#575 S14E40: Murdering Whore- Executing Plans
Our guests this week are a new duo on the scene from lifelong Renoites, powerhouse singer Kelly Proud (Almond Mocha Music) on keyboard, and funky drummer Adrian Rodriguez (Doctors of Feel Good).
Taking their name from a Facebook comment, their goals are to get people laid and kill every performance.
They live next door to each other making for frequent rehearsals and jams keeping their music tight.
They’re having fun and are ready to tear up 2025.
They will be performing this Friday at 5pm for the Sparks Christmas tree lighting ceremony. They’re going under the name No L’s All Bells for this clean family friendly performance. Then Friday Dec 20 you can catch them at Shims throwing a 3-hour dance party with all the highly sexual (dirty) songs.
Murdering Whore were charming and funny and very talented. Keep them on your radar.
Life is short and we love you. Thanks for listening.
S14E39 Chewie’s Thanksgiving Show: All the Way to Susanville
This week we reminisce with the original cast and Starfish the intern for a cozy episode with friends and music from Chewie’s archive. He put together a show with bands on a 30-year-old flier for a barn burner in Susanville featuring 5 bands from Reno: Loadstar(exclusive for our Patreon members, patreon.com/worstlittlepodcast) who actually broke up right before the show and didn’t play, Dirty Steve, Orange Peel, Sprout and Werm. 90’s Reno punk and alternative rock groups.
We take turns being ungrateful for something and slipping in some thankfulness as well.
We’re getting close to the finish line for this season and we are all thankful for you our listeners and supporters.
Our friendship is what keeps the podcast going and we are all grateful for that.
We hope you enjoy the show and have a wonderful thanksgiving weekend.
To the music makers of Reno and beyond. Thank you.
Life is short and we love you. Happy Thanksgiving!
S14E38: Margy Ford and Steve Barron-the Birds & the Bees
A little bird told us that the Good Luck MacBeth theatre had a fancy brunch fund raiser with music provided by Margy Ford and Steve Barron of the indie rock band Roxxy Collie. Due to an unexpected cancellation, their drummer and our host, Nick, thought it would be wonderful to hear one of his favorite acoustic duos, since tickets to the brunch started at $100 bucks!(get the money GLM we love you!) Now we less fortunate souls can hear some of the magic performance they worked so hard on. Hard on! Hahaha!
We talk about recent events like Roxxy Collie with Annabelle Chairlegs from Austin TX , Larry Cooper’s vinyl release show and even adult bookstores. Margy and Steve give us a few rad covers and a Margy Ford original! Steve’s guitar and Margy’s vocals go together so beautifully. Seriously these two gems of the Earth on short notice dropped what they were doing and headed up to Dogwater to give us a great show. Thank you thank you! We love you Steve and Margy!
And we love you too dear listeners. Join us next week for our annual Friendsgiving episode! Life is short, see a show and hug your friends.
S14E37: acrylic – Before the Flood Of ‘97
Season 14 episode 37! In a row?! Yup, that’s right, we’re back with late nineties Reno Britpop band; acrylic! Bill Conran and Robb Russo (Luke McMullan, Neil Edwards, Chris Davis, Steve Larkins, Gabe Larkins: not present) join us for literal coffee talk, the Cure’s new album and remembering the 90’s in Reno. Bowie, Love and Rockets, Stone Roses, the Smiths, these are the influences of the mighty acrylic. We get four songs from the band who should win Reno’s most unique local band of 1998. They played with the Killers before they blew up. Great double bill. Legendary.
We had a blast from the past catching up with dear friends Will and Robb from the wayback. AND! Reverend Rory made it in to host this very special episode, recapping his two days at the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market’s: Fleas the Season event as master of ceremonies Krampy Santa or something like that. Props to everyone at RPRFM and our favorite gal pal Kadillac Kim for another fantastic 2-day flea featuring mad talent from the area and beyond. Way to kick off the holidays Reno!
So hop in the time machine with us and hear of days of yore before the internet was a thing. Blue Lamp, Area 51, Planet 9, the Zephyr (not the Z bar, your dad’s Zephyr) Classic Reno. Enjoy. Thanks for listening. Hug your friends.
S14E36 Glitter Bats- Pod Macabre!
t’s our annual Halloween show! So of course we have the spooky Reno goth rock band (the) Glitter Bats!
