The Crushed Monocle Podcast is a show where Jon and Coop talk about stuff. ALL the stuff! Music, movies, shows, life, or whatever. Naturally, they will mispronounce names, poke fun at themselves, and never fail to profess their love for the 1995 masterpiece, Showgirls. Doesn’t that excite you? Sure it does! This is why it’s essential that you subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 21 – Talking with Djunah!

Joining Jon and Coop is Donna Diane, one-half of the noise rock duo, Djunah.

Known for her aggressive performance style, Donna Diane has been a staple of Chicago’s noise-rock scene for quite a few years. First as the front-woman for Beat Drun Juel, then a brief solo project before starting Djunah. While most bands of the prog variety occupy space with complex instrumentation, Djunah is about filling that space with chaos and emotion. It’s also worth noting that Diane sings while playing guitar, and synth-bass all at the same time!

Ahead of the release of Djunah’s second full-length, Femina Furens, Jon, Coop, and Donna discuss a wide variety of topics such as:

  • Women throwing acid on wrongdoers in the most metal era of history.
  • P90s are superior guitar pickups.
  • Playing 3 instruments at once.
  • Even in 2023, men are still misogynistic knuckleheads.
  • Genre labels are a waste of time.
  • Why have a record label when you can do it all yourself?
  • Eating illuminated Jello balls is disgusting and will knock you up.
