Does anyone out there remember Metal Shop?! No, I don’t mean the elective class you could take in high school. We’re talking the radio program that started in the 80s on the mighty KISW, Seattle’s Best Rock! That’s right, we take a trip down memory (what the hell is that?!) lane with this pandemic era… Read more »
In this action packed episode that zig zags wilder than Jim Rockford’s evasive car driving, we talk all things early Tall Toad. From Scott’s foray into immersive theater with Dan to early gear that sort of survived our manic playing styles. While more or less staying around 1989, we zoom all over the place talking… Read more »
In this, the final installment (?), we discuss the seventies KISS where they were surrounded by mystery and nobody knew what they actually looked like, and the eighties KISS where no one seemed to care anymore. Even when they announced in the mid 80s that they were going to appear without makeup, most people didn’t… Read more »
A new season AND a new theme song, with drums recorded at a distant location by the amazing Cesar Molina at Cave Rec Studio in downtown Las Vegas. Besides telling the thrilling story of how this song came to be and whatnot, we also cover our heroes aimless wanderings both alone and eventually together, narrow… Read more »
So what do you do when you’re a band on top of the world and you’ve got several platinum selling albums? You all put out solo records, of course. We discuss this weird and unexpected sidetrack in this episode of Sidetracks. From Ace’s far superior album to Gene’s sad collection of weak sounding wax. Why… Read more »
What can you say about KISS that KISS hasn’t already said? Not a lot. Or so you would think. In this new series called Sidetracks, we take a subject that we would probably get sidetracked on (hence Sidetracks) and we discuss it at length, for about 15 – 30 minutes. Thus allowing us to stay… Read more »
The first half of this episode finds our heroes joking and laughing like a couple of ridiculous fools. Basically it’s the same old hilarity. Talking about parachute pants, various hairstyles we thought would have been cool (had they turned out like our lofty dreams were picturing), and the usual goofy-ass stories we found funny and… Read more »
In this episode we talk about concerts in the 80s, among other subjects. These include attempts to see Ozzy, a lackluster Judas Priest performance, another Maiden gig, and the infamous Metallica show in ’86 where our friend Vince … maybe you should listen to the story. Find out if we were able to get backstage,… Read more »
Imagine if we were able to actually make the movie we wanted to make. Part Magical Mystery Tour, part something-even-stranger, Wind Gods was supposed to be an odyssey, a road trip if you will. But that isn’t the only thing we talk about, not by a long shot. We talk more about our first songs,… Read more »
Hey, why is there a picture of a rock over there? Does it signify how much we rocked? Or some other corny euphemism? In Episode 1.7, we talk about that (I’ll tell you now, it’s Fossil Rock) and many other things that center around our years in Yelm. Why, you ask? Well, why not, I… Read more »
