LOOK WHO IS COMING FOR DINNER!

Hi there,

This is not really an episode but just a quick chat to explain what happened in June and what is going to happen over the next few months! Exciting news for me is that I have been asked to go on tour with Pub Choir and if you live in a capital city in either Australia or New Zealand, come to a show and say hi! I'll be standing behind the sound desk wondering what all the coloured buttons do 😅

Link is here: https://www.pubchoir.com.au

and it is heaps of fun. Hope to see you on the road! (and record a few episodes from the road too!)

cheers,

Bob

Ep. 52 of the LWICFD! podcast features wildlife veterinarian, analog film photographer, podcaster and author Dr. César Puechmarin 💥📷 🦅

I first heard about César during my interview with Luke Henery (ep. 43 - check it out!) where Luke told me about César's awesome "Death by Birding" Podcast (check it out too! It's rad, as is his other podcast "Every Animal Ever" )

You'll have to excuse my fan-boying but we have one of my all time favourite chats (🚨with a smidge of ranting thrown in🚨) about many varied subjects ranging from potential right-wing Koalas who may have Chlamydia 🐨, to AI robots that can compose a song from just a simple hum (f@ck you Suno 🖕🏼).

You'll laugh (hopefully🤞🏼) & cry (I did) & thanks to César for such a rad yarn - I reckon you will dig it as we explore all things floræ, faunæ & funga (?) 🍄 plus his 5 totally eclectic guests! 🥳

Another massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It's hotter than César's schedule (man is busy! 🤯) so check them out & put it on all of your foods. 🥵🔥🌶️

Finally, thanks to my patreons for their $upport & further 🔗 to all the other fun things from this episode including César's Spotify playlist featuring his fantasy guests are in the show notes ⬇️

For ep. 51 of the LWICFD! Podcast we have central coast singer / songwriter Kassidy Lalor 💥

Kassidy has just released a single called "Roll the dice" 🎲 which is available on all of the streamers and is playing a show with his full band at Six String Brewery on Saturday 11th April (FREE entry!! 💃🏻 🥳🕺)

During the poddy we have a great yarn about writing songs (he writes a new song pretty much every day!) and how Kassidy decided to just roll the dice with his life and give music a crack which I reckon is pretty inspiring.

Massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggn hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It is hotter than Kassidy's brain with all of his musical ideas buzzing around inside 🧠 😅 so go check them out and put it on all of the foods.🤯🔥🌶️

Welcome to the 50th episode of the LWICFD! podcast! 🍾

I'm super stoked to be celebrating this milestone episode with Dan 🎸& Sim 🥁from Boorloo / Perth band Gyroscope (Ps - no you're not seeing double & yes I know last episode we had Rob the Gyro's OG drummer…)

Not only are Dan & Sim helping me celebrate the 50th episode with their rad dinner party, but we all are celebrating the fact that Gyroscope have new music out ("My Broken Spine") & are hitting the road for shows this march & April (song links & tour dates are in the show notes)

Gyroscope were one of the first bands that I was lucky enough to tour with & their live show is non-stop energy💥…they are one of the best & entertaining live bands I have ever had the pleasure of mixing sound for & so I'm very pleased that they are back making fresh tunes for our ear holes 👂🏼& playing more shows for our eye balls 👀 🤘🏼

Dan, Sim & I have a great catch up about Gyroscopes new studio that they built themselves, where they engineer & produce all their new music by themselves plus also keeping chickens 🐓 before we settle in for a quality fantasy dinner party with some hella rockstars 🤩

Massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show for all of the journey so far. It's hotter than the hot minute it has been waiting for new Gyro's music 😅 so go check them out and put it on all of the foods.🤯🔥🌶️

Another massive thanks to my patreons for their $upport (some of them have been on the ride since show#1 which blows my mind) & further 🔗 to all the other fun things from this episode including Dan & Sim's Spotify playlist featuring their fantasy guests are in the show notes below...

Well hello & welcome to ep. 49 of the LWICFD! Podcast. It's been a minute (I was enjoying the summer 🏝️) so without anymore mucking around my guest for your ear holes is Rob Nassif! 💥

I met Rob over 20yrs ago when he was smashing drums in a band called Gyroscope. Many moons ago I was lucky enough to be invited to tour with Gyros for a few laps of the country as their sound engineer & tour manager and it was very good times!

Rob has now hung up the drumsticks after 20+ years tho and now is the owner of some amazing rehearsal & creative spaces called "The Hen House" in Boorloo, Perth & the newly constructed one in Naarm, Melbourne (which he also manages…) Speaking of management, in his 'spare' time 😅 Rob manages 2 hard working Aussie bands called RedHook & The Faim but most importantly he is a loving & devoted husband & father…man is busy so it was an absolute treat to catch up with him & hear some cool Gyro stories plus find out how he got to where he is now…

Massive thanks to Shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It's hotter than Rob's FREE weekly BBQ @ The Hen House (see The Hen House insta for more details)💥 so go check them out and put it on all of the foods.🤯🔥🌶️

Another massive thanks to my patreons for their $upport & further 🔗 to all the other fun things from this episode including Rob's Spotify playlist featuring his fantasy guests are in the show notes below.

