Mon, 15 Jun 2020 20:22:44 +0000

LaLumiNation, with hosts Jimi LaLumia and Susan Faber Gaide, delves into the lesser-known facts about music business history and pop culture, with an occasional infusion of current events as told through the lens of music. In this debut episode of LaLumination, Jimi LaLumia (of Jimi LaLumia & The Psychotic Frogs) talks about the early New York City punk scene, where clubs like Max's Kansas City were a nightly hangout for "anyone who wanted to be anyone" in the music industry and the industry's evolution through decades of change and digital transformation.
