Guardrail is playing with The Ataris this weekend, and why better way to get ready for it than by having some brewskis with the other local band on the bill Bury Me In Lights????!!?!???!?!!? I sat down at the Diet Punk Practice Space with Rob and Tim from BMIL, and we chat about music for most of it. Also, thank heaven for Google, Tim googled oh so many things. COME OUT THIS WEEKEND

LindenRail lives! Alex and Fritz of The Linden Method stop by and we chat mostly about weird dreams. We also talk tour stories, their new EP and the time Fritz pissed off Bill Stevenson. Catch them 10/7 at Reggies with Bad Cop / Bad Cop, and catch their bassist Xack playing guitar for Guardrail on 10/21 with The Ataris.

I’m sick, fuck you. Today on the show I had Scott Kelly of Still World over for Jameson shots. He talks about growing up in Ireland, getting started playing music, our favorite supergroups, and how he looks like a young Sam Carter. I also spin TanZen’s new track at the top of the episode after giving a little Riot Fest recap.

 

I also got word that my dude Chris Johnson passed away today. He was a ray of sunshine that will definitely be missed in our scene. I end the episode with an instrumental demo from his band Parallels and Lies. Rest in peace buddy, much love

Brand spankin’ new artist alert! I sit down with Pinpoint (aka Mitchel) to discuss how he got his start in playing music. Very different path than most of my previous guests, had a blast talking with him. Also, Victoria from the Hope For The Day episode joined us as well. Plus, Riot Fest is upon us, so I drunkenly give you some of my top picks to see this year. I had too much wine at Guardrail practice, whoops.

 

Pinpoint’s next show:

Beat Kitchen, Monday 9/17

It’s only been two episodes but Erabella’s Chris and Connor are back for another round of bullshitting. Come along with us on a journey that includes haunted houses, political debates with family members on Facebook, Cheesie’s, Paul Konerko, getting fucked up at grocery stores, and so much more. Probably too much more to be honest.

 

Here’s that wild video Chris blessed me with:

This episode, my boy Jay Lovell came by the crib. He’s played with me in El Famous, as well as Red Novella and I Can Hear Myself Levitate, and is also a new dad. We chat about his upbringing in Hawaii, living on the east coast, culture shock, playing a show at an unusual college, mental health, fatherhood, fun shows we’ve played together, and a shit-load more. I also give an update on what I’ve been up to since the last episode, including Camp Punk In Drublic, some shows I played with my new band Lower Nature, and my new solo acoustic bullshit.

 

Come by SOL Mondays, every monday night at High Noon Saloon in Wicker Park! 9pm-2am, no cover, 21+, eat good food and drink good people while I play all the punk jams.

And just like that, I haven't done one of these in a month. (Where the fuck did the time go?) So I'm making up for it by giving you an extra-long banger of an episode. Chris and Connor of Erabella join me at the Guardrail practice space. We talk about their upcoming EP ‘Kingdoms’, sneezing, boy bands, and other random shit. The hour and a half flew by, such a fun-ass conversation. I also spin a new track from Growing as well as one of my favorite jams off the new Underoath record.

 

 

Come by SOL Mondays, every monday night at High Noon Saloon in Wicker Park! 9pm-2am, no cover, 21+, eat good food and drink good people while I play all the punk jams.
