We were joined by James Black, guitarist of the Canadian rock band Finger Eleven to talk about the band's evolution and success, James' solo album Moon Boot Cocoon and more. James filled us in on the story behind some of F11's biggest hits, performing on pop chart shows such as TRL, and a town called Chibougamau... Highlights:- We learn that James is all about music, movies & nerd culture- Chibougamau = best town name ever- Finger Eleven’s hit "One Thing" came about almost by accident- …and so did "Paralyzer"- We hear all about performing on pop shows like TRL and meeting Donald Trump- Marcio tells us about the (pretty violent) experience he and his wife have had at Finger Eleven shows- James talks about launching a solo project and his new album Moon Boot Cocoon- Marcio and James talk about performing together at Edgefest 2014- We all agree that the artwork for Moon Boot Cocoon is very cool Advice:- You have to be doing it in order for people to see you- You'll only get better by playing, writing as much as possible More:- View the full show notes at http://bridge-the-atlantic.com- Follow us on Twitter at @bridge_atlantic
