The Rumors are True Podcast

Hot Pink Turtle (R.E.X. Records)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Rumors Are True podcast, we’re joined by the members of Hot Pink Turtle—Jamin Rathbun, Dion Tyler, Dave Mora, and Jay Cleem—for a rare and engaging conversation about their time as one of the most offbeat and genre-defying bands on the R.E.X. Records roster. Known for blending elements of jazz, funk, alternative rock, and quirky experimentation, Hot Pink Turtle created music that was wildly ahead of its time and stood out in a scene largely dominated by heavier or more straightforward styles.

The band reflects on their origins, the creative energy behind their only full-length release Ticklewigglejigglepickle, and how they balanced humor, musicianship, and message in a scene that often took itself seriously. They share stories from touring, the challenges of being so sonically different, and what each member has been up to since the band’s brief but impactful run. This episode offers deep insight, laughs, and a true appreciation for a band that embraced weirdness and carved a lasting cult following in the process.
