S14E33 Richie Panelli and Lucas Arizu-Chill AF
We had this weeks guest Richie Panelli on a few months back with Tha INTOXXIKATED PEDEZTRIANZ as a guest m.c. and he had to bail early. We really enjoyed his style and input. So we booked him for a full show. Richie has been working on his music for years and has many facets to his work. Different approaches depending on the situation. Battle raps, party bangers or chill vibe freestyle with ethereal looped guitar by Lucas who works with many high level musicians like the Reno Philharmonic, the Reno Jazz Orchestra, Whitney Meyer and Jelly Bread just to name a few. Lucas is always playing and he himself is just as chill and relaxed as Richie. That’s the flavor we got, and we love it.
Richie has a new album Sunshine coming out soon and Richie says this one is a full expression of his voice that he’s developed and honed from years of experience. You can find him at Richie Panelli music on all platforms.
We have a great round of the quiz and Nick plugs the 20th anniversary of Marianarchy fest this weekend at Cypress and Alturas here’s the plan clan:

S14E32: Sandall & Poune – Double D’s
This week on the pod, Dale Poune and Doug Sandall bring their high desert blues music to the Dogwater Studios. Both guys play acoustic guitar, both take turns singing songs and Doug plays the harmonica like Magic Dick from the J Geils Band.
Dale plays with Lacy J Dalton (including at the Grand Ole Opry!) and tours with Doug all over, like from Phoenix Arizona all the way to Tacoma, if you dig. Dale also teaches music at the High Desert Prison in Susanville and has real life tales in his songworks. As does Doug, who we had on a few seasons back as a solo artist. They joined up shortly after that and it’s been off to the races.
They treated us to several blues numbers and the stories behind them. Sandall and Poune are an open book, and the songs reflect their truth, booze, mistakes, women, regrets and self-respect. They have a great chemistry and they’re funny and genuine. You can find them on SoundCloud where you can check out songs from Dale’s classes as well their originals and be their friends on Facebook and Instagram.
Thanks for listening. Life is short and we love you.
S14E31 Feral Heart- Kat’s in the Cradle
This week’s guest is a familiar name, the fantastic Kat Heart on guitar and voice and her new trio with one of our heroes from the Atomiks, Luke Hoffman on standup bass and newcomer to the Dogwater studios, Erick Graham on drums. They are called Feral Heart, and they click man.
We talk about how they formed, what they think of each other, their kismet connection to John Popper and his fiancé Gidget, opening for Grace Potter and Kat’s upcoming show at Alturas this Friday with Roxxy Collie and Bang Marry Kill.
Feral Heart is a soulful, groovy, slightly jazzy with a tinge of psychedelic surf vibes and the grit and passion of women like Janis Joplin and Nina Simone. At times they feel like a great bar band, the soundtrack for the high desert and sipping cocktails outside at sunset. Relaxing, interesting and always from the heart. That’s how Kat rolls. We loved having this trio of talent on the show. You can get info on all of Kat’s projects at Katheart.net and Kat’s Facebook.
See you at the show!
Life is short and we love you!
#565 S14E30 Paul Allen- Inside an Outsider
Our guest this week is a dear friend and crazy talented one man band, Paul Allen. Reno indie acoustic outsider storyteller music with lyrics that are sometimes stark and bleak, humorous, trippy & a little heartbreaking .
Paul has released his home recordings on Bandcamp and SoundCloud with Paul playing guitar and drums and double tracking his voice for a hypnotic listening experience. Taking it all in is a delight to the senses.
There’s something deeply authentic in the exposition of the absurdity and emotional frustrations that we’re all living through , reported on in such a direct and unique style. Elliot Smith, Daniel Johnston, even the lyrics and tales of Devo come to mind. It’s a beautiful world for you.
Paul is a great artist, and we loved having him on.
Nick shares his live music packed weekend and reviews Kevin Smith’s new flick.
Reverend Rory made it to the show for a second week in a row, a rare treat these days. Thanks Rev!
We love you Reno! We love you worst little listeners!
Thanks for your support!
S14E29 Mr. Johnson & His Loaded Dice: Honky Tonk & Dick Jokes
Blast off with the OG WLP cast from the past, into the Wild Wild West with Mr. Johnson & His Loaded Dice. Zack Johnson on guitar and vocals, standup bassist JP Hogfat, man of (lap) steel Jonah Winchester, and Luci Inferno providing the heat of the beat.
Known for covering the Misfits in a western honky tonk style, the band’s original songs are just as infectious, hooky and spooky.
They’re always out on the road with 58 scheduled shows this year alone. All that playing has made this band super tight and able to deliver 4 hours of music if needed. Primarily a country act, the band crosses over to punk and rockabilly fans with ease.
You can find their upcoming shows and information on their facebook and instagram pages.
We talk about the Davis fire which at time of writing is still 0% contained. The band and Reverend Rory tell us about their ordeals with it and the community coming together for those affected.
It was another great reunion for the original hosts, and another great episode of fantastic music.
This weekend’s hot show is Sassabration in Carson City!
Hopefully we’ll see you there.
Thanks for listening.
Life is short and we love you.
S14E28: Hungry Like DeWolfe
This week’s guests are young Renoites who play Americana pop punk, new to the scene but steadily growing a grassroots fan base.
They’re fun. They might be singing about let’s say, the end of the world, but their sound feels like a happy summer jam.
Jesse Green (Cryptillians former drummer) heads up the band on guitar and vocals as well as primary song writer. Collin Logan on bass, Noah Petersen on guitar and Robby Davis on drums. Studious and easy going guys who love to play. They’re a tight unit with chemistry, musically and as friends.
