Episode #33 takes a tour of the musical projects of Minneapolis multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema that begins and ends with his playful gender-bending alter ego, Suzie . Other musical excursions along the way include Domino Records trio Night Moves , in addition to celebrated, yet now-defunct groups Mouthful of Bees and The Battle Royale .

Caught between a love for sleazy, riff-chugging glam bands and a fascination with Top 40 pop and R&B, Suzie is a wildly refreshing and charmingly weird new act that utilizes looping grooves, soft synths penetrated by bright angular beach guitars, and fuzzy falsetto vocals to create a sound that is familiar, warm & nostalgic like the blithe closing song of a grainy 80s film.
