Ahead of their first show in over a decade at First Avenue on Friday night, Minneapolis quintet Run Westy Run stopped by The Current studios to chat with host Mary Lucia.
Listen to the interview to hear Terry, Tommy, Kirk and Craig talk about why they chose to reunite now, what it was like having R.E.M.'s Pete Buck produce two records—Green Cat Island (1990) and David's Drum (1995)—what made Kirk pick up the Iggy and the Stooges' Lust for Life in a used record shop and why they're okay with identifying with the biker rock genre.
