The Road The Stage

The Road The Stage is now officially as many episodes old as Peter Michaels! Er... sorry make that as many episodes old as Patrick Bateman. Regardless, both of them are joined by producer Ryan Kuly, one of the 2 wizards behind the scenes at The Road The Stage and Communal Creative Studios. Ryan has been the Production Manager at Bo's Bar & Stage for a few years now, taking everything he's learned from performing HUNDREDS of shows and touring around North America to ensuring the quality visits of the bands we see hit the stage at Bo's. Let's put it this way...without Ryan Kuly, there would be no The Road The Stage. He also offered up some helpful tips for both touring musicians and concert-goers on how to make the whole live music experience even better! Dig in and thanks for hanging out.

The Road The Stage is recorded and produced at Communal Creative Studios in Red Deer, Alberta.

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP! It’s Dave Monks week on The Road The Stage. Just in time for the release of his new record I’ve Always Wanted To Be Me (Out October 15th), Patrick Bateman and Peter Michaels got to chat with Dave about his newest tunes, getting ready to suit up and tour the US again with Tokyo Police Club, creating fire content and it coming off like you’re a seasoned pro, and lots more.

The Road The Stage is here with another episode for your ears and eyes! Fill 'em up with a great chat featuring Reuben Bullock from Reuben and the Dark, calling in from sunny California. Reuben has had a pretty wild year and a half through the pandemic, but his perspective on all it entails is enlightening and one we should probably all incorporate into our lives. We talk lots about having your music incorporated for the use of television and movies, when and how he learned to play music - and lots more.

It's time to take a look through Peter Michaels tick pics. He's got a fat sack of stubs that dates all the way to the - a really long time ago. Many tickets from many bands over his years hitting up shows all over Alberta and abroad. Patrick Bateman also gets a good look at Peter in his prime - mullet and all. 

Plus, fan clubs, walking out early on a show Patrick was genuinely interested in, Degrassi and more.

The Road The Stage hits your audio/video feed with the one and only Dan Mangan. Patrick Bateman has been dying to ask Dan a very important (at least to him) question for 10 years now - and he definitely got to ask it. Plus, Peter Michaels digs into Dan's love for the Tragically Hip. They talk a little about vaccinations, live music, the growing and crucially important Side Door Access, and lots more. 

Go check out everything Dan Mangan has going on HERE.

Summer is just about over and The Road The Stage is kicking off September with a Peter Michaels and Patrick Bateman catch up. Patrick was recently visiting family in Ontario and brought back a collection of some of his first concert tickets. And other pieces of trash Bateman brought which as you'll find out, gave Peter some ammunition to insult Patrick a little bit. 

Plus, wasps. Concert memories. Fluids. And they talk about some of the live music they've seen lately, not just in the 10+ years ago.
