In this episode, I sit down with Angelo, the vocalist of Tanya Markova, to talk about the band’s journey, their iconic makeup and costumes, and how their lineup has evolved over the years. We also dive into the departure of a former member and the controversy surrounding their Christian-themed songs.

Angelo opens up about fatherhood, cancel culture, and the incredible support from their fans. In the second half, we play a band bracket game, debating our favorite groups and dream collaborations. Angelo even shares his ultimate dream band lineup, including Rico Blanco and Ira Cruz.