Hit the lights! 🤘🏼On this episode of the LWICFD! Podcast we have my brother from another mother…Tim "Westy" West 💥🥳

Back in the day Westy was the maddog playing bass in legendary Cenny Coast thrash metal band FROZEN DOBERMAN who did heaps of rad sh!t in their career including supporting Sepultura, Motörhead & METALLICA!! (🤘🏼x💥)+🔥

Westy is now kicking it as a handyman, man, who is based out of Woy Woy, 2256 👊🏽 and about 10 years ago I was even in a party jam band with him myself, called The Camrys 💃🏻🪩🕺

We have an epic and hilarious catch up as we just recently went to watch Metallica in Sydney & have a good nerd out about the gig as well as hearing about his rad stories touring with Doberman 🐾 as well as imagining hanging out with his 5 most excellent guests at the fantasy dinner party.

Massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It's hotter than Westy's bass playing fingers 'cos he doesn't use a pick 💥 so go check them out and put it on all of the foods.🤯🔥🌶️

This episode of the LWICFD! Podcast stars the one and only Jonboy Rock!

If you've ever been at a show by Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun, Jet, Wolfmother or Regurgitator to name but a few, JBR was probably out the front making them sound good and loud for your earholes. Jonboy toured the world for 32 years (😳) and recently hung up his frequent flyer card to concentrate on mixing and producing bands in his studio at home in Gadigal/Sydney. We have a great & nerdy chat about growing up in the 90s and how he got into the audio game, touring the world with some amazing bands and cheesecake! 😋🤓

Massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It's hotter than Jonboy's earholes after another scorching mix 💥 so go check them out and put it on all of the foods.🤯🔥🌶️

Another massive thanks to my patreons for their $upport & further 🔗 to all the other fun things from this episode including Jonboys Spotify playlist featuring his fantasy guests are in the show notes below.

SUPPORT ACT: https://supportact.org.au/

On this episode we have a 🔥🔥🔥 drummer called Ben Ellingworth. I first met Ben when he was working in the Billy Hydes music equipment rental place in Sydney and drumming in this sik band called mm9 who played a lot at a venue I worked at called the Annandale and then one time they came on a national tour as the main support act for this other band I was tour managing called Karnivool (this tour is definitely in my top 5 tours of my whole career.)

15 years after that tour and Ben is now playing drums with Gflip touring this mega tour with G pretty much since covid ended and G blew up all over the world - and its still going!

Along the way Ben also worked with many other bands eg Illy and Peking Duk and is also working with an emerging artist called Tilly Fenton, but what I love about this tho is way back on that 'vool tour and when I saw Ben at the Billy Hyde's he would always be super friendly but always tell me that he was gonna be playing massive stages one day and now he is and I am so stoked for him b/c he is the nicest dude, he absolutely loves drums and drumming so he is doing what he has always dreamed of which I find really inspiring. Plus he fecking rips on the drums and is just awesome to watch - links in the shownotes.

Gflip just released a new album called "The Dream Ride" and is on tour right now - currently in the USA and Canada then over to the UK and then Australia in late feb / march 2026 - tickets are on sale now.

Massive thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggn hot sauce and sponsoring my show. It's hotter than one of Ben's drumsticks after some hectik drum roll paradiddle drum thing and so go check them out and put it on all of the foods.🥁 🤯🔥🌶️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ETC.!

Yes! Today marks the 2nd birthday of the LWICFD! Podcast and to help celebrate this very special anniversary for me (see EP.#31), I am extremely honoured to have my dear friend Peter Hughes! 🥳

I first met Peter back in 2005 (pretty much to the day this pod drops 😳!) when I got asked to do the sound and Tour Manage the band Peter was playing bass and singing beautiful harmonies in…The Mountain Goats who were blowing up in Australia and globally with songs such as "This Year", "No Children" and "Dance Music".

For 20+ yrs Peter toured with the 🏔️ 🐐 and I was lucky enough to tour Aus&NZ with them on 4 occasions. Peter even came to stay with my wife and I at our house at the conclusion of the 2006/2007 tour for a week (with another rad dude who was on that tour - John Vanderslice) so we have a lot of good history and I really enjoyed catching up with him and hear his journey from growing up in California to now, especially because…

…late last year, Peter "retired" from the MGs - but he didn't go and drink cocktails on the beach while enjoying retirement. Instead he jumped on a plane and came back to Australia to record a brand new solo record called "Half-Staff Blues" which comes out on 5TH SEPT so I strongly recommend you head on over to Peter's bandcamp and get a copy (link below).

Massive thanks to Shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show for another year❤️‍🔥 It's waaaaay hotter than it is outside b/c it's fecking freezing where I am right now so I might go and have a bath in it, anyway go check them out and put it on all of the foods. 🔥🌶️

Another massive thanks to my patreons for their $upport and if you're just a casual listener, thats cool too and thank you for listening 🙏🏼
