Her Head’s on Fire band members Jeff Dean (Guitars) and Rodrigo Palma (Bass) join me for veggie tacos at TBK Grill in Skokie.

We talk about the differences between recording the new album, “Strange Desires” (out 5/17), and the previous release (College Rock & Clove Cigarettes).

We also cover topics like the creative process, royalty in tacos, how to handle band personnel when more than one member share the same name and why all musicians in Chicago will end up in one of two camps.

Car Con Carne (a Q101 podcast) is presented by Alex Ross Art. Visit Alex Ross on YouTube (@TheAlexRossArt) to keep up to date with one of the comics industry's most important and celebrated creators.

The summer season at Ravinia kicks off next month… and there’s no place more comfortable to see outdoor shows.  I’ll see you in Highland Park next month for Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (6/12). JD McPherson’s opening that one. And then, I can’t even believe this is a thing… Violent Femmes are set to do an album play of their debut album with the Chicago Philharmonic. It’s been hard for me to imagine stripped down songs like Gone Daddy Gone and Add It Up done with a classical collaboration. Get tickets and see the full schedule at ravinia.org.
