician, producer, drummer, or creator trying to build a career and keep your sanity, this conversation delivers honest advice and real road stories from one of the hardest-working bands in the scene.

Mark Miller shares how he began putting out music in his mid-fifties, working with affordable gear, learning Logic, and finding a creative path that fits his life. This Artist Interview is for independent musicians, late-starting songwriters, home-recording artists, and anyone wondering whether it is too late to begin creating again. Mark Miller is a songwriter and independent artist from St. Louis, Missouri. After writing songs since childhood and recording ideas on four-track machines, he started releasing his music later in life instead of waiting for the perfect time or a traditional music career. Mark talks with Zak and Matt about bedroom recording, Logic, GarageBand, Cakewalk, mixing in different listening environments, writing songs across decades, and keeping a little roughness and humanity in the final production. He also explains why he prefers making music for fun rather than touring or chasing streaming numbers. The conversation also covers Marks latest release, The Girl Who Says No, his upcoming song Nobody, his love of Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, the Descendents, Bob Dylan, and Dave Brubeck, plus his DIY projectsincluding a foot controller, a Raspberry Pi synth, and cigar-box guitars. This is a relaxed conversation about authenticity, creative confidence, independent music, and learning by doing. Marks story is a reminder that you are never too old to return to an old passion or make something new.

We smash the starving artist stereotype and explain why self-confidence in music isnt narcissistic. Is believing in your art a sign of a massive ego, or is it just survival? In this Rapid Fire 7 episode of The ZHZ Podcast, Zak Davis and Matt Allen (Z Frequency) sit down with Ariel Vizzini to dismantle the narcissistic starving artist stereotype. Ariel breaks down the thin line between being a crazy cat lady and a confident creator, offering a raw look at how she balances a demanding 50-hour work week with high-level songwriting and production. We dive deep into the internal battle between self-criticism and the confidence required to call yourself an artist. From stacking three-octave harmonies to the hilarious story of Zaks bold encounter with Fishbones Angelo Moore, this episode covers the vulnerability and the grit it takes to move your art from a hobby to a way of life. Inside this Rapid Fire 7: - The Narcissism Myth: Smashing the idea that wanting to be heard makes you a narcissist. - The Inner Critic: Why the Theater Director is the one giving Ariel notes in the studio. - Creative Burnout: How cats (and not music) actually refill Ariels creative battery. - The Worst Day Outfit: Dressing dark themes in glitter. - Honest Feedback: The struggle of sending demos to family and the Disclaimers we all use. - The Mystery of Chocolate Roads: Zak and Ariel try to solve a misheard lyric mystery.
