“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, I am excited to bring you Laura Davis-Chanin from the band The Student Teachers. They were a small band in New York City back in the late 1970s poised to go to bigger and better places with the help of none other than David Bowie. Here she tells of creating her band, riding with Blondie, and meeting the man himself, David Bowie. You can find The Student Teachers on Facebook here. You can pre-order her biography of Alan Vega, "Infinite Dreams" on Amazon here or on IndieBound here.
