Mini Mansions frontman Michael Shuman talks with Kyle Meredith about the band’s latest offering, Guy Walks Into A Bar, and how it was “written and recorded in real time with all of the highs and lows of a relationship,” how that effected the writing, and stories behind a few of the songs. We also hear about how one of those songs, “Hey Lover,” features Alison Mosshart in a dark duet, tapping Queens of the Stone Age bandmate Jon Theodore to play drums, and the time they backed up the band Sparks.
