  • Unsigned518 Podcast #103, Jackie of Nikki Brown and the Well Diggers
    I sat down with Jackie of Nikki Brown and the Well Diggers and Sound Talent Group for a very interesting conversation about not only Jackie's role as drummer in Nikki Brown and the Well Diggers (whom I mistakenly refer to as "The Nikki Brown Band" several times throughout the episode. Sorry.) but also her day-job with Sound Talent Group. We talked all about what it takes to put a tour together for national and international acts and I learned so much about what goes on behind the scenes. I think you will really enjoy this conversation with Jackie on episode 103 of Unsigned518

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #100, Mikey Baish of Jive Hive Live
    Episode 100. It is hard to comprehend that I have put together 100 episodes, but here we are. 
     
    When I realized that this weeks episode would be number 100, I thought it was only right to circle back to my very first guest on Unsigned518, Mikey Baish.
     
     While MIkey is primarily known as the frontman of local favorites, The Sugar Hold, he is also a key figure at Jive Hive Live. This episode he is on representing the Hive and we even recorded it at Jive Hive Live, which is where episode one was recorded.
     
    Anyway, enough talk. Check out episode 100 and find out not only what has happened in the last couple of years, but also about what is coming in the near future.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast, 2023 Halloween Special

    On this episode, I sit down with Nick Kossor, Horror aficionado and guitarist for kickass 518 rockers, Gozer. We discuss some horror movies filmed in the area and deep dive into the Gozer song, My Design, which has nearly a dozen horror-movie references in the lyrics. 

    I also head up to Palangi Studios to talk to local musician and filmmaker, Frank Palangi, who has two horror movie anthologies available to view on streaming platforms. We talk about the process of making horror films and doing it 100% DIY. We also play Frank's interpretation of the classic John Carpenter theme to Halloween.

    Then, I go back to the Dazzle Den to finish out the episode by playing some cool 518 tunes that have a Halloween vibe. So, Ghouls and Ghosts, listen to the Unsigned518 Halloween Special. Just don't do it alone.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #97, Turf 'n' Turf
    The first time I saw Turf 'N' Turf play, I was immediately impressed with the set up and execution of  Turf 'N' Turf and The Noise Machine. It was loud, brash and nearly everything you could ask from a rock-n-roll show. Plus, there were bones and cymbals being punched. 
     
    If you are not familiar with Turf 'N' Turf and/or The Noise Machine, it is a little hard to describe. It is chaos and creativity in a cage. Turf 'N' Turf is a one-man outfit and I recently had a chance to sit down with Snail, the aforementioned one-man. Listen to how Turf 'N' Turf went from an idea to a reality. You can hear about it on this episode, but I highly suggest that you check out Turf 'N' Turf for yourself.
