Welcome back to the Caf\xe9 in Artichoke Music. I\u2019m Tom D\u2019Antoni. Sitting across from me is Pepe Raphael, a singer and dancer who may be best known for his Pepe and the Bottle Blondes ensemble.\nHe was a member of Pink Martini too. He\u2019s pretty much legendary around here and even moreso since he added a spectacular handlebar moustache.\nWhile keeping the Bottle Blondes always at the ready, his main project at the moment is a trio by the name of the Vegan Carnivores.\nYeah, I know. I don\u2019t know what it means either. We\u2019ll find out.\nWe\u2019ll get to the bottom of that and a lot more in the life of Pepe Raphael.
