S5E231 - The Police 'Ghost In The Machine' with Russell Mofsky

This week’s guest, guitarist Russell Mofsky, is a bit of a musical enigma. Co-founder of beloved South Florida punk band Quit and leader/creator of Surf/Lounge/Noir combo Gold Dust Lounge, Russel is a music-school geek who thinks like a poet. It’s only fitting they he chose to discuss the dark, foreboding debut release by Canadian post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor, “F#A#∞” We do our best to dig into this expansive “soundtrack to the apocalypse”, and the episode ends with an improvised in-studio jam with Russell and our own Barry Stock. “The car’s on fire and there’s no driver at the wheel…”

S3E120 - Godspeed You! Black Emperor "F♯ A♯ ∞" w/Russell Mofsky

My interview guest for May 2020 is song writer and guitarist, Russell Mofsky. In my interview with Russ, we talk about his early life, growing up in Miami, musical influences, skateboarding, and of course one of Florida's greatest punk bands to ever do it.... Quit! Russ takes us through the history of Quit, followed by his relocation to Boston, and eventually ending up back in South Florida. Russ shares his musical journey into jazz, surf, and exotica music, all which plays a pivotal role in his current project, Gold Dust Lounge.Many cities and towns across the U.S. have their seminal bands that were trailblazers in their respective music scene. Miami's Quit was exactly that... pioneers of a pop-punk sound that influenced countless other bands throughout South Florida. It was wonderful chatting with Russ and a real honor to interview one of the key players of a band so many fans admire and love.
