Justin and Calvin from Not Waving But Drowning (with Calvin also representing Last Flight Home) join the show as we celebrate the Surfside Presents: Bob-A-Rino’s Class of 2003 Reunion Show happening November 29th at Off Broadway in St. Louis. This episode dives deep into the early 2000s Farmington and St. Louis music scenes, the friendships that shaped them, and the full-circle moments that bring these musicians back together decades later.

We talk through the evolution of their bands, the recording of new material, and what it’s like revisiting the sound and energy they built in their youth. Justin and Calvin share stories about playing with iconic bands, memories of Bob’s legendary mixed-genre shows, and the magic of a small-town scene that punched far above its weight. From Rosner’s to the Park Hills Bowling Alley, from pre-internet tour networking to the tight-knit relationships that formed on the road, this episode captures an era that refuses to fade.

We explore Last Flight Home’s recent recording sessions, and their return to the stage. 

Justin reflects on the early days of struggling to book shows and eventually becoming one of the scene’s most effective promoters, proving how networking and hustle turned into lifelong relationships and opportunities. 

The conversation moves through memories of Papa Roach, Soulfly, and the chaotic but beautiful early-2000s scene that saw hardcore, emo, indie, punk, and metal bands all sharing the same stage. 

Finally, the guys officially announce the Bob-A-Rino’s Class of 2003 Reunion Show featuring:

• Last Flight Home
• Bi-Level
• Moon (from Goldfinger, Greek Fire)
• Enemy Airship
• A Symphony of Punches

This is more than a reunion show - it’s a celebration of a scene, a time, and a community that shaped many musical journies.
