Couch Riffs

This episode features guitar amp builder Derek Springer of Rola Amps in Tacoma, WA. If you've seen a rock show in Seattle in the last 8 years or so there is a pretty good chance you've seen and heard a Union Jack or Rola Amp delivering the goods. They're owned and played by a literal who's who of Seattle rock musicians and they certainly seem to be finding a wider and wider audience.

Be sure to go check out https://www.rolaamps.com to see their amp line-up or Instagram @rolaamps

the Pearl Jam video Derek mentioned that his amps appear in (and a Satellite Amp back-lined here!) : https://youtu.be/qQXP6TDtW0w

This Episode of Couch Riffs Podcast we are SO happy to have our first woman and one of our favorites of all time: Kim Warnick of The Fastbacks. If you don't know Kim or The Fastbacks you're missing out. She's essentially the queen of Seattle punk rock and played bass and sang in Fastbacks from 1979-2001 before joining the amazing Visqueen along with another incredible woman musician, Rachel Flotard. Collectively Visqueen may have been the most well-loved band musically and personally in Seattle history.

Kim is one of the most fun and funniest humans I've ever known and I hope you enjoy this Couch Riffs Podcast episode.
