This isn't a rave it's a podcast about Lifter Puller's last LP, "Fiestas & Fiascos."   It's producer "Kevin is Whenever's"  first listen to this Lifter Puller classic.  Did Craig succeed  in pulling off a concept album tied together with a narrative and reoccurring characters (Night Club Dwight, The Eye Patch Guy, Juanita...?)  We try to connect the dots on how this influenced the early THS albums. What sounds like THS and what sounds drastically different?  So push your little phone into podcast mode and crack open a cold beer...and don't worry if you are out of regular beer you can always get some 3-2...yes you can always get some 3-2...

Gaspar and Mike sit down to discuss the latest news from the Unified Scene with Lauren and producer "Kevin is Whenever."  We talk new songs and possible new album.

Come along Jett-setting with Mike from Roanoke as he recaps Nashville, Atlanta, & the Denver shows. Some highlights:  Hear tales of a sucker punched fan and “The Confetti Conspiracy of 2022.” In the "From Meatloaf to the Billy Joel" segment Mike spouts great things about the bands "Near Beer" and "The Henry Clay People." This episode should be titled "Two Mike's and One DJ (Okay Most People Are DJ's but in this case it happens to be cohost Gaspar.)

Andrew from Toronto, breaks down the most recent Toronto shows! Andrew may be a newbie when it comes to THS fandom—but he made up for it by forcing himself to listen to all the albums in order, for two whole weeks, before moving on to the next album in the catalog. And let’s not even get started on the spreadsheets he prepared for the live shows! He tells hilarious stories that make us wonder are Canadian audiences the politest ever? ***Also, Heather aka “The Queen of Queens” aka “Heather with the Henna on her hands, (but not really)” joins Gaspar and Mike to play play THS ice breakers & the new game “Diamonds in the Drain”
