THE SECRET EPISODE! Not actually, but we're still glad you're here for another conversation centering around music paralysis, curiosity, discovery, and the human experience.Today on the show, the Spicy Boys had Phoenix, AZ-based comedian and friendly neighborhood Erick Biez (a.k.a. Tony Gonzalez) by for a chat on Graveyard's 2018 LP "Peace"We taped this episode early in 2022 and given Erick's ilk [as a comic], we found particular value in dusting this episode off and getting it to your earholes. By all objective assessments, it's been a rough year and sometimes we just need a little silliness and levity. So we hope the official Season 2 Poker Night Episode brings you a laugh or two or three and also opens your heart and mind to some tasty hard rock with some deep soulful vibes.Check out the full show notes here for all kinds of tasty accoutrement.

Victoria Shen is a life-force of insanely creative ideas and commanding performances. We had a lot of fun sitting down with her and talking about her process, how she creates sound devices, AI rendering, iron oxide tattoos, and so much more. Be sure to check the show notes on our website to get in on more of the fun!

Who loves a good buddy comedy? We do. We hope you enjoy Season 2 Episode 12; the beginnings of a beautiful friendship.

Hot dang gang! We’re halfway through Season 2 and bringing the midpoint home with a spicy episode with Phoenix, Ariz. based trio Ghost Island. Let’s get spacey! (Not Kevin)

Hot dang gang! Join us for a spirited discussion on Flanafi’s 2021 ”The Knees Start to Go” with Portland-based percussionist Micah Hummel.

This season has truly been a joy to book and record. We have had the opportunity to connect with some incredibly intelligent, kind, and fun creatives, like the guest of this episode: Ivana Dama.

She is a current artist in residence at The Har­vest­works Art and Tech­nol­o­gy Pro­gram on Gov­er­nors Island, with her work Command and Control. Listen in to hear more about her fascinating work and find the deeper show notes HERE.

CJ Boyd brought to us the lovely, experimental sounds of Cher Von and her Banyan Tree EP. This is a great entry point for anyone curious about exploring experimental music.
