163. Pete Sjostedt - Ape Hangers, Muck and The Mires

Pete Sjostedt and his band Ape Hangers got the elusive major label deal and even landed a song in the film "Empire Records", which has become somewhat of a cult classic, but the band still fell through the major label cracks. Pete's career has however rebounded nicely as the lead guitarist of Garage Rock heroes Muck And The Mires. We talk about all that plus his interesting and at times challenging childhood.
