Colossal is an American indie rock band from Elgin, Illinois, United States, who formed in 2001.

Their albums are Brave the Elements, Welcome the Problems, and a split with Owen.

Their lyrics and musicianship display a depth much like that found in math rock.

I got Pat on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

• Potentially partying with him in Chicago in 2000
• His band "Flowers"
• The Elgin Scene
• Working for Milk Magazine
• Brendan Kelly’s podcast
• Being on Asian Man Records
• The stories behind the artwork for the albums
• What attire one should not wear on stage
• And a ton more

Fun fact, this was recorded during the storming of the Capital back in January, so we start off referencing that.

Check out my new book The Couples' Checklist for my webcomic dailyBred. It's a great gift for Valentine's Day.

If you market aggressively on Instagram Stories and want custom stickers then go here to get custom stickers or just email [email protected] and I can send you samples. These are great for B2C companies and Realtors.
