Part 2 of our interview with Meg Castellanos and Tony Aguilar, the tremendous couple behind All Souls and Totimoshi. Tony finds himself in fisticuffs in a driving van, Meg face plants, and both of them offer soulful perspectives to the boring white male hosts on what it's like to tour in their shoes.

Part 1 of a long interview with Meg Castellanos and Toni Aguilar, the talented couple behind All Souls and Totimoshi. Insane times with a party-wild drummer. Nature calls amidst a domestic suicide attempt. Skin heads thwarted. A border crossing gets very personal.

Our first and likely only interview with a touring artist and self taught robotics expert, JBOT, the DIY warrior behind Captured! By Robots; a touring and recording band of actual hand built robots. We talk about his touring origins during the third wave of ska in the 90's, and how travelling with a nine piece band can drive one to a solitary life with non-flesh band mates. What does it take to set up and tear down a travelling robotic stage show every night? How do self-taught robotics skills translate to van maintenance and song writing? Does JBOT own the robots, or do they own him? Enlightenment awaits.

A fun and hilarious chat with Rob Sheridan, who for many years was the Art Director and creative force behind Nine Inch Nails' stunning live show. Rob tells us what is involved with bringing a live show of this magnitude on the road, how not to piss off Trent Reznor, and gives us the best hotbag story ever told on the airwaves.

A long delicious talk with Coady WIllis, drummer of Big Business, Melvins, Murder City Devils, Dead Low Tide and more. A dirty punk show begets a lap dance which begets a full on brawl. Bladed Christmas gifts are not enough to impress Lemmy. A nefarious Texas State Trooper returns. A rare Rick James is spotted in his element. A foreign tour through two separate natural disasters.

We talk with tour veteran Conan Neutron about his decades of touring in Replicator, Victory and Associates, and Conan Neutron and the Secret Friends. Circus metal is mutually denigrated. Box Elder is pondered. A most unfortunate happy hour is discovered. Band fights beget band make-ups. Boris the cat wins initiative.

Jon Weisnewski (host) invites his long time friends Nat Damm (Akimbo, Sandrider), TJ Cowgill (King Dude, Teen Cthulhu), Brandon Nakamura (Teen Cthulhu, Doomsday 1999), and Travis Nakamura (Teen Cthulhu, Doomsday 1999) to tell the story of their first tour together 20 years ago. In part 2 we discuss the second half of the tour: Bakersfield, LA, and back to Seattle. The saddest 21 run. A show in a boxing ring. Sam the mysterious benefactor. Witness to a tragic act of violence. A grueling drive back home.

Jon Weisnewski (host) invites his long time friends Nat Damm (Akimbo, Sandrider), TJ Cowgill (King Dude, Teen Cthulhu), Brandon Nakamura (Teen Cthulhu, Doomsday 1999), and Travis Nakamura (Teen Cthulhu, Doomsday 1999) to tell the story of their first tour together 20 years ago. In part 1 we detail the first half of the tour: Seattle to San Francisco. A college party results in theft. A fight breaks out at a show (but it's just pillows). San Francisco exposes us for the children we are.

We share a few clips from individual sessions. Jesse Roberts (Sandrider, Old Iron, The Ruby Doe, Kid Congo Powers) sets a record for most U-Hauls used in a weekend warrior tour. Joe Plummer (Cold War Kids, The Shins, Modest Mouse, Black Heart's Procession) may or may not have broken into a parked vehicle to swap parts for a parking lot van fix. Season 2 publishing arrangements announced!

A mimosa fueled chat with the charming Ethan Anderson of Seattle americana group Massy Ferguson. He reminisces about early days touring the college circuit, a patchwork European tour featuring a pre-deployment send off show for the US Army's 1st Armored Tank Division, what really happens when the band passes the tequila bottle, and an endearing story of taking his 7 year old son on the road with him. Multiple drinks are almost spit from mouths.
