  • Episode 81 - Greg Daly

    In this episode we get into it with Napalm Death/Propagandhi/TO MANY BANDS TO NAME tour manager Greg Daly. These next episodes are ALL about the folks who make the back end of the music scene go. So many people only see the bands and I want to show and give props to these people behind the scenes who make this machine go.


    We get into Greg's life growing up and how he discovered music and what took him down the road of tour managing bands. We talk about some of the responsibilities of tour managers and what is expected of them.... it may shock you. We also just shoot the shit about nothing and everything we can both think of.

    As always all our love to the beautiful people in THE SORELS for providing us the intro music. They have a new EP out and you should really own it! Just click the name and it will take ya right to em! Also thank you to THE WPG for bringing us into their podcasting family.

  • Episode - 79 Josh Goldman (Rad GF Records)

    This is a great conversation with one of the owners of Rad GF Records Josh Goldman. I kind of just stumbled on Rad GF Records and went down the rat hole and loved what I heard. They have released some well known veteran punk rock bands like The Queers, Masked Intruder and many others. As well as the veterans they keep releasing kick ass music from other really great bands as well. It was great to learn more about how the label came to be, as well as learning how Josh's own band The Raging Nathans came into existence and what keeps them going.


    This is the first of a few episodes where I talk to folks who work behind the scenes in the music industry. Im really excited for y'all to hear these conversations and learn more about what it takes to make the machine go.

    As always THANK YOU to The Sorels for providing the opening music for the show.

    As well as THE WPG for the continued support. We couldn't be more excited to be part of their podcast community.

  • Episode 77 - Baz The Frenchman

    In this episode I talk to Baz. If you haven't heard of BAZ thats cool. Thats why we are all here right? Baz is a french composer, arranger and drummer. Not sure why he is french has to do with anything but it might explain the accent right? Well Baz's accomplishments include arranging a FULL ORCHESTRA for the NOFX live at the red rocks record. Thats no small feat. We get into that and so much more in this episode. Baz is also the third and final single episode before we get into a FULL LA BRATS podcast.
