Here is the 17th installment of the Dreams of Consciousness podcast, featuring an interview I did with Nenett of XRDM and "Djent" Jia of Naratu and Perimeter Breach. I conducted the interview at the end of 2014 while Chaos in Rumah Api 2 was going on, but the idea for this podcast has been germinating since I saw Exkoriator at my very first visit to Rumah Api. Since then I've seen more female-fronted bands, both local and foreign, in that space than anywhere else I've lived. It seemed like a subject worth its own episode even if some of these bands have appeared on the podcast multiple times before. [Coincidentally, an issue of Shock & Awe with the exact same theme came out the same week-end as our interview...what are you going to do?]
My thanks again to "Djent" and Nenett for taking the time to talk to me.
