We've got the scoop! First to record it, first to announce it. It's an incredible interview with Derek Smalls, former lead bass player formerly of the band formerly known as Spinal Tap. We have the official announcement! Spinal Tap, which had been together for over 40 years, officially has broken up. Derek is pursuing a solo career with the release of the first of 12 new songs - the first is: R.V.M. (Rear View Mirror). We also get an update on what has happened since the release of "Spinal Tap 2 - The End Continues", including the relationship between Derek and Elton John, the Glue Museum and how the band originally tranistioned from Pop to Heavy Metal. Plus we get to hear about the Saucy Jack musical, the soon to be released live performance at Stonehenge and why Derek, Nigel and David are no longer a band. Side note: Derek mentions a few musicians that have been previous guests on our podcast, including: Mark Bonilla, Kipp Lennon and a few more. Find those recordings in our archives.
