TMP #75 Chris Lee Rocks Hard

The Supagroup frontman has shared a stage with everyone from Alice Cooper and the Foo Fighters to Supersuckers and Whitesnake. Now he’s releasing his first solo record, “Protest Songs and Party Anthems.” After 15 years helming Supagroup with his brother Benji, Chris is no stranger to familial friction. Surely he can weather the storm between the Troubled Men in the Ring Room. Topics include a new nickname, a disagreement, a first band, hair-triggers, Alaskan roots, a diversity scholarship, a masters degree parting gift, a Chaz Fest set, recording “Live at the Mermaid”, the rise of a band, a fake manager, early touring, the Truck Farm recordings, the Saint, Sean Yseult, White Zombie, Rock City Morgue, a homecoming, the last Cramps tour, the Chinese nationalists, a Hong Kong orphan, a Chinese cholo, snake handlers, a solo record, the decline of rock, cancel culture, flood triage, Supagroup in Europe, propaganda, parental controls, and much more.
