Morning Glory with Fern

Priya Sami stops by the 95bFM studio to talk about Bub, her Taite-nominated music project. Bub's debut album, Can't Even, is a finalist for Best Independent Debut. Priya tells Thursday Morning Glory host Emma Gleason how it feels to have songs she began writing as a teenager acknowledged for such a prestigious prize. They also discuss The Strokes, The Warriors and using music as a coping mechanism. Priya is playing at the Powerstation tonight with The Beths. You can buy Bub's album (irridescent purple vinyl!) on Bandcamp and at all good music stores now.
