Listen "White Lotus Actor Michael Imperioli on Lou Reed, Buddhism, and Antiquity"
Episode Synopsis
Michael Imperioli, the actor known for his roles in The Sopranos and The White Lotus, is also the guitarist of a three-piece indie band called Zopa. Their latest album, Diamond Vehicle, came out in early 2025. KEXP’s Martin Douglas spoke with Imperioli about how he started playing music, the influence of Buddhism in his songwriting, and his fondness of The Beatles, Lou Reed, and The Smiths. “When you play with people for a long time, hopefully something gels,” Imperioli says of Zopa’s music. “It took a while to get there, but I’m happy with how it came out.” Support the show: kexp.org/deeper photo by Kayla RoccaSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
