The Guest List
Thursday August 15th, 2024 with Joe Reilly
An interview with Chester Hansen the bassist with BadBadNotGood about the new album and the band's concert at the National Arts Centre on Thursday, August 15th.

Most of the show today is dedicated to the music of BadBadNotGood. The group is performing tonight (Thursday, August 15th) at the National Arts Centre in Southam Hall. We talk to Chester Hansen who plays bass with BadBadNotGood and since he grew up in Ottawa we talk about things like his education and attending Canterbury High School and what it's like coming back to town to perform on the NAC's biggest, most prestigious stage. We also talk about the many jazz influences on the members of the band, how much they enjoy collaborating and how Chester and drummer Alexander Sowinski have grown to be such a tight rhythm section. Here is a link to the video for Mid Spiral that we talked about during the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKd82uF4TD4 Here is where you can get tickets and information about the show at the NAC: https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/36480 And here are links to the BadBadNotGood website and Bandcamp site: https://badbadnotgood.com/ https://badbadnotgoodofficial.bandcamp.com/album/mid-spiral We also played a song by Hannah Vig.
