Episode 193: Makeshift Tapedeck (Indie Rock)[Monroe, LA]{SXSW series}

Episode 193 continues with the mini-SXSW series that I’m doing and features my guests Makeshift Tapedeck out of Monroe, LA. I ran into them quite randomly in Austin at a venue/bar called Hole In The Wall. They were sitting at a picnic table unsuspectingly when I sprung an impromptu interview on them. I spoke with Cole, Joel, and Asa in the conversation. We discussed the origin story of their band, some stories from the road, as well as who has the gnarliest farts in the van. I had to keep the  interview a little on the shorter side due to some time constraints but I’m hoping to get the band back on the show later on in the year. You can check out Makeshift Tapedeck’s music on Spotify as well as on this episode. I featured their song “Snooze.” Thanks for listening and supporting local music.

Episode 192: Part-Time Rockstar Custodian (Indie Rock) [Philadelphia, PA]

Episode 192 features my guest Mike Hertz of the band Part-Time Custodian. They are an indie rock band with what I would describe as slightly country and almost southern sound. Mike has been playing the singer songwriter circuit around the east coast for years and his story telling is certainly a large influence on the band’s sound. I wanted to get him on the show because we are playing a show together this weekend SATURDAY AT THE GRAPE ROOM IN PHILADELPHIA at 8pm with our friends and former guests of the show The Mack Brothers, as well Haha Charade. My band The Hollow Truths will also be playing NYC at Rockwood on Friday night. In any case whether you are friends of fans of Mikes hopefully you enjoy the conversation. You can find the band’s music on the links below. Thanks for listening and supporting local music.

Episode 190: Sam Mago of Anything Is Everything (Pop Punk) [Chicago, IL]

Episode 190 features Sam from Anything Is Everything who are Chicago’s self-proclaimed “Worst Punk Band.” They just dropped a brand new album called, “A Tragic Optimism” which features the single “Remedy.” I featured the song on this episode and if you like it you can find Anything Is Everything on any and all streaming platforms. Sam is the first guest I’ve had on the show from Chi-town thus far so I got to pick his brain a bit about their scene and the state of indie music in their city. We had also had a lot of shared philosophies to talk about regarding altruism in the music scene so the conversation definitely went by quickly. Hopefully wherever you are listening in from you enjoy it and if you are friends or fans of Anything Is Everything you get a kick out of it. And if you are not yet fans of Sam’s maybe you will be afterward, who knows. As always thanks for listening and supporting local bands.
