We were in a band.

WE'RE BACK BABY!

Apologies to any long-time fans of the show... We've been up and running for what seems like 10 years now but somehow, we're only on episode 6! This is a very special edition of the podcast and NOT because of Christmas. In fact, this episode was recorded SO long ago, we were still burping turkey from last Christmas whilst recording it.

This is episode is special because it is our very first IN-PERSON recording!! That's right, myself and Jack, headed down to Surrey to meet the three fantastic chaps behind the new(ish) outfit Joe Kellino's Miracle Medicine Show. We sat down in the funk bunker with Joe, Luke and Adam and chatted about all things bands including pikey gigs, flat tires, crap band names, and tragic auditions. We were even treated to a live performance of one of their tracks post-convo, listen all the way to the end to catch that little Christmas cracker!

JKMMS have just released their first EP and you MUST check it out and support them via their link below.

This week on the show, Dan Ash (AKA Teenage Waitress / previously of The Lost Boys) has a candid chat with Fin & Jack about being inspired by a plumbers van, performing to a wasps nest and angry sound engineers demanding an encore.
