Jason “Ginchy” Kottwitz

He played guitar in the revived Dead Boys and toured Japan alongside New York Dolls guitarist Sylvain Sylvain (who basically moved into his house for a while and brought along his, um, sewing machine!). He’s also collaborated with the Geto Boys’ Bushwick Bill and has countless stories of punk-rock misadventures. Join us as we pick the brain of Jason “Ginchy” Kottwitz.

No Original Members?

We’ve all been caught off guard by bands touring without original members, but how much do you care? Is the gig about the songs or the players? What about two bands touring under the same name? Where do you draw the line?

Episode 25

Sammy Hagar

He’s been standing on top of the rock for nearly five decades, but there is so much more to Sammy Hagar’s success story than Montrose, a star-making solo career and the mega-stardom (and bitter contention) of Van Halen. As a once aspiring boxer, a tirelessly driven entrepreneur and all-around, high-energy personality, Hagar’s career could have taken many paths. Join us as we discuss the many fascinating layers of the Red Rocker.
