What started as a casual chat turned into a pretty unfiltered episode - and we loved every minute! Lexi talks Spaced’s origins, her key influences, and we discuss the highs and headaches of touring as a woman.PS: We have a new Logo! After 3 years it was time for a little makeover. Let us know what you think.

Matt Andrews, FOH for Knocked Loose, pulled up to talk shop.In just a few years, he went from a rocky start to hitting milestone after milestone in live audio — proving that the right opportunity can change everything.We also dive into his recipe for the perfect snare bomb and why not being an asshole might be one of the most important skills in this industry.

He’s a legend in the punk world. From wearing many hats with NOFX to pushing faders for names like Green Day and more recently LS Dunes — his journey behind the boards is nothing short of iconic.In this episode of On The Roadcast, we dive into the shift from analog to digital and swap some of our biggest live sound “oopsies”!These days, he’s slowing things down a bit — early mornings, yoga classes, a different rhythm… but it looks like the road isn’t done with him just yet. His son Oliver might already be carrying that torch.

What a great conversation with Matt Horn! 🥁Millions of people follow his authentic behind-the-scenes drum and tour content, where he shares what life is really like working as the drum tech for Luke Holland of Falling in Reverse.In this episode, we talk about how he got his start in the music industry, his early days as a touring drummer, and the path that eventually led him to working massive shows around the world today.🎧 Tune in if you’re curious about the touring world, drum tech life, and what really happens behind the stage.Bonus: You’ll also find out where to get the best Mexican food in Arizona. 🌮

OTRC AUDIO TALK with Rory „Roadie“ Doherty.In this episode, we dive into the classic live sound debate: Monitors vs. FOH.Which role is more challenging? Which one is more fun? And which one only seems easier?Having worked extensively in both positions, Rory shares his perspective from the trenches of live sound — along with a few practical mixing hacks picked up along the way.

Listen Up Audio Nerds! In this new podcast section, Conni dives deep into the world of live sound with touring pros from across the globe.Kicking things off is none other than Joey Diehl — an audiophile mixing massive stadium shows for artists like Benson Boone.

It only takes us three questions to figure out if somebody’s been on tour before: Do groupies exist? 💋 Have you stepped in v0mit or other body fluids? 🤢 Has anybody ever eaten or dropped your labeled food (RIP, delicious peach yoghurt)? 🚫​Clearly, our friend and coach bus logistics manager of choice Moosi Moosbrugger (IG @moosi_arts) has a sophisticated answer to all of the above and has more than proved, YES, he’s got a whole bunch of tours under his belt.Moosi’s come a long way from kicking off his career without a bus driver’s permit back in the day and will share some tips (smokers, make sure to listen to this one! 🚬) , insights and memories of the past years.We want to hear your thoughts!

What do Dropkick Murphy’s, Cannibal Corpse and Coheed & Cambria have in common?They have great taste in audio engineers and have been on tour with the man, the myth, the legend:Pete Robertson! ⭐​(Btw has anybody told him he’s going to be part of the most chaotic - yet insanely hilarious IOHO - podcast ever? 😱​😱​😱​)Pete works as a FOH and studio audio engineer and has been turning knobs on desks for a really looong time. 🎛️🎤Being the personification of a story book, he’s got countless incredible anecdotes to share, like an encounter with a police officer while speeding in uhm… a very feminine outfit? 🧔‍♀️​Trust us when we say this is only slightly scratching the surface of a load of insane narratives! 📖Watch Pete's cameo in Coheed & Cambria’s video “A favor house atlantic” here 👇https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRWjLLpwnOMWe want to hear your thoughts!

The girls are back in town, baby! 👩🏻​👩🏼​​👩🏼‍🦰Everybody give a warm welcome and round of applause to our kick-🍑 tour photographer and merch manager friend Sarai (@photosbysarai). 🙏Sarai had been out with Stick To Your Guns on their “Keep planting flowers”-tour  just a bunch of weeks ago and didn’t even hesitate when being asked if she wanted to have some 👏​real 👏​ talk about the touring life, the biz and our aspirations of finally getting our life together by making our own sour bread dough. (Yes, for real). 🍞Long runs, busses breaking down (spontaneous cross-loads, anyone? Yay!), messed up sleep schedules for life, how to get a foot in the industry door and so much more. 😎Special thanks go out to our friends at Arena Wien for having us again!

