The Pirate Satellite

The Cherry Dollface (Cherokee) is a great friend who has made a name for herself in the worlds of pin up modeling, youtube, touring and now podcasting. She is a self-made woman who has done things her way. I was so excited to be able to chat with her about the career she's had and of course, butt hugs. Enjoy!

In this episode, I sit down with John Davis (Superdrag/The Lees Of Memory) and Nick Raskulinecz (Producer) to discuss the history of Superdrag's 'In The Valley Of Dying Stars.' We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of this record. We get into everything from writing, recording, a label change, member changes and much more. Don't forget to follow The Lees Of Memory on the socials to get on board with this preorder of the 'In The Valley Of Dying Stars' vinyl reissue.

For my first episode back after a long hiatus, I am beyond excited for my guest to be my good friend, Nate Bergman! Nate and I met on Warped Tour in 2011 and have remained friends ever since. He sings for the band Lionize and most recently, has begun a solo career. We talk about all this and more on the episode, plus you're gonna hear some of Nate's incredible new music at the beginning and end of the episode. Enjoy!

Sean is a fantastic singer/songwriter, based in Nashville, TN. Sean and I got to tour together this last Spring and quickly hit it off. We sat down at the end of the tour to chat about music, life and...Dave Matthew's Band. Be sure and check out his new record, 'Secondhand Smoke' right away!

This is a short but oh so sweet episode. For episode 30, I wanted to give folks a preview of what my new record is going to sound like and also tell you more about the Kickstarter campaign I have going, which ends in just a few days! Since we've hit the goal, I start recording my new album on May 29th, with one of my best friends, Paul Moak. I can't wait to get this records into your hands and ear

Well, this is it. This is the last part of this short podcast series I wanted to do on 'Armageddon Massive' turning 20. I can't thank all the dudes enough for being willing to take a trip back and talk about something we did 20 years ago. Hopefully we'll all make music together again soon! For this last part, I got Matt Hernandez AKA Bean on the phone to discuss his thoughts on the record. He's living the good life in Maui and I'm thankful we got to reconnect for this episode. If you've followed The Dingees ever, thank you. I know we're all so proud of this record and make sure you go to The Dingees YouTube page to check out some old demos and footage from 20 years ago. Peace.

Steve Kravac is the reason 'Armageddon Massive' sounds the way it does. Not only was he the Producer, but he was also the Engineer and the Mixer. Sure...we came in with the songs, but Steve saw our vision, had his own vision and took it to a place we could have never imagined. He pushed all of us to be better players. He gave us a challenging experience in the studio and we were better because of it when we left the studio in the fall 1997. I hope you enjoy the chat Steve and I had, reflecting on this record and discussing his methods he used to get us to the place we needed to be.

Part 2! On this episode, Pegleg and I get on the phone to discuss different parts of The Dingees' 'Armageddon Massive.' Pegleg was the mastermind behind The Dingees, singer, primary songwriter and sax player. It was good to catch up with an old friend and bandmate to reflect on an album that means to much to us. Enjoy!

If you've followed me and my musical past, you know that my first touring band was called The Dingees. As of today (3/24/18), our first album turns 20! The album was called 'Armageddon Massive' and we recorded it over the course of a month in fall of 1997. This record is very important to me. It was the first "big studio" experience I had, the first label I was on and the first time a producer kicked my ass! I'm forever thankful for it and what I learned while recording this, I have taken with me through every other record I have played on. For this podcast, I gathered the other three dudes and our producer, Steve Kravac, to take a look back and chat about our experiences in making this record. For the next few days, I'll be releasing an episode with each member of The Dingees and Steve Kravac. I hope you enjoy us taking a trip down memory lane to reflect on a record so important to us. Enjoy!

Chad and I have been friends for a long time now. We've toured together, made music together and I've even helped him out with his Movie Gang nights he started in Franklin, TN. Chad and I had a great conversation about his orgins in music, inspiration, touring, Green Day and so much more. There might even be an appearance by his dog, Alf.

This is the first of many new episodes I'm calling, "Vinyl Variety Hour." I'm going to be highlighting music that I love, influenced me or that you need to know about...all from my vinyl collection! I hope you enjoy it and learn about new artists. I will still be having guests in the near future, so look forward to that.

It's that time of year! In this episode, I give you my top 10 albums of 2017. Some may surprise you, some may not. What is your top 10? Let me know by emailing me at piratesatellitepodcast@gmail.com.

If you haven't heard of Colin Rigsby, you will soon. I have no doubt that the new music he's working on will reach far and wide. His newest project is called Vesperteen and you also may know him from a great band called House Of Heroes. Colin and I sat down in my hotel room in Columbus recently, to discuss what he's up to with music, how he got started playing and writing music, what we can expect in the future from him and much more.

Jared Messing is a name you should be hearing a lot about, very soon. He just released his very first graphic novel at the Wizard World con in Nashville, Jaired has a passion for art, comics and storytelling. He's put 3 1/2 years into this new release and it's so worth your time. 'The Fate Of Terrene' is a great story and also has an accompanying soundtrack. Check out www.jaired.com to get your hard copy or check out the comic/soundtrack for free!

I've taken a long break. So, why not bring you up to speed with a 6 minute explanation...

Sorry for the 2 week delay! We're back with episode 13! My guest this week, is Jordan Pundik of New Found Glory. Jordan has been in Nashville, recording his 9th record with New Found Glory and crashed at my house to talk about all sorts of stuff. Green Day tours, Mark Hoppus calling his band, popcorn, coffee, tattooing, how we met and all sorts of other topics. Jordan has to come back for a follow up because there is so much we didn't cover. Keep your eyes peeled for album number 9, by New Found Glory!

Matty Mullins (Memphis May Fire) and I relax in his new chairs (dubbed "The Monroe") to discuss his history with the band, how he auditioned, his solo work, faith, his pomade company and so much more. Memphis May Fire's new album, 'The Light I Hold,' comes out October 28th and it's so great! I have not known Matty long, but it truly feels like we've been friends for so many years. I can't thank him enough for his friendship and taking the time to chat with me for this episode.
