10 Questions with ... Bruce Rave1. You often talk of your A&R days at Capitol Records. You spent 10 years at the label. Let's flashback to those years. What are you most proud of?
They say a guy never forgets his first so leading the label charge on The Knack signing was amazing and seeing the still ageless "My Sharona" become the year's #1 hit. The Weird Al signing didn't pan out too well on Capitol but look at him now! I didn't discover Duran Duran, Iron Maiden and Thomas Dolby in the UK but what an honor to have been their initial US A&R exec. There were The Motels and Missing Persons who did great for us. I was proud of The Church signing but they had their success later on Arista.
2. When did you first launch your Go Deep specialty show and give us the 411 on your weekly new music show?
I had an idea about 13 years ago of a nationally syndicated alternative show that featured less familiar, highly deserving new tracks from top artists in the format. That evolved into what I do now, which is my weekly up-tempo, accessible, indie-skewing new music show on three stations. There's also my "Rave's Indie Radar" new music podcast which is on hold along with the rest of that company. I look forward to it returning.
