Radio Misterioso show

Summary: <a style="color: #ff4b33; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" rel="attachment wp-att-2832" href="http://radiomisterioso.com/2015/07/20/joe-berardi-percussionist/10805776_10205243351624416_4159705105756226404_n/"></a>Joe Berardi and I have been trying to set up this interview for a few years. The reason I wanted to have him on the show is that he has been the drummer on some of my favorite music ever since he was a member The <a href="https://youtu.be/cFL1LGMUqu0">Fibonaccis</a>, who were active in the 1980s in Los Angeles and remain my favorite band. Soon after that, he was working with former Wall Of Voodoo frontman <a href="https://youtu.be/K_68UU3cV7M">Stan Ridgway</a>. Along with vocalist/ musician Kira Vollman, he has also been half of the avant-garde duo <a href="http://www.noncredo.com/">Non Credo</a> for over 20 years, and finally, he holds down the percussive duties for the uncategorizable sonic party that is <a href="http://doublenaughtspycar.com/">Double Naught Spy Car</a>.<br> We talked music, influences, highs and lows throughout his career, and the time the Fibonaccis had a rain of gym socks thrown at them onstage. We forgot to play “Second Coming,” the Radio Misterioso favorite by the Fibs with lyrics about “swamp gas saucers,” so I added it at the end.<br>
