A blizzard that hit the northeast hard kept me from doing a live Revenge of the 80s Radio show on Friday, but it did allow me to run an encore of the show featuring our 2009 conversation with the multi-talented, elegant and brilliant Adriana Kaegi. She is best known as a co-founder of Kid Creole and the Coconuts (with August Darnell and Coati Mundi) and leader of The Coconuts. Currently, she is runs her own business, Dear Addy Productions, and is working on new music after releasing her first solo album, TAG. Our interview leads off the second hour of the show.

Adriana Kaegi is well known as a performer, choreographer, costume designer, producer and businesswoman. She has also produced the documentary Kid Creole and My Coconuts, which features behind-the-scenes video, concert footage and excellent narration by Kaegi. The next screening will take place on March 24th at the Phoenix Art Museum; our review of the DVD is here.

This interview was done on March 6, 2009 — shortly before the release of TAG, which remains a popular Reverb Nation download. A short while ago, Adriana released a new single, “Ive Been Going Out,” which premiered on Revenge of the 80s Radio. Our full story on Adriana from last year’s conversation is here.

During the first hour of the show, we played classic alternative tracks from artists including Strawberry Switchblade, The Alarm, R.E.M. and Mondo Rock.
