Chatting with August Vegner with Last Electric Rodeo, a Post Apocalyptic, Spaghetti Western Surf Rock Band

By Anna Marie Bolet, Rock At Night Jacksonville, Florida

Interview with Last Electric Rodeo, Post-Apocalyptic, Spaghetti Western Surf Rock and so much more…

Rock At Night got the chance to catch up with August Vegner, Lyricist for the Mega Group, Last Electric Rodeo and talk about how this eclectic group got started and where they’re heading. Thrilled to catch their music on Spotify, it’s easy to get lost in their music. I almost feel as though I’m being cheated of something by only listening to their music, because, as it turns out, this work is meant to be experienced as a multi-dimensional Rock Opera that one is encouraged to participate in.

Paying homage to Sci Fi/ Fantasy while influenced by The Who’s ‘Tommy’, Quintin Tarantino and my own personal favorite, Ennio Morricone’s ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’, this uber-talented group of musicians as well as performers kick this genre up several notches to make it their own. Invoking Graphic Novel scenes while harmonizing and blending instruments, ‘Welcome to the Last Show on Earth’ echoes a cinematic quality that will make you want to see them perform live at the first chance you get. Quarantine has serendipitously forced this group to put the finishing touches on their new album, two years in the making, Retro Futurum.

Hi, I’m Anna Marie! I was born in Vero Beach and some time after that my family ended up in Miami. I grew up, moved away and went to college, where I grew up some more and learned about important stuff like student loans and what not to say during a corporate job interview. I’ve lived in lots of different cities (and countries), and began to realize that photos are more fun to collect than souvenirs.

So, I picked up a camera and started taking photos of everything and everyone and became the ‘annoying girl with the big camera’ when it came to vacations, birthdays and Christmas. Eventually, some of my images wound up on the walls of a few galleries too!

Now I take photos of musicians in their natural habitat and it feels like I’m on safari. I LOVE to take an image of someone when they are having the time of their lives!

Thanks for taking the time to read about me.

BIG LOVE
