Dungen Interview/feature Coming
Today I interviewed Gustav Estjes, leader of Swedish modern-psych group Dungen. I was turned onto these guys a few years back by my friend (and former bandmate in the Echoes of Tyme) Dave Vandergrift; I’ll always be grateful to DV for that one. Anyway, the feature will run in the August 12 issue of Mountain Xpress, and as always, I’ll post a post-embargo version two week later.
To whet your appetite, you might peruse my 2007 interview with Dungen’s guitarist, Reine Fiske.
If you’re in or near Asheville NC on August 18, I highly recommend you attend their show at the lovely, intimate Grey Eagle.

His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill's work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues -- more than 30 to date -- and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's final album. His first book, Reinventing Pink Floyd was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018, and in paperback in 2019.
