• THE VAMPIRE LESTAT: One Night Only Concert & "Detroit" Reaction
    Jun 8 2026

    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.

    Is it fact or is it fiction? Who knows? Memory is a monster.

    This week, Bobbi, Kelli, and Kam revisit Season 2 Episode 3 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, “No Pain.” Armand tells the story of how Théâtre des Vampires came to be and his torrid love affair with Lestat while Claudia is officially inducted into the coven (with a major catch). Discussions include Armand’s recollection of his relationship with Lestat, Claudia and Louis getting their story straight with the coven, and Daniel continuing to dive deep into the information provided to him by the Talamasca.
