Going from music production, to Esports, to live sound!

In this week's episode, we have Suzanna who is the lead tech at Brighton Venue Daltons, and we have a chat about:

 

• Growing up somewhere rural, but still finding a community of music makers
• Learning about music production
• Getting into ESports as a career
• Then pivoting into live music / sound engineering
• And how having ADHD shouldn't be a barrier to any of this!
• + more!

If you are interested in live music, music production, or esports/ streaming - there is something for you in this episode!

Special Friend - French/American indie-noise-pop duo based in Paris. Formed in 2018 by Erica Ashleson (drums, vocals) and Guillaume Siracusa (guitar, vocals), after having met at a concert in Paris.

 

At the time, Erica was learning to play drums and Guillaume accompanied on guitar and the two friends made their first compositions within just 4 months.

 

In 2019, they released a self-titled EP recorded in their rehearsal studio in two days, unveiling a singular sound of minimalistic indie-noise-pop, recalling the likes of Yo La Tengo, Duster, and Electrelane.

 

A first album Ennemi Commun released in 2021, was positively received, allowing the band to tour and play at the prominent festivals La Route du Rock, La Cathédrale - Binic, and the Paris Pop Fest 2022 edition.

 

The duo spent most of 2022 composing and recording their next album, Wait until the flames come rushing in which was released June 30th 2023 on Skep Wax (UK), Howlin Banana Records (FR), and Hidden Bay Records (FR).

Their metamorphic brand of alternative rock is also enchanted with vaudeville, post-punk, psychedelia and gothic rock. Since forming after the pandemic, they released two albums, receiving glowing reviews from CLASH, Wonderland, and Loud & Quiet, and airplay on BBC Radio 6. Subsequently, 'Nunhead' was remixed by the bassist of legendary goth group Bauhaus. They also supported the Libertines, Goat Girl and Fat Dog. After its release, their second record 'White Bardo' amassed 70k in organic streams as well as 18k+ views on ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ music video. The band showcased at Rotterdam's Left of the Dial last autumn. So far in 2025 they have supported Pete Doherty, performed at New York City's New Colossus Festival & completed 3 UK tours all over the country and multiple festivals including Bestival in August. They just recorded their third album with Balazs Altsach (Ugly, The Orchestra For Now) at KONK Studios & The Church.