They have a great sense of humor and with their podcast debut they of course play a neck and neck round of the worst little quiz. The middle school stories are top notch.
DeWolfe is playing the Shoe Tree Brewery in Carson City this Saturday September 6th and day one of Marianarchy XX at Cypress Music Hall Friday October 11. You can find them on Instagram @DeWolfeband and their YouTube channel.
We welcome Chewie back from his hiatus, discuss the end of our hot streak as RN&R’s readers best local podcast, revel in our 2nd place win and Nick recaps the Nowhere Nevada 10 year anniversary show. Thanks DeWolfe for a great episode and thank you dear listeners for being here.
Life is short and we love you.
S14E27 Nowhere Nevada 10 Year Anniversary! -Spoilers!
This week Nick and Dogwater Dick talk about the film Nowhere Nevada. A locally made feature length movie written by Marianne “Marianarchy” Psota, turn of the century Reno arts and music promoter, writer, muse and conduit.
Eight years after her passing the script was given to David Richards who, with the help of over 100 Northern Nevadans, directed what would become 2014’s best feature film at the San Francisco Global Movie Festival.
In celebration of the ten-year anniversary of the win, we hear tracks featured in the movie, by Max Volume, Andy Luna with Seasons of Insanity, Mister Vague, Los Pistoleros and The Shames, and the guys share memories and insights from working on the film. Rick produced over half the music in it and Nick had several contributions including music director and producer.
This episode is full of movie spoilers. Be warned. Not too much is given away but if you want to watch Nowhere Nevada knowing nothing about it, don’t listen to this until after you’ve watched it.
It was interesting having just Nick and Rick talking to each other, one on one, in the same room. Trippy but kind of refreshing. We hope you enjoy it. Nick is hosting a screening this Saturday August 31st at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City with Reno rockers on the Nowhere Nevada soundtrack, Mark Earnest’s Vague Inc. and Los Pistoleros, before the film and a Q&A with the director and others following.
Come on out and see this crazy love letter from Marianne to the Reno music scene and the scenes love letter to her on the big screen with a fantastic Rock and Roll show to boot!
Life is short and we love you. See you at the movies!
S14E26: Anabelle & the Desert Scrubs- FOLKIN’ A!
Drummer and dad Clay, bassist and buddy, Miles and singer songwriter guitarist Anabelle, all packed up the van in Fallon and headed west to Reno and the Dogwater Studios for an another great WLP episode. This indie pop outfit was born out of Anabelle’s acoustic folk solo act that she started a mere four years ago at 12 years old.
This young lady has a beautiful voice, great tunes with both a seasoned presence and youthful exuberance. She’s driven. Her dad is her drummer, chaperone and driver. He’s super proud of his daughter and supports her dreams.
Anabelle’s homie Miles is new to the band and is still working out the kinks, but Clay assured him he is the man for the job.
We get the backstory, a few songs and a PG13 quiz.
They are playing this weekend’s Cantaloupe Festival in Fallon, Friday from 5:30-7pm. You can find them on Facebook and Instagram.
For a great up and coming songbird checkout Anabelle and the Desert Scrubs.
We hope you have a rocking week!
Life is short and we love you. Thanks for listening.
#560 S14E25 THA INTOXXIKATED PEDEZTRIANZ: Rock, Rap & Feztivalz
We’re back and live in the studio with rap rockers INTOXXIKATED PEDEZTRIANZ with Jordan Huss “Rellik 444” (MC and screamer), Johnny Fernandez (Evil Ash) guitar, Jimmy Guthrie (Machine Gun Vendetta) guitar,
Dubl‘Z (MC) and featuring Reno hip hop legend Richie Panelli (MC) who came in for his collab with TIP.
These dudes tear up the rock rap game. High energy, hard riffs with psycho beats and clever word play. Topics like Reno history, family ties, and of course getting fucked up.
They have a stage show full of chaos and debauchery, tight performances too big for a bar band. Tha Pedz have their eyes on outdoor festival stages where they have more room to release their musical fury. They will be playing PigFest in Dayton September 14 and are looking forward to the rocking lineup and camp out.
Nick reminds everyone about the upcoming Nowhere Nevada 10 year anniversary screening and rock show with Mark Earnest’s Vague Inc. and Los Pistoleros Saturday August 31st at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City.
Rick shares his grief over the loss of Pongo. Still hurts. We love you buddy. It gets easier with time. We’re all missing our good boy. Woof. So, join us for another wild episode of the worst little podcast. Keep on rocking and remember, life is short, and we love you! Thanks for listening.
S14E24 United Defiance: 20 Years and Forward
This week we have a special zoom call with lead singer and guitarist of United Defiance, Clinton Smith. Zooming in from Crockett California just a few miles away from most of his bandmates and rehearsal studio, Clinton shares his tales of being a lifelong punk rocker, 20 years with UD and his other band he plays drums with System 86.
In fact we get a couple tracks from them and United Defiance. You can find them on all the usual platforms.
Both NorCal punk bands play Reno often and most notably Reno Punk Rock Flea Market events. Thanks Kim!
Driving and positive with an emphasis on moving ever forward, through the ups and downs. Especially the downs and the growth that can come from them. Great talk, fun quiz too!
Kim gives you the hot shows coming up and Nick recaps the first night of Nowhere Nevada’s 10th Anniversary Screening. There will be a second screening in Carson City August 31st at the Brewery Arts Center. Also, sadly we say goodbye to Pongo. Rick and Carlos, from everyone, sorry for your loss. We will miss you Pongo. You truly were a good dog.
Ah technology, thank you for making this possible. Thank you, Clinton, United Defiance and System 86, for another great episode. Thank you cast and crew. Thank you, worst little listeners, life is short, and we love you.
