We hide in the shadows and feed on our tears…they make us strong. You can’t reject the rejected. Whoa. Sorry, there. Got a little dark.

Not only do Peter and Julie do this podcast together, they also put on a yearly event in Salem, Oregon called Rejected Art Faire. Last year was the first one, actually. But, it was such a smashing success, they’re going to do it every year. In this episode, they sit down with three artists that will be showing at Rejected Art Faire 2018 – Emma Douglas, Crystal Burgoyne, and Shauna Groves at The Dehn Bar in downtown Salem to talk about the event and their art.

Rejected Art Faire 2018 will be Saturday, July 28th at 5pm at The Space Concert Club. It is all ages until 10pm and is $5 entry. All entry fees go to the musicians. Art will be to enjoy and to buy.

The music lineup features Lung from Cincinnati, Ohio. You will hear their song, “Bottom of the Barrel” at the end of the ‘cast. See you at The Faire.

Thanks again to Dehn Bar for graciously allowing us to record in their front room. We love them.

Music Lineup: Honk Heads, The King Dot, B-Roll, KRS+, Vortex Remover, Hank Porche, Lung, Marc & The Horsejerks.

Artists: Alissa June Fenderson – Acrylic, Mixed Media *

Asterisk denotes new to the Faire this year.

Hey Everybody! Yeah yeah. We’ve been far away, and we’re mighty sorry about that. Listen to us stumble through remembering how to talk about interesting things! Listen to Julie smack her lips and say “um” too much! It’s just like starting over! We did a little catching up. We talked about Make Music Salem 2018 that happened last week and the upcoming Rejected Art Faire 2018 on July 28th at The Space Concert Club. It’s just like hanging out with two really tired people!

BUT!

We put the shout out on Effbook for someone to call in and save us from ourselves, and someone did! Kevin Lapsley from Salem band DPRST called in and chatted with us for a bit. We sure appreciated that. Thanks, Kevin! We finished up playing DPRST’s song, “Ghosts,” recorded live at The Space on June 6th of this year.

Please enjoy listening to us awkwardly remember how to do a podcast. Cheers!

Julie and Peter sit down with Salem band, No Me Gusta at the Dehn Bar downtown and eat free chips and salsa. You know, the usual. They just released their first EP “Grocery Store Erotica.” It’s a punchy little punk number, take a listen. Also, listen to our engrossing conversation. 

No Me Gusta is: Hayden Freshour on guitar and vocals, Tyler Weld on bass, and Justin Baker on drums. These guys are all Salem natives, which is fabulous. Their next show is this weekend, Saturday, February 3rd at The Triangle with Wire Monkey Mama and Lojia. Starts around 9pm and it is FREE! We’ve seen them several times and they bring it.

Other mentions in the podcast:

The Space, Spiller, Showtigers, Kylie Burbank, Wild Ire, Sadgasm, Summer Eyes, Brides, Mouth, City of Pieces, Duncan Trussell, Paul Stamets, and probably more.

NOTE: These are the bands’ Facebook pages, but go on their “about” section and go to their bandcamps and buy their music.

Hey, Salem! It’s been a while. With all the sickness and the holidays and more sickness, we had to take a break. But, we’re back. We really didn’t have anything specific to talk about, we just missed you, so we figured that YOU MISSED US TOO. Peter and Julie are hanging out with Justin Stimson (Mustin Douch) on a rainy Friday evening talking about music and cats and whatever we want. Plus, an “unexpected” guest shows up at the end there. Also, singing. Hang out with us for a while, will you?

If everything goes as planned, we’ll be back next week with No Me Gusta. They’ve got a new album coming out and we want to talk to them about it. Until then, try to go on without us. Hey! Go back and listen to past episodes. They’re all real good.

Peter takes Marc to Muchas Gracias.

Summer Eyes is Ben Thede on guitar and lead vocals, Denny McDowell on guitar and backing vocals, Sean Pass on bass, and Justin Stimson (aka Mustin Douch) on drums. Everybody got together at Julie’s house and talked about the release of their new EP, “Raise the Alarm,” which they’ll be celebrating this Friday, December 15th at The Space.

Also on the bill is Brides, No Me Gusta, Games from Portland with members of Bubble Cats, and our own Peter Degroot’s band Vortex Remover. The show starts at 7pm, is all ages until 9pm, and costs $5 because art has value.

All the guys except Justin (who grew up in Portland) grew together on the mean streets of South Salem. They not only grew up together, but they grew up musically as well. It’s pretty sweet.

Just go ahead and listen.

Their EP is available on Bandcamp and at Ranch Records downtown for only $5! They’ll also be for sale at the show. Support some true sons of Salem and show up and show them all the love. There are five bands on the bill, and they’re all pretty different. They’ll be something for everyone. See you there.

A couple months ago, Sam McBride (Mammals in the Hard Drive, The Falcon, King Dot) had a house show with the Startle Easilies, Sustentacula, and Honk Heads. Startle Easilies is a super group with Sam, Julian Snow, and our own Peter Degroot – playing old Degroot B sides. I (Julie) fell in love with Honk Heads (already HUGE fans of Sustentacula). Honk Heads is Sam McBride and partner, Lilly. There is nothing else in Salem like them. Seriously.

At this point, the only way you’ll get to see them is if you catch one of their house shows. Lilly prefers to keep it low key, and we respect that. In fact, it was an honor to be invited into their sanctuary. Felt good. Real good. We should visit again.

We hung out with Sam and Lilly and talked about privacy, Facebook, gropers, changing paradigms, and of course, music. Join us, will you?

Mentions: Sean McLeod, Micky Bare, Chris Webb, Mitch Myers, Murmuring Pines, The Great Idea at The Enchanted Forest, Dandy Warhols, Doug Hoffman, The Space Concert Club, Rejected Art Faire, David Rafn, Rick Dance, Blitzen Trapper, “Flava in ya ear,” Craig Mack, LL Cool J, B.I.G., Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, The Gourds, Beck, Beastie Boys, The Pumps, Acting Captain, and more…
