26 BATS! – “Phoenix”
In this special episode of Back to the City: MPLS Music Conversation, 26 BATS! front-person Bailey Cogan and Simon Calder discuss the band’s “Cave Cuts” LP as well as new material which 26 BATS! will be perform at a Benefit for Lauren Smythe, feat. DJ Rowsheen, MC Mark Mallman, Tacky Annie and more, on the final Thursday of this month, 7/26. Our conversation is all about taking flight, resilience, and cycles of renewal, all fitting topics as we prepare to raise funds for our mutual friend, songwriter Lauren Smythe, who is contending with diseases including scleroderma, with which she was diagnosed at age 10, and fibromyalgia, with which she was just diagnosed.
