I’ve been a fan of Kevin’s music for a long time and it was great to catch up with him recently. We talked about his early days growing up in Louisiana, his early punk band, his move to Nashville, and also the musicians, including Keith Richards, Scotty Moore, Levon Helm, Webb Wilder and Irma Thomas who’ve performed his songs. Stay tuned for more music and great stories from a very gifted musical artist. An interview with Kevin Gordon

Peter Holmström and his family moved from Portland to the UK during his school years. After that, he attended college in New York. While living there, another native Portland guitarist, Courtney Taylor-Taylor, along with his band, crashed at Pete’s apartment after a gig. Upon returning to Portland, Pete learned that Courtney was no longer in that band. The two guitarists formed The Dandy Warhols, very popular in their hometown, soon after gained praise and recognition nationwide and before long, internationally. Peter, a great guitarist, bassist and keyboard player, has remained with The Dandy Warhols while venturing into various projects including his band Pete International Airport. It was great to catch up with Peter and hear his story and get a preview into the new Dandy Warhols album Pin Ups, a collection of cover songs by some of their favorite bands and artists including The Cure, Gang of Four, The Clash, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles. A very fun interview with Pete, a great and extremely talented musician.

Martin Belmont was about 11 or 12 years old, a kid growing up in England, when he asked his parents to buy him a guitar. The first record he got was “Jailhouse Rock” by Elvis Presley. Around that time, The Shadows, out of London, were a popular instrumental group. America had The Ventures, England had The Shadows. Young Martin was fascinated by the look and sound of Hank Marvin’s Fender Stratocaster. In art school, Martin made friends with other guitarists and musicians and after leaving school, he moved to London. Through a mutual friend, he met the members of two bands, Help Yourself and Brinsley Schwarz. The Brinsleys were in need of a roadie. Martin played that role for about a year before forming his own band, Ducks Deluxe. They signed with RCA, the label Martin’s childhood hero Elvis had been on. The next band he co-formed along with guitarist Brinsley Schwarz and keyboardist Bob Andrews was The Rumour, best known for backing Graham Parker with Andrew Bodnar on bass and Steve Goulding on drums. The rest, as they say, is history.
