Ey Foo You A Rocker?

Our special guest this week is none other than legendary Danny Lethal of infamous Los Angeles Art Gallery / Venue / Shop: Lethal Amounts! We discuss everything from his "foo origin story" in Glassel Park, which Misfits lineup he loves best, his fascination with GG Allen & The Cramps, and finally, we get real dark as he dives deep into an infamous party with a convicted murderer that nearly got him cancelled.  

In this episode we chat with La Puente's very own Viva Van: The first ever Viet-American Female Pro Wrestler, CEO of Hellbent Glam, and Death Metal Vocalist! We chat about being the designated driver in her group of friends, how she developed her metal wrestling persona, her hair metal phase, and going to shows at the Black Castle.

In this episode we chop it up with Azja and Ace of the black owned alternative shop Sinister Sisters about going into business with a friend, gatekeeping in Metal, their new "Hood Goth" line, and magic times at the Black Castle in South Central, LA.

In our Season 3 premiere we chat with Journalist and Punk Stephanie Mendez about Dino's chicken, punk rock politics, Kix cereal, Foucault's take on the panopticon, hitching rides off MySpace, and which punk scene is better: LA or the Oc's? 

This is it! Our Season 2 grand finale is the last episode of 2020 and there's lots of fun topics discussed as we look back at all the great guest and moments 12 episodes back.

In this one we discuss even more so songs that radicalized us and inform our political points of view. This felt especially relevant given the political climate of the US after the killing of George Floyd and too many black folk across the US.

In this episode we procure a playlist for the revolution, inspired by the LA punk band Vandalize who played live punk rock on the bed of a pickup through the streets of Downtown LA to keep protesters spirits up during the George Lloyd protests. We discuss several songs that were pivotal in our political understanding of the world we live in with our behind-the-scenes producer Eldrick Bone.

In this latest quarantine episode, we interview the legendary LA punk rock icon, John (Jean-Luc) of Headline Records! If you were a rocker foo growing up in LA, chances are you've visited his shop to look for band tees, patches, studs, vinyls and CDs. We talk about what drives him, how he defines the punk rock ethos, and why he says he's not a rocker, but rather "just a normal guy". 

In this episode, we have composer/producer/musician Carlos Cruz on the show! He's played with Power Trip, Fueled by Fire, Skeletal Remains, and Chris Poland of Megadeth to name a few acts. His main act Warbringer, just released a ferocious LP where you can hear Carlos bring the thunder on the drums. We talk about why Metallica > Megadeth, why Lars Ulrich wasn't the best drummer, and why when Power Trip comes a-knockin' for you yo play a show in front of 90,000 people you better answer!

In this episode, we have the distinct privilege of speaking with the galaxy’s grooviest creature: Tabby G.! Rockera, vegana, y extraterrestre de la linda Cuidad de Mexico. We talk about her crust punk days in Mexico City, smoking low-grade Panteon (Graveyard) Kush, the colorful and dangerous neighborhood of Tepito, as well as her becoming one of Mexico's first Suicide Girls! Last but not least, since this was our double “420” show (04/24/2020) we also get into her career in the marijuana industry. Spark one up and enjoy the trip!
