They married in 1970, when he was 18.\n\nThey remain together, though their journey has not been smooth: after three Only Ones albums between ’78 and ’80, Perrett made just one further record, in 1996, before he emerged from four decades of heroin addiction and related illnesses in 2017 with the solo How The West Was Won LP, his career-arc suddenly, surprisingly rejuvenated.\n\nAddiction, however, has left both him and Zena with chronic lung disease. Perrett then compounded this when he caught COVID at a Fontaines DC after-show, spending two weeks in hospital where he also broke his hip after slipping in triage. https://tinyurl.com/2yymy6rf", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3415178, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3415178/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-10-20T16:14:02-07:00", "show": 61628, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61628/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3415169, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3415169/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-10-20T16:10:05-07:00", "show": 61628, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61628/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Wasted delay", "track_id": "559ff872-d784-4bd4-b1fd-2a445dcf61bf", "recording_id": "670fd1c2-0f43-4c36-b688-0e71bcd67486", "artist": "Mo Dotti", "artist_ids": [ "24d1fa8b-2fec-447e-87c6-8d76923fb665" ], "album": "Opaque", "release_id": "a8d5232f-7476-4dfd-9e89-c72b4ad7dfde", "release_group_id": "a7660c1d-ba15-46d1-9d3b-c07eaf91239f", "labels": [ "[no label]" ], "label_ids": [ "157afde4-4bf5-4039-8ad2-5a15acc85176" ], "release_date": "2024-09-20", "rotation_status": "Medium", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Los Angeles shoegaze quartet Mo Dotti take their name from Italian photographer and communist revolutionary Tina Modotti, whose life as an artist began when she moved to California and took up acting in the early 20th century.\n\nOn their debut LP, opaque, band’s songwriting often mirrors the composition of Modotti’s photography, contrasting crisp moments of jangle-pop clarity against billowing clouds of distortion. https://tinyurl.com/2xskd8tv | https://tinyurl.com/2kau2wzf", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3415165, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3415165/?format=api", "airdate": "2024-10-20T16:06:16-07:00", "show": 61628, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/61628/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Wish Me Away", "track_id": "2fb48cf0-639e-49aa-a446-ec2efba9baa4", "recording_id": "ad84f061-f81e-4f7d-9e91-669bfc0ca7b5", "artist": "GIFT", "artist_ids": [ "e538319d-a827-4bca-aefb-61f40ab74181" ], "album": "Illuminator", "release_id": "991fd571-e1e5-455c-8354-5ffc8b409299", "release_group_id": "32d82688-1433-42ce-87c9-d21ca880fddc", "labels": [ "Captured Tracks" ], "label_ids": [ "59d8469d-97cd-48a6-804f-0c942252182e" ], "release_date": "2024-08-23", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The year 2020 sure wasn’t the most ideal time to form a band, especially for a group of musicians who never played together before.
