Gabba Gabba Huh?

This week I spoke via Skype, then Zoom, with Josh Robbins and Scott Wishart of Late Bloomer! We talk about their new album, Another One Again, Scott's other band, Jupiter Hearts, previous projects, Lunchbox Records, podcasts, and more!

This week I spoke with not only musicians, but musicians making indie comics! Ryan Holgerson of Slackmatic (and musically, The Modrats), along with returning guests, Levi Erickson (The Big) and Jeff Williams (Supernova Über Alles), sit down for a conversation that leans heavily towards making comics and the comics industry in general (both indie and major), but we do talk music too! This one runs a little longer, but it could have easily been another hour and a half if I hadn't stopped the recorder, plus I spared you thirty minutes of toy talk up front! Comics in the Making: https://www.youtube.com/@comicsinthemakingSlackmatic: https://www.facebook.com/slackmatichttps://www.instagram.com/slackmatic0https://www.etsy.com/shop/slackmaticThe Modrats: https://www.facebook.com/themodratshttps://themodrats.bandcamp.comThe Big: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1443526242/the-big-chapter-1-mini-comicNo Anger Control: https://noangercontrol.comSupernova Über Alles: https://www.instagram.com/supernova_uber_alles/https://www.etsy.com/listing/1636495147/supernova-uber-alles-comic-book-issue-1Songs for GGHT90:The Modrats. - TwizzlersThe Modrats - Loneliest MouseDead Kings - Liver DieNo Anger Control - All Our FriendsVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

In this episode, I welcome back Christopher Bickel, director of the upcoming film, Pater Noster and the Mission of Light. We touch on his time in bands such as In/humanity and Guyana Punchline, but mostly stay focused on his still in progress DIY horror movie this time around. We also talk about how thrifting has changed, the importance of buying physical media, the joys and pains of crowdfunding, and one pretty amazing soundtrack! https://www.paternostermovie.com/Songs for GGHT88 :In/Humanity - Burn it to the GroundPater Noster and the Mission of Light - An AgendaVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week, Gary Ramsey paid a visit to the GGH Studio to talk about his nearly 50 years of playing music. Gary is one of a kind and a real hidden gem in the music scene, getting his inspiration by seeing Zeppelin in his teens, cutting his teeth on metal, moving to California and then walking back to North Carolina, a detour in prison after he got back, and America's Got Talent audition, and so many other stories, some of which you aren't gonna believe! Heck, I'm not sure Gary even believes them all! One of the more unique individuals I know and someone who is truly passionate about music, so whether you know him or not, you're sure to be entertained by this one!Gary Ramsey links:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GaryRamsey62Soundclick: https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandID=1496081Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/gary-ramseyReverbnation: https://www.reverbnation.com/garyramseyThe Ramsey/Loikkanen Project: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063372811582Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ramsey_loikkanenReverbnation: https://www.reverbnation.com/theramseyloikkanenprojectSongs for GGHT84:Gary Ramsey & Wicasta Lovelace - Gone Woman BluesVicious - Masters of the GoreMachine - Pull the PlugGary Ramsey - If Loneliness Had a NameGary Ramsey & John Matteson- Jibber JabberPapa Shine and the Still - Dance Like the World is on FireThe Ramsey/Loikkanen Project - Rattle My CageElvis Hitler - Green HazeGary Ramsey  - Black DogGary Ramsey - Remember Us This WayMachine - WarzoneVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week I  spoke with Mitchell McGirt of Bicycle Face via Skype to follow up on how the reunion show went and to hear about the Caleb Southern tribute show the following night as well. We also hit a few quick tangents and talk about what the future may hold for Mitch. This episode was already planned, but having this week's guest reschedule left a hole in the schedule, so this shorter episode should hold you over until next week's new full length episode drops!Bicycle Face at the Caleb Southern memorial show: https://youtu.be/yH1tHMKF4Y8?si=hWj398PsEfIK6c12Bicycle Face: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100053110207841Songs for GGHT83.5:Bicycle Face - Mitchell McGirtNorwegian Forehead - Dom FilnegroBicycle Face - Sonic Man vs The TroggsBicycle Face - I Can Hear the Grass GrowVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week I travelled to Greensboro, NC, to talk to Bicycle Face about their reunion shows and the reason they came about. In addition to talking about their histories in music, we also talk about witty stage banter, Caleb Southern, where Bicycle Face fit into the triangle signing spree of the mid-nineties, and becoming a "that guy!" actor.Bicycle Face: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100053110207841Songs for GGHT83: Smellit - BullSmellit - Johnny’s KiteBicycle Face - I’m the Devil (And You’re Not) Bicycle Face - Teenage Identity SongBicycle Face - Lost WeekendBicycle Face - Master ThespianBicycle Face - Fable of MythBicycle Face - Irrelevant Visit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week I have a shorter, "Release Series" episode! Since it's been a while, Release Series episodes that tend to be shorter and focused on a newly released song. On this episode, Patrick North of Longhost Odds returns to talk about his band's new song, Easy, and what they've been up to. Patrick asks me a few questions too, so you can hear about some things I've been up to as well!Longshot Odds: https://www.facebook.com/Longshotoddshttps://longshotodds.bandcamp.com/Rolling for What Now?

