Advertise on podcast: Oh, You're In A Band?

Season 3 ends with a whopper of a super sized episode where we finally lift the self inflicted ban on talking about our own band: The Throbbing Testicles. Joined by Bill Keller (Keys) and Travis Haley (Guitars) we talk about our debut album 'Your Music Is Bad And You Should Feel Bad' and the 15 year remake as well as dive into what it was like to be in this goofy band all those years ago and what set us apart from the local heavy metal scene when we were so obviously not.

Taking a slight detour this week from the album theme, we're kicking back with a good ole catching up chat this week with the one and only Riley Wilkes. Hear the stories of her musical background, early days of playing for T3, and what some people do and don't consider social media and a lot more!

Take a journey down memory lane, mine not yours, as we take a look into some college bands from the pacific northwest from around 2005-2008. Hear some of the bands that inspired some of the questions that led to this podcast. We go down a rabbit hole and listen to some bands you've never heard of, but you really should including: Love You Long Time, National Holiday, Preston Pugmire, Victim Effect, In:Aviate, Oh, Doctor, and Children of Nova.

Part 2 of our chat with the Forty Two boys, but really this was the original interview before we decided to re-record it. It kind of goes off the rails but its funny and we tell some different stories from the other one so it fits. Shut up, enjoy it. Its fun, let me be funnnn!

Part 1 of a two part episode, sort of. This was the second attempt to record an interview with the Forty Two boys about their album 'Shatter the Reflection'. Hear how it was made, the themes surrounding it, and the how the complex and melodic sounds meld together.

This week we brought back Jezy Park of Jessica Seven to talk about their debut/not debut album: Dragon Chaser. We talked about where he got his ideas and motivation to record on his own, what attracted band members and fans to the music, and what it takes to sit down and record a song all on your own. Always a fantastic conversation, always a good time.

It's the dreaded best of episode! Are we behind in recording? Did I mess up the order? I don't know, shut up. Here's a collection of some of the best live show stories from Season 1 to enjoy and remember when life was funny.

This week I've got Travis and Tracy Haley of Burning The Past here to talk about their album Chasing Ghosts as well as a bit of a more in depth history of the band, themes, and decisions that led to their debut album and their plans for the future.

Jay Jackson returns for his third appearance to talk about both of his albums 'Clockwork Neon' and 'Envy The Faithful'. We talk about the differences of the sound of both albums and the changes that occurred between the two albums that lead to the final sound of Envy The Faithful and beyond.

Somehow we've returned for a new season! This time around we're talking to bands specifically about their albums and doing a deep dive on the themes, stories, and recordings of those long lasting projects that live on long after the bands call it a day. Season 3 airs every Friday morning starting August 1!

The one, the only, the legendary Bill Keller is my guest this week. I've known Bill for over 15 years now and he's been nothing but a steady dependable friend who's got lots of crazy stories to tell and tell them we do. Lots of laughter and stubbornness from this episode I tell you.

This is a special episode of the pod, not a live interview, not a current audio, but a throwback episode to once again celebrate my good friend Derek White, who is no longer with us. This audio comes cobbled together from 2 separate episodes of a college radio show we hosted back in 2007-2008 called the Random Arse Radio Show. It's not necessarily about music per say, although we do talk about it a little, but its just some fun forgotten chatter with one of my best friends who I miss very much to celebrate his birthday.

This week is another special episode week where we dive into the fans perspective of live music. My guest is my bud Jason Jones who's been to more concerts than I have ever heard of in my life. We talk about the recent Sick New World concert in Las Vegas and just what drives us as fans to go to live shows and the connections we form with bands.

Hear the thrills of today episode with the very talented Clayton Aronowitz of the Big Dam Horns. This week's episode was recorded on his porch during a fancy spring rainfall so there's a very laid back and chill vibe. Also loud rain at parts so.... sorry about that. This week we talk about his Valentine's Day 'Tuba-grams', what its like to wrangle a 13 piece band, and what makes the difference in a band when you do and don't know your musical counterparts.

One of my oldest friends in the world its Dr. Nicholas Mortensen III in the flesh. Finally had a moment to sit down with Nick and just fall right back into the ridiculousness that we used to get into while we try to uncover his musical history, what drives him to make cool music, and just how he has made it this far with those stubby little sausages he calls his fingers.
