Ted Stryker welcomes the smart and talented frontwoman Lydia Night from The Regrettes to the Tuna on Toast Studio. Please keep in mind, this podcast was recorded/filmed way back early November!  The episode starts with Stryker telling Lydia how much he still appreciates the birthday call from Lydia back in 2019.   They discuss writing the new songs and how emotional it was because of how honest and authentic the lyrics are. Lydia talks about writing over zoom and going with the band to Joshua Tree to write and record!  The band ended up writing ten songs in ten days!  Lydia tells Stryker about writing and recording the song "Monday" as well as chatting about Olivia Rodrigo making an appearance in the video.  Lydia talks about how the current lineup of The Regrettes met and came to be.  The Regrettes are a four piece consisting of Lydia, Genessa Gariano, Brooke Dickson and Drew Thomsen.  Lydia tells Stryker about a band she was in at a very young age called Pretty Little Demons, they played the South by Southwest Music Festival.  This was a really good band that wrote songs and toured, Lydia was only 12 years old!  Lydia talks about opening for Peaches as well!  Stryker and Lydia discuss another band she was in called Dead Man's Bones that Ryan Gosling was a part of as well as Zach Shields.  Lydia talks about the new album Further Joy (which is not released as of today!) and what those two words mean to her. Lydia is open and honest about anxiety, depression and mental health. Lydia talks Coachella 2022 as well as touring! Make sure to catch The Regrettes on tour and support this amazing group. Thank you as always for watching and listening to another episode of Tuna on Toast with Stryker.
