When buying vans we always stayed away from other churches. The non-profits that were selling vans only did so because they weren’t getting used. The sitting never did them any favors, so they were dependably broken when pressed into regular service. Lack of money and the need for a dependable van is a tough square to Read more

It’s true. When I was at it with my last band it was just a constant battle to attract a label. Then when we did, we broke up. We were destined to break up anyway. This was in the early 2000's so things were different. Read more

Seth Myers band is called the 8-G band and while it does have a guy from Les Savy Fav in it,they are not the house band. It’s actually kind of a supergroup of 90's indie bands. Eli Janney from Girls Against Boys is the keyboard player. The drummer seems to change a lot. Read more

In all seriousness, if I ever do any kind of touring again, I’m going to buy a used armored bank truck for hauling the gear. That, or a van that looks so sketchy even the lowest thief fears touching it will cause infections. Read more

Dude! Awesome. Thank you for the thorough response. It was interesting trying to figure out the type of music you played as I was reading through your equipment. I’m actually on your Spotify and Band Camp(s) now digging through stuff (really cool and diverse btw. Kudos on that). I’m listening to D/C now. Awesome Read more

I was just poking (at Obuchowski). All of you look young to my old ass and I was just shakin’ my finger at clouds ( and whippersnappers) by pointing out the editorial staff’s youth.

Come to think of it, it’s really impressive what you all do every fircken day at any level, much less when you Read more

We had our van and trailer torn apart by border agents every time we crossed. The level of harassment and scare tactics is insane. We never acquired the proper paperwork to play shows in Canada.. so we always said we were going to record an album in a home studio of a friend. Read more

Loved it. Keep up the great work! (Also I would love to see the quest to the modern day underdog being solved in an upcoming episode) Read more

I was lucky enough to tag along on a few tours with a local ska band in the late 90s when I was 19- 20ish. Waking up in a new city or state everyday was amazing. We were 6 guys in a 1991 Dodge 15 passenger van towing a trailer. I didn’t play anything but helped with driving, setup, tear down, and sold merch while they Read more