Crazy but true. We made it through this without having a “Conni’s tummy bug is acting up” incident. (Disclaimer: No furniture was harmed during the recording of this episode 💩​).Our dear, fearless friend Zach Jordan (@zachbane) took the risk of getting a special (gastroenterological) tour souvenir and sat down for a chat! And he even showered for us! 🚿Well… Zach’s definitely been in stickier and more interesting situations, like……getting mugged on tour, maybe? 💀​💀​💀​…or finding a huge bonfire made of 🥬​ at a venue?Being a guitarist for BANE and the tour manager for STICK TO YOUR GUNS (and many more), Zach truly is the man of a 1000 stories. Lucky us, he shared quite a few bangers in the newest episode of On the RoadCast. 😍We want to hear your thoughts!

Sorry, guys. 😢​ We simply had no other choice than… …spend our last hard earned tour bucks (and future retirement fund) on plane tickets to escape the cold and dismal Viennese winter. Thankfully we found shelter in Conni’s new influencer hacienda on the Canary islands. 🙏​🙏​​​🙏 ​​​#gaycation2025 🌈​ Picking up where we left off in our last release, we’ll take a peek at our upcoming tour schedules and finish part two of our 1:1 episode with another round of Q&A. We’ll see you again in a couple of weeks - after finishing our internal PGA tour and trying to get a crispy tan. 🍗​ If you love what we do, feel free to leave a ⭐​⭐​⭐​⭐​⭐​ review.

We got him hooked on JUMPY'S! Lewis MacRae, vocalist of UK-based metalcore four-piece RITUALS joined us in the podcast van for a hilarious episode which is all about the snacks!!! Right after touching down in Austria for their short tour alongside UP CLOSE, the guys visited the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum (where Conni might or might not touched Arnie's d*ck..) and took a deep dive into Austrian culture. If you want to know more about Lewis' scottish heritage and his family castle (?!) or the bands biggest highlight so far: playing Download Festival this summer, listen to this brand new episode!

We love this woman.  Funny, smart and the voice of an angel. It’s PÄM!!  She started out as a merchandise manager for TURBOBIER and now she is building her career as a singer and songwriter, while working a day job and using her social media platform to inspire women and encourage them to be who they are.  Nothing can stop her... not even almost freezing to death while trying to pee and falling into a river in Switzerland?  Keep an eye out for this one because PÄM has big plans. 

Spoiler alert: this episode features a really cute dog, so we highly recommend watching it :D It's all about STRESS! Running his own (stress-)studio, working as a tourmanager for SEILER & SPEER, mixing shows for bands like BOYSETSFIRE or touring as a guitarist with his own Punk Rock band ANTIMANIAX.. TOM ZWANZGER never takes a break! Check out this mildly stressful but super funny episode with our whirlwind of a friend Tom and his dog Panzer.

This guy is CRACKING us up. Pun intended. This year Mike and his band DeeCRACKS will celebrate 20 years of punk rock history with a big festival at Arena Vienna. (Nov 17th & 18th 2023) ...and it was quite the journey. Including eleven different bassists (Vicky already put in her application to be number twelve). From being banned from the United States of America for a lifetime to making it big in Japan and how their approach has changed over the years - don't miss this super funny episode :)

This episode is HOT!!  ..and not only because of the people in it!  While building his hot sauce empire „TOM’S HOT STUFF“, Tommy Hlatky also drums in various punk rock bands like DEADENDS and A GUY NAMED LOU. His stories about touring in Japan are hilarious!Have you ever heard about an OWL CAFÈ? (..and even better, a HIGHLAND COW CAFÈ?)    Listen and find out more! 

Is there a better place to record the first episode of season 2 than under the Italian sun in MILAN? And is there a better guest than DAVID BAQI, touring guitarist of Being as An Ocean and vocalist in Takers Leavers? Both times the answer is NO. We had such a great time chatting about moving tour memories and the importance of being a 'clutch' player in this industry. Oh and if you want to hear the story of how Conni almost died while sleeping in a Minitours van this summer (with THE SAME driver that David was touring with when we recorded this episode.. small world) TUNE IN!!!
