Keeping it 99

We tried something new this episode, and recorded over TORCHE's soundcheck with our good friends Bobby Clark and Jesse Barrowcliff from Fully Consumed. These dudes are death metal masters, and are playing together again with Bastard Hooker Sept 29. in Akron at Annabell's with The Party and Waste of White. We talk about the show, and their history together as bandmates. Enjoy the grooves of TORCHE, and a sweet convo with some sweet dudes.

After living in a cave for half of the summer, Keeping it 99 is back for our favorite event of the year. This is the third Blackout Cookout we have covered, and the first time with the man behind the jams, Kenny Royer. Kenny is also in the band "goosed", and overall awesome dude. Sit back, and enjoy as we talk BOCO 9,  going to shows, food, and Redman. We also play songs from TORCHE and goosed for your ears to enjoy.

This episode we talk with our homie, tattoo artist, musician, shop owner, sweetheart, brother Rich Griggs about his new shop Blacktooth Tattoo Co., getting started in the ink business, being in a band with Eagle, Kid Rock, and the Friday the 13th Grand opening party with $31 tattoos, BBQ, and a metal show hosted by yours truly, starring The Party, Descendants of Trees, and Black The Sun! We play songs from those three bands in this episode, so we hope you like METAL!

This week we are blessed to have Walter Howell from Foul Spirits with us to talk about their upcoming show June 30 at The Outpost in Kent, and talk about his 25 years of playing in bands, and yes we bug him a lot about NDE. He shares stories about playing at Blossom, the history of V-Rock radio, current projects, evolving as a musician, and MORE. It was a great talk with a great guest.

Apologies to As I Lay I Dying fans for the words we speak on such an Awwwweeeesome band. The Slayer tour is a clinic for all metal musicians, and Keeping it 99 is putting on a show with Blacktooth Tattoo Co. at Annabell's with some of our favorite bands. We play 2 of those bands on this one. Prepare to argue, prepare to mosh with your earbuds in, it's KEEPING IT 99!!!!
