209B. SNEAK PEEK OF SKIP SPENCE PART 2: GRAPE DAZE WITH MOBY GRAPE BIOGRAPHER CAM COBB (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 4)

Episode 4 of our Grape Expectations Series features Moby Grape & Skip Spence biographer Cam Cobb talking about Skip’s rollercoaster ride through those early days of Moby Grape, a tale which includes disastrous tours, lawsuits, police busts, horribly nefarious managers, a fake touring version of the band, mysterious black magic witches, drug-induced madness, insane asylums, and attempted murder with an axe. And, no joke—that’s just within the band’s first two years.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Cam discusses with Discograffiti in Part 2 of our discussion:

  • A step-by-step reconstruction of the hunt for talent that wound up pulling together the original band;
  • The manifold ways in which Matthew Katz failed them as a manager;
  • How The Summer of Love ironically wound up beating this great band down;
  • A discussion about why Skip’s songs of biblical reckoning took a sharp left into novelty-adjacent Weird Al territory!
  • *** This episode includes a cameo appearance by the great JERRY MILLER, who talks with Cam about the band’s early days as they began to gel as a unit!