This week I sat down with Jonny Golian (AKA Jonny G) from Reporting from 20XX to talk about his involvement in supporting and documenting the scene through pictures, video, blogging, reviews, show listings, and more! We also talk about how he became acquainted with the local music scene, his time writing for his college paper, how he got into the photography side of things, and his involvement in the drag community, and get off on so many tangents along the way!https://reportingfrom20xx.com/Songs from GGHT80:The Eyebrows - Have Mercy, Lose Control (https://the-eyebrows.com/)One Big Love - Spaceship (https://www.reverbnation.com/onebiglove)Dollar Signs - Reinventing Dollar Signs (https://dollarsignstheband.com/)Heckdang - (The Death of the) Nuclear Self (https://heckdang.bandcamp.com/)The Girls - Kill (https://thegirls77.bandcamp.com/)Jah Freedom -The Dream, The Bed (https://jahfreeonthebeat.bandcamp.com/)Van Huskins - Super Yikes (vanhuskins.bandcamp.com)Visit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week, I spoke to percussionist, Scotty Irving, via Skype on two separate days due to technical difficulties and crossed wires! Scotty is best known as the one man behind the Christian Harsh Noise act, Clang Quartet, but we also talk about his time behind the drums in Geezer Lake, Benj-O-Matic, and Spirit of Hamlet, as well as school band, but the main focus of this one is Scotty's faith. Clang Quartet: https://www.facebook.com/clangquartetyoutube.com/clangquartet1967Armor of God: https://youtu.be/dwNBDz1w1tgGeezer.

