About this episode

Feddun interviews Thelma and the Sleaze about their music, influences, and new album.

On Overeducated and Underemployed, Feddun interviews Thelma and the Sleaze (with LG Hot Sauce and Tinkerbell) before their show at The Bark, discussing their love of black cats (including rescuing tour-kitten Pepper), early music influences (ZZ Top “La Grange,” Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival), and how they started playing and writing songs. They preview their new, heaviest power-trio record, Cowgirls From Heck, recorded as 11 songs in two days at Battle Tapes in Nashville, emphasizing live chemistry, anger about the state of the country, plus community action like Food Not Bombs. https://thelmaandthesleaze.com/ https:// www.instagram.com/thelmaandthesleaze/ https://stores.inksoft.com/TATS/shop/home https://www.facebook.com/thelmaandthesleazeofficial/ https://www.tixr.com/groups/pfunkfest/events/lets-take-it-to-tha-stage-p-funk-festival-2026-168844 Theme Song by Sloan Brothers : http://open.spotify.com/artist/1Z0YyvTetovciEDRoRNudB Title inspired by Lee Bains III: https://www.thegloryfires.com/ https://www.patreon.com/Feddun
