Cara's Basement
Finally. A podcast that REALLY rocks. Eavesdrop on casual conversations with rock stars, actors, authors, comedians...any one who entertains. Your host is longtime Chicago radio personality Cara Carriveau.
I'm a huge fan of The Police, so chatting with Joe Sumner - Sting's son - was a bit freaky for me.  He's the lead singer of Fiction Plane, a fabulous band.  They opened up for the recent big Police reunion stadium tour.  I chatted with him in April while they were on the road with The Bravery.

You'll hear a song by Fiction Plane, "Two Sisters", at the end of this episode.

Take a good look at these guys.  They could very well be HUGE in a few years and you'll be able to say, "I remember hearing about them back in '08".  Tonight The Prom opened up for The Lovehammers a few months ago at The House Of Blues in Chicago.  I interviewed Tonight The Prom backstage after their electrifying opening set.  This is that conversation, unedited.  Enjoy!

At he end of this episode you will be treated to one of their songs, "There Is No Cure For Vanity"
