Side Projects: Band Of Susans (w/Robert Poss & Karen Haglof)

Performance Anxiety

The Side Projects series of this podcast gives me a lot of latitude regarding subject matter. Occasionally, I like to go down a rabbit hole on a specific band. But I think this is the first time I’ve been able to do that with band members, themselves. Please welcome Robert Poss and Karen Haglof of Band Of Susans. They’ve both been on the podcast. In fact they were very early episodes and we were past due for a catch up session. Both Robert and Karen have new albums out so it seemed like the perfect time to do a deep dive into Band Of Susans and talk about their new music, at the same time. We actually ended up doing it the other way around.

Band Of Susans is one of the bands I can point to and say “They changed the music I listen to” without being hyperbolic. And it all stemmed from an album cover with my favorite car on it.

Karen left the band after the Love Agenda album and went on to do a few minor things, like medical school, oncology, you know…not music stuff. Robert has kept his feet firmly in the business by doing all kinds of unique projects, including solo albums.

As I mentioned, they both have new releases this year; Drones, Songs, & Fairy Dust by Robert and One Hand Up by Karen. Look them up wherever you get music. Both albums really touch on so many different styles of music. Get them both and you’ll definitely find something for you in there. Follow them both on social media; just look up their names, they’re easy to find. Look us up @PerformanceAnx on socials and grab our merch at performanceanx.threadless.com.