This week I sat down with the band Bog Loaf, at the bar of The Milestone Club in Charlotte NC to talk about their individual and collective musical journeys! I gush a little bit up front and again at the end about what this place means to me, and we have to deal with a fan in the background (I scrubbed it as much as I could), but then we get around to all things Bog Loaf, including their upcoming residency at Snug Harbor (Every Wednesday, June 2023, https://snugrock.com/) and their recent Living Room Sessions with Nothing But Drums (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC63_LS8s9Z2KbWG98EFVZhg).Bog Loaf: https://www.facebook.com/BogLoafhttps://bogloafnc.bandcamp.com/The Milestone: https://themilestone.club/https://www.facebook.com/THEMILESTONECLUBSongs for GGHT78:Dirt Nap - Bury Me (https://www.reverbnation.com/dirtnapva)Pig Mountain - Omega (https://pigmountain666.bandcamp.com/)HU/LK - From the Hip/Aim High (https://hulknc.bandcamp.com/)Manchovy - Space Wolf (https://soundcloud.com/manchovy)Safety Not Guaranteed - Breath Hold (https://safetynotguaranteed.bandcamp.com/)Bog Loaf - Donner PartyVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week I decided to follow up my Chuck Walker interview (if you haven't listened, do that. Now), with another South Carolina episode, and with someone that got mentioned in that interview, and spoke with Billy Riot via Skype. We talk about his music, his podcasts, getting sober, and finding God. We also cover how he and Chuck became friends and the things they're going to be doing together in the very near future! Soda City Riot: https://www.facebook.com/SODACITYRIOThttps://sodacityriot.bandcamp.com/Billy Riot: https://billyriot.bandcamp.com/Songs for GGHT77:Gameboy - (unknown song title, from demo available at https://soundcloud.com/gameboytheband)Rhythm Mechanic - Quarantine Banger 2020 Vol. 1 (https://soundcloud.com/rhythm-mechanic)The Black Iron Gathering - Walk Into Another Day (https://theblackirongathering.bandcamp.com/)Soda City Riot - Yachts and WarsBilly Riot - My Mother Doesn't Know I'm a Punk RockerVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week I spoke with Chuck Walker via Skype about his influential band, Bedlam Hour. Not only does Chuck walk us through the history of his band, but he also fills in a lot of gaps in the South Carolina punk rock history that hasn't made it on the podcast yet. We also talk about touring, his side projects, how punk rock and old age go hand in hand, we have a brief visit from my parents dogs, and talk about getting the band back together!Bedlam Hour:  https://www.youtube.com/@bedlamhourofficial9923/https://www.instagram.com/bedlamhourofficial/https://rivermonsterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/win-a-billion-dollarsRiver Monster Records: https://www.facebook.com/RivermonsterrecordsSongs for GGHT76:Bedlam Hour - Hour OfBedlam Hour - Corn DancesBedlam Hour - Castle of HopeBedlam Hour - My Mom Doesn’t Know I’m a Punk RockerBedlam Hour - Tear It DownVirgin Iron Pants - DranoheadBedlam Hour - ContactBedlam Hour - Re: GenerationBedlam Hour - Frankenberry MoshVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week's episode is another crossover episode. Much like GGHT73 with The Rooster and Queen City Rejects, part one of this episode can be heard on another podcast! Before we recorded this episode I was the guest on Imvibes Podcast season 4 episode 3 (titled The Crossover), so go listen to that one before or after mine! This week, me and my guests are Eric Milatz and Ernest Stevenson talk about how their podcast recently lost some members, their beginnings in music (including some Polka talk!), where the podcast is heading next, and we give a lot of love to Tommy's Pub, who was gracious enough to host us for the evening.  And then we round it all out with a little jazz in the background!Imvibes: https://www.podpage.com/imvibes-podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/imvibespodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/imvibespodcastBMW Production: https://www.facebook.com/bwmproductionsTommy's Pub: https://www.facebook.com/tommyspubVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week my guest is Jeremy Radio from Thousand Dollar Movie, Four Finger Records, and Gigantic Recording Company. In addition to his current projects and sharing a lot of Charlotte love, we also talk about his history in music and other bands such as Tighty Whities, The Raineers, and Public Radio, punk rock/DIY ethos, our shared love for The Simpsons, and we bring up Mike Watt a few times as well. Thousand Dollar Movie: https://thousanddollarmovie.bandcamp.com/Four Finger Records: https://sites.google.com/view/fourfingerrecordshttps://www.facebook.com/fourfingerrecordsGigantic Recording Company: https://www.instagram.com/giganticrecordingco/Public Radio: https://publicradio.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-without-youCrenshaw Pentecostal: https://www.facebook.com/twangandroll Songs for GGHT74:John Mark McMillan - Re-enchantment WorldThe Raineers - Menthol LightsPublic Radio - What’s Gotten Into You?Bad Talk - Transient HeartThousand Dollar Movie - I Hate The Sea And Everything In ItThousand Dollar Movie - One More YearCrenshaw Pentecostal - Bad HeartThousand Dollar Movie - Central AveVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

This week I visited The Rooster to record a two part episode with not only the owner of The Rooster, but Jonny and Matt from Queen City Rejects as well! On my half of the podcast, we talk about the trials of getting The Rooster open, how things are going since opening, and about a big punk rock show happening on 3.11.23 with Queen City Rejects, No Anger Control, Self Made Monsters, Van Huskins, and Y'all're! And since QCR is along for the ride on this one, we also talk about how this will be their final show! This one is filled with laughs and plenty of tangents, but we always get back to the subjects at hand! This episode is actually part two, so to hear part one, search Rooster Radio E69 wherever you listen to podcasts!
