Go Bang!

This week on Just Start the Tape, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam recount their experience at THE VAMPIRE LESTAT: One Night Only concert in NYC and react to Season 3 Episode 1 of THE VAMPIRE LESTAT, Detroit. Lestat is now our narrator, retroactively recounting the events of his tour and the documentary that Daniel is now making about him in a collection of albums called The Failures. In this episode, we begin our journey with The Vampire Lestat and his band on tour, making a pitstop in Detroit, MI. In this episode, we see how Lestat's band was formed, we learn about regional vampires, and meet a very *interesting* person in Lestat's life.
