Tomorrow We Die!

A lost episode emerges! Akimbo band mates Nat Damm and Jared Burke Eglington talk vans, gas, and tour stories. Does pasta cure edible perma-high? Answers await.

After a long sleepy break, TWD is back with our first ever touring comedian Derek Sheen. We compare notes between "miserable punk tours" and "miserable comedy tours", find out about comedy green room social politics, get some advice from Mom, and learn to sleep with our mouths closed,

Part 2 of our chat with Hozoji (Helms Alee, Lozen, Uukwuuk, Tacos!) and Justine of the Northwest 2 piece rippers, LOZEN. The exciting conclusion of an alcohol fueled stumble through tour memories. Is it secret? Is it safe? Falling asleep at the wheel. Montana dude compounds. Suspended licenses.

Part 1 of a chat with Hozoji (Helms Alee, Lozen, Uukwuuk) and Justine of the Northwest 2 piece rippers, LOZEN. For the first time on the show we revisit past tour stories with a new perspective. Vans held hostage, hairy border crossings into Juarez, and of course no TWD episode would complete without a hand job at knife point.

A long overdue chat with one of the kindest and most humble musicians out there (who also happens to be a living legend), Tad Doyle of the band Tad and Brothers of the Sonic Cloth. We talk about the early days of Seattle's heavy music scene, set a new record for near-death tour stories in a single show, and Tad drops a true stunner of a tour story that should probably be in some kind of musical trivia encyclopedia thing.

Part 2 of our hand held skip along memory lane, window shopping the best tour stories from Red Fang's prolific career as road warriors. A gingko-biloba trust is breached, myths are busted, the grim truths of stage diving are revealed, and an endearing moment during a deadly van crash is exposed. Bryan falls asleep.

Part 1 of two interviews with Aaron Beam and Bryan Giles of the fabulous RED FANG, possibly one of the hardest working touring bands in America today. We discuss saxophonic beginnings, how not to tantrum on stage, and the origin of The Hand Shake. A deeply shameful amount of cat feces is also discussed.

A deep relaxing soak into the soothing baritone of Kayhan Vaziri as he enlightens our hosts with stories from Yautja, Coliseum, and Die Young. How fast can one procure a passport prior to a border crossing? What hell awaits the damned who have clothes stolen on day one of tour? How many dogs are required to find Mexican shwag at a military checkpoint? Put on your ear buds and do some chores to find out, because tomorrow we die.

In episode 20 we catch up with our old friend Rob Hampton who played with hardly known The New Mexicans, and the greatly known Band of Horses. Joining us is also his current band mate Jonathan Carman who brings us tour stories from his former bands Leslie, and Farewell to Fashion. Together they play in Majic Dust. Never ask to see a stranger's gun at a hotel. Disaster strikes on Letterman. Someone goes from dodging bullets to playing cruise ships. Take a dip in the hot tub of our voices and enjoy.

A business/casual interview with friends and road-mates Laura Pleasants and Corey Barhorst, who for 15 years crushed the underground metal scene in Kylesa. Buying a used van from an ex cop! Touring in vans without seats! Touring in cars that aren't vans! None of these are good ideas! We also discuss the lifestyle choices one makes to support 'the life' and the various vermin it can attract. A breakdown in Pennsylvania goes from bummer, to horror, to just-kinda-weird-and-funny. All this for the low low price of your time.
