Welcome back worst little listeners! This week we catch up with local legend DJ Max Volume! Also known as Glenn Bailey, Max is a fixture on all things Reno and rock. So of course we discuss the recent Hawk fires, his new album “Ramsdell” with band members
Vince Gates on guitar, Mike Bellione on bass and Eric Olivas on the drums.
we hear a few tracks from “Ramsdell” and Max plays some of his favorites from Reno groups past and present, like Rigorous Proof, The Virons, Lavish Green and The Voodoo Cats.
It was a great hang and the time flew by.
Max will be at Recycled Records this Saturday for the release of Ramsdell on vinyl. Noon to 2pm.
Now officially a five timer, we can’t wait to do another one with Max! Thanks for the music, stories and for being a positive reliable voice in Reno, Max.
Congrats on the new record!
Life is short and we love you!
This week we’re joined by 3 piece Rockabilly Surf band The Reno DeVilles. Chris Chops on guitar, Kenny on stand up bass and Jason on drums.
We chat about new tiki bar and venue Pele Uto, individual members years on the scene and they take the worst little quiz with a round of Good Song Bad Song to boot! Whew doggy! We had a hoot and a holler, rockin’ and rollin’ with a Reno AF trio of hard working homeboys supplying original jams and reimagined covers from multiple genres hits and classics to bars and venues all over the northern Nevada region.
The Reno DeVilles are authentic guys who just love what they do and, in our opinion, are great representatives to include the biggest little city in their name.
You can connect with them on instagram @therenodevilles . You can find their music on all the usual platforms.
So go man go, press play and Rock this town!
Life is short and we love you.
Truckee Californias favorite punk rock flight attendants Cori Elba and her bestie Layla Moheimani are back to rock WLP with a stripped down package of highly entertaining musical stories about Cori’s life, delivered with attitude, creativity and humor for days.
We had a blast catching up and learning about Laylas other band, (also with Cori) Scan Dolls and her songs about living with cancer. These ladies are hilarious and oozing with positivity while calling out the negative. Humor and heart are always a winning combination. Add talent and drive and you start to get what they are all about. That and having all the fun humanly possible.
We laugh and vibe with the duo about an array of subjects including Waffle House, the Beatles and the Brady Bunch!
This week’s band for Good Song Bad Song is Duran Duran. Which way will Jon go? Listen to find out.
So, take off with us for another voyage to Planet Weird with Cori and Layla’s rad music and delightful spirit.
After a little summer hiatus we are back with three of the seven member band Bark Hardly. Eclectic indie folk music might be a good description.
Present: Henry on acoustic and vocals, Maddie vocals (and trombone at the shows?!) Joe plays bass, but just came to talk.
Absent band members: Nico drummer, Dalton piano, Cornelius lead git and Brandon on saxophone.
We hear an acoustic performance and recorded tracks, including a touching tribute to Bruce Lindsay, Henry’s dad and dear friend of Nick and Rory.
That’s right folks, Thee Reverend Rory Dowd came in this week to recap his weekend with the family at the Mosswood Meltdown music festival in Oakland with a bunch of rock and roll hosted by WLP’s spirit animal, the pope of trash, John Waters!
We’re all over the place as usual. Shakespeare on the lake, clown hotels in the desert and songs about life and the world are just some of the topics we touch on this week.
For our usual fun and games we play the worst little quiz and Good Song Bad Song. Lots of laughs and insight for sure.
A great time was had by all!
Thanks for listening.
We are back and this week we are joined by someone who many would call the dark queen of the Reno scene, an eclectic music club DJ and Recycled Records superstar Kat Blank! She gives us tracks from local killers Spitting Image, Whatitdoarchive, Clarko, the Colin Ross Band and a classic from Tex Williams. It was great to get to hangout with Kat and get her take on all things Reno and music.
Some subjects covered include, Dogwater Dicks longtime friendship, the record store and its many locations throughout the years and a very touching story involving Alice Cooper.
We play a round of the worst little quiz and Good Song Bad Song featuring Eddie & the Cruisers.
It was an amazing time full of laughs, music, Reno nostalgia and fun.
Press play and enjoy an hour with Kat Blank and WLP!

This week we give everyone some insight into Jon Cornell, songwriter, keyboardist for Roxxy Collie and Glitter Bats, but you might recognize him from our segment Good Song Bad Song, where Jon gives us his opinion on classic songs.
This episode features six of Jon’s favorite local bands; all good songs, by Acrylic, The Twilight Project, The Liver Scars, Paul Allen, Stabby Unicorn, and The Grimtones.
Each tune has a story to go along with it and it made for a really fun and interesting show.
Hope you enjoy it.
This week we welcome the fabulous Kat Heart to Dogwater studios for her fifth appearance on the Worst Little Podcast.
She brought her pedals, her guitar and her telephone mic to create a layered one woman performance that feels soulful and ethereal. With a prolific drive and seemingly endless inspiration, Kat is a songwriting machine.
Kat has recently been tapped to book musicians for stages lining Reno’s Fourth street music and arts district. Hosting open mics, karaoke, shows, rehearsals with her band Feral Heart, solo work and keeping her family together, not to mention all that life throws at us. Kat can juggle all that and still find time for others, random occurrences that require discussion, some deep thinking, self-awareness, honesty and vulnerability, but most of all practicing coming from a place of love.
This is truly who Kat is. She’s a survivor and authentic. It’s been a pleasure to get to watch Kat rise and thrive.
We had a wonderful time going places we usually avoid; religion, politics and a little local hot gossip.
It’s another great episode with one of our local heroes. You can find her at katheart.net and catch her at the Nevada Museum of Art for her Loud as Folk appearance, here are some details: Meet up with friends and dance the night away with Feral Heart,

We are back and the doctors in session!
Sophia Shortz on vocals and keyboard, Jacob McCoy on guitar and vocals, also on guitar Christopher Profera, Skye Powers on bass and Quinton Bunk on drums. Together they’re collectively known as…. inpatient… the band…. outta Reno…
Yup all lower case. inpatient.
This quintet of awesome is some of our favorite new music to come out of Reno in a minute. A cool mix of garage rock, synthy new wave sonic outer space sounds that feel familiar and yet unlike anything else you’ve ever heard!
Their shows are a total blast and they have gotten even tighter since our last podcast together a year and a half ago. Their chemistry is amazing.
They recently released their debut E.P., Trauma Bond, on all platforms and are on Instagram for social connection. @inpatient.reno
We talk about everything from the recent Friends of P benefit, local bands with mad game, our GSBS band STP to high school angst and bicycle porn!
It’s a crazy fun show with a bunch of crazy fun folks.
We’re not doctors but we recommend an aural dose of inpatient.
Life is short and we love you!Thanks for listening!
