Bass to Bass Podcast

On this episode of the Bass to Bass Podcast, I talked to Jon Graber of NOFX(Producer, Bassist, Legend) and Chris Graue of (Lou)ser (Musician, Video Director). I cannot explain how much I enjoyed this interview. This is some major insight into the industry. We learn how Chris got involved with NOFX, and how he brought Jon in. There's some stories about MXPX, Famous bands from Chris' High School, Goldfinger, Violent J and so many more. After this, I think that Jon & Chris should have their own podcast. It was such a blast.

On this episode of the Bass to Bass Podcast, I talked to RB Roe aka GET TUFF! RB lets us get into their experience discovering new pop music by trading mixed CDs with their friend. RB compares singing bass in barbershop/acapella style to learning how to play bass. RB shared how they joined the Weak Days and being in multiple bands during the pandemic. RB is such a great human being and I really appreciate this conversation. They are so down to earth and let us in on their thought process for writing bass, lyrics and more. Enjoy!
