The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast :: A Sun City Girls Story
Podcast Description
The world doesn’t necessarily need another podcast, or maybe it does, who’s to say? It’s hard to tell these days, but one thing is for certain: if something is worth doing, it’s worth going all the way. An indescribably specific band and spiritual institution of sound comes to mind that not only deserves a poetic platform to be consistently celebrated but also acknowledged for its atmospheric alchemy, which continues to push the boundaries of music, art, and the cosmic nature of the world. Of course, I’m talking about the Phoenix/Seattle-based outfit Sun City Girls.
As an obsessed fanatic, it is my honour and deep privilege to announce that The Self Portrait Gospel will be launching a brand new podcast, “The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast - A Sun City Girls Story,” completely separate from our weekly show, that will be entirely dedicated to the harmonious history and liberating legacy of the band’s multi-decade run. Join us as we take a deep, dark, and dystopian dive into the esoteric environment and liberating landscape of perhaps one of the most frighteningly original groups to have shattered the subconscious since Sun Ra and John Coltrane walked the earth. From Tempe to Thailand, Seattle to Singapore, let’s take a trip around the world as we connect with the band’s critical community of cosmic collaborators, friends, engineers, and much more.

It’s bitter-sweet wrapping this two part episode up with the legend behind the Phoenix, Arizona-based label Placebo Records, Tony “Victor” Beram, but all good things must come to an end. Or do they? For this epic episode of “The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast,” we sit down with Beram to discuss the band’s last two cult classic LPs on the label, 1986’s “Grotto of Miracles,” and 1987’s “Horse Cock Phepner.” Two subliminal subjects in the band’s institution of indecipherable intelligence that poetically pushed the boundaries of bravery, humour, politics, and alchemical attitude, which have become some of thier most revered efforts to date, the power of the Sun City Girls only grew mightier as the times continued to unfold like a freakish flower.
Released during the crazy whirlwind of metaphysical mind control, cultural censorship, and contagious creativity, the Girls unleashed their next two sonic specimens like a pack of wild deranged dogs on a bunch of iridescent intruders looking for a biblical bone during the hallucinogenic height of the Cloaven Cassette series throughout the 1980s. Buckle up as Beram takes us on one last holy hoorah through the liberating landscape of one of the most fascinating groups to have ever existed. Do you disagree? No one asked…