It’s been a whole year since we had them on. If you’re saying to yourself “isn’t that one of Nick’s bands?”, you’d be correct! Our weekly host is the drummer of the band. Lucky for us Kim and Chewbacca made it in to take up Nick’s slack.(per usual) And Zomboo is here as well!(via Rick’s drops)Spooooooky, heheheh…
Screaming Freddie Ferox tears up the vocals on the heavy songs he wrote, full of darkness, vampires, church organ macabre funhouse vibes provided by keyboard wizard Jon Cornell, movie references and samples and a little social commentary to boot. Keith Jewitt, hater of fun, lays down monstrous bass lines while young Jared Elder ‘s shredding guitar grinds and wickedly wails as Nick pounds the bat beat. Pure ear guano!
We check out several tracks from their upcoming debut album recorded right here at the haunted Dogwater studios!
We talk about the band’s year of shows and recording, changes and the future. We touch on religion, satanic panic, butt holes, death, the Eagles(scarrry!), pumpkin carving(tonight 10/30/24 at Dogwater Studios) AND the upcoming Reno Punk Rock Flea Market’s Fleas the Season event with a ton of bands, vendors and activities for the whole family happening this weekend! El Sol 1580 HYMER AVE 89431. Sure to be a scream!
We hope you have a hauntingly fun, memorable Halloween and checkout Glitter Bats music on Bandcamp,, there’s two songs there (Dormies in Aeternum and Wolves) and two more coming out on Friday! You can also check them out on YouTube on Freddie’s channel, Freddie Ferox (Murderock) or search for Glitter Bats, they’ll pop right up, then subscribe to Freddie’s channel. Checkout all his videos from his projects like Murderock and the Sonic Dead, you won’t regret it. You can also checkout Candy Apple and the Razor Blades, the band minus Nick (they got an even better guy for the job, who’s Kellen It, budumpump), doing their wicked Misfits cover group!
Life is short eeeet eeet eeet (Psycho) and we love you children of the night!
Happy Halloween y’all!
#570 S14E35 The Griefs: All in the Family
Lyric Morrow fronts The Griefs, her band with her dad, Jeremy Morrow on drums and her boyfriend Will Shamberger on guitar. Yep, that Will Shamberger from the Will Shamberger band out of Fallon. Jeremy was a guest with his band Merkin way back in season one! He has been on a couple other times as well.
Fresh and new to the scene, The Griefs are a little poppy but raw and rocking with indie-riot grrrl vibes. Sometimes surfy and sometimes heavy and kind of White Stripesish, but with cool female vocals. Sometimes Will’s guitar sounds like Joey Santiago from the Pixies. Which is rad. Jeremy keeps the beat interesting, tight and moving. Also rad. The Griefs are a cool rock group with a subtle angst and artful dynamics. Retro and modern in the same breath.
They’ve been busy playing shows this year, starting from a stage in an apple orchard in Fallon to a recent Cornell University rooftop set in New York. They’ve also been recording an album and will be playing their fifth show ever opening the night for Wolfgang from Pussy Velour’s all ages Halloween birthday bash at Midnight Coffee Roasters, Friday October 25th with a bunch of killer bands. Doors at 5:30 and the Griefs at 6pm sharp!
The next night, Saturday October 26, next week’s worst little guests, the Giltter Bats, are playing a Halloween costume party in the Cellar at Alturas with The Electric, Donkey Jaw and Hired Fun! It’s going to be a great weekend of kooky spooky oooky entertainment in the BLC.
We had a great time catching up with one of the coolest new bands we’ve had on this season. Thanks for making the trek from Fallon to be with us Griefs and thank you for being with us dear friends and worst little listeners. Life is short and we love you. Carve a pumpkin!
S14E34 Hear You Me- Fleas the Season
Our guest this week is the Reno punk rock power trio Hear You Me starring drummer Johnny, vocals, Carson on bass and Isaac on guitar and vocals. Fast and melodic, angsty and emotional. Super tight and fantastic gang vocals. In a few words, cool af. They are playing Sunday November 3rd at noon at the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market’s holiday market and show, Flea’s the Season!
Kadillac Kim gives us all the details and she brought in board member and vender layout wizard Juan, who shared his journey from vending blown glass (like Rick’s tiny flower vase, pictured below) volunteering to being on the board. You can volunteer too! They’re always looking for help and you get all the perks and behind the scenes access. Hit them up at RPRFM.org for all the info.
A terrific round of the quiz was had. And Nick recaps the 20th anniversary of Marianarchy with Rick and Kim. Epic as usual, raising a some dough for local musician Shaun Rucker. Great job Reno.Much appreciated.
Life is short and we love you! Thanks for listening.
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!
