One of the first local punk bands I ever got into, back in the ‘90s, was Guy Smiley – and I never really stopped listening to them ever since. This episode is an interview with [Guy Smiley](http://epitaph.com/artists/guy-smiley/bio) frontman [Derek Kun](http://soundcloud.com/user-972004597-129956681), who went on to front Burnthe8track and is currently working on new material of his own. …and Derek has lots of stories from his heavy-touring career. Don’t be surprised if I have him on the podcast for a part two!

Singer-songwriter [Chris Micheal](http://www.facebook.com/chrismichealmusic) may be new to country music, but he's definitely not new to the Winnipeg music scene. Chris has spent years fronting rockers [Jekyll & the Hydes](http://www.facebook.com/JekyllandtheHydes/), and is now splitting his time between that band and his new, solo country project. We talk about being authentic to his own sound, and how he’s going to be that 80-year-old still performing at the bar whether anyone is showing up to listen or not! This episode brought to you by our pals at [The Park Theatre](http://myparktheatre.com/)! A HUGE thanks goes out to everyone who has [supported the fundraiser](http://www.gofundme.com/witchpolice-radio-improvement-fund). I’ve been raising $ to upgrade to better-quality recording gear, and the response has been phenomenal. Your support is greatly appreciated! ...
New band alert! Mannon and Nick of brand spankin’ new country project [Show Pony](http://showpony1.bandcamp.com/releases) are on the podcast! We talked about the appeal of country music for a (super?)group of musicians better-known for heavier sounds, about writing songs with feeling, their first recording, and much more! This episode brought to you by [Devine Shirt Company](http://devineshirtcompany.ca/) and [Black-Eyed SUZIE](http://black-eyedsuzie.com/). Huge thanks to everyone who supports the podcast on [Patreon](http://www.patreon.com/witchpolice), including the latest supporter, Rob Knaggs.
