The Burning Nerve Ending Magic Podcast :: A Sun City Girls Story

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.
