Interview With Veio

Cam and Kris of the Portland-based band Veio called in today for an interview

Earlier today I had a chance to talk with Cam Byrd (Vocals/guitar) and Kris Lewis (bass) of the Portland, Oregon-based band  Veio . The guys were featured earlier this fall on The Artist Spotlight and you can hear their single, "Flare Of Defiance" on The Buzz each Sunday from 10 AM-2 PM. 

Check out the interview below to learn more about the band, a brief discussion on the "Missed Connections" section of Craigslist and when to expect new music from the guys. 

 

You can also take a listen to "Flare Of Defiance" below. 


Nikki "Nikilicious" Montgomery

I'm a Central Wisconsin girl born and raised. I grew up in Port Edwards and participated in cheerleading, basketball, volleyball and softball as well as many clubs like National Honor Society, SADD, yearbook and forensics. I was a very busy high school student and still managed to get good enough grades to go to college at UW-Stevens Point where I was just as busy between working 3 jobs including executive staff positions at the campus alternative rock radio station and volunteering at the campus television station.

After graduation I thought I would take my BA in Mass Communications with emphasis in Broadcasting and Journalism and Minor in Political Science and become a big time reporter in some major city. But instead my internship with our news station here at Midwest Communications turned into a part-time job and opened the door to the morning show co-host position at WDEZ. After 9 1/4 years of fun in the mornings I was promoted to Assistant Brand Manager and moved to The Workday Getaway.

I couldn't deny my love for rock anymore! It was time dive head first into the genre I spent my formative years listening to day in and day out. When the opportunity arose for me to become the Brand Manager for Rock 94.7 and host the morning show I couldn't pass it up.

I'm so happy that I stayed in Central Wisconsin I couldn't imagine raising my three daughters anywhere else.
