About this episode

Matthew Caws, frontman of Nada Surf, shares memories of Michael Carlucci and discusses his influence on his life.

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week we have Matthew Caws on the show. He is, of course, the frontman and songwriter of Nada Surf. Since breaking out in the mid-’90s with “Popular,” the band has evolved far beyond its early alt-rock roots, building a decades-long career on thoughtful, melodic songwriting and a deeply loyal fanbase. Today, he shares his memories of Michael Carlucci of the band Winter Hours, who passed away in 2015, and talks about the lasting influence he’s had on his life.
