You know ’em – you love ’em – it’s THE LIVER SCARS!!!! Felix, Nick, Garrett, Todd and Ron form The Liver Scars are in the studio live and with their livers turned up to 11! You know we drink on this show, but this week was like Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day steamrolled into one.I’ll just say that I tried to hold onto some semblance of show flow or control, but with these guys… I think I gave up in the first segment.

Felix – Screams

Nick Ramirez, bass player for the Liver Scars, a Reno NV punk rock band, squinting like Popeye and holding a beer

Nick – Bass

What can I say about the Liver Scars that wouldn’t be incredibly incriminating? Besides the fact that they truly are one of my favorite bands, ever and currently…. Um…. Felix remained conscious throughout the entirety of the show! Ron has a Napoleon thing going on. Garrett and Milton Berle have a lot in common. Todd gets redfaced REALLY quickly. And, yes, Nick really is just always that spacey.

Garret – Guitar

You will want to check out The Liver Scars on their Facebook page and at their Upcoming show opening up fo D.R.I. at Jub Jub’s! This show is crazy and off the rails and I really don’t remember what happened after the beer boxes came out. (That’s why this post is short.) Whole episode is a bit of a blur. I think a mason jar of whiskey was involved. Shudder.

MFFM!

The Worst Little Podcast -S5 E4

Can you git up wit’cha git down? We got Failure Machine on with us this week. That’s right, the (second) triumphant return of our beloved FIRST production assistant, Spencer Kilpatrick and his bandmates, Clinton Philbin, Harry Mahony and Zac Curtis. I know – I hear your surprise – there are now FOUR members of Failure Machine, because they added a horn section (there’s actually about to be five, but the bassist isn’t official yet, so fuck him).

We also take a call form a representative for PostWar. Francis? Frederick? Franklin? Don’t know the guy, was really confusing, possibly on drugs. Luckily, PostWar frontman, Sutafe Bogale, came homand saved us from a trainwreck of a phone call. They have a show TONIGHT at The Knitting Factory with Bluff Caller and Cad Bane. You should chekkit out!

The Machine

If you have to wait for the weekend for your party time, don’t forget to check out Failure Machine at St. James Infirmary Friday night, with The Letters Home (LA) and Hungry Skinny (SF)! Good ol’ Spencer says it’s gonna be a wild rockin’, foot tapppin’ dancin’ kind of night!

Harry Mahony, Sax for Failure Machine, smiling right at camera, close up

The Saxyness

I would be remiss if I did not mention the addition – nay! the doubling of members of the band since last we saw them. Failure Machine has added a horn section! I like to affectionately call them “The Hairy Sac Blowers”, but Harry Mahony and Zac Curtis seemed to be less than thrilled. Fuck them too then, It’s my show. Nice guys, though.

Zac Curtis, trumpet for Failure Machine, smiling for the camera

“I like to blow things!”

At any rate, Thanks For Listening!

Heya heya heya! It’w a wonderful day on the internet! We have a freaking GREAT episode for you this week. Not only do we have the talents of the superb, Mason Frey, Reno singer and musician, but we also are sporting The Return of Zomboo!!! That’s right, Reno’s favorite latenight horror movie show host is back with us in studio!

Zomboo, noted Reno late night horror movie host, with fangs and a skull candlestick

Who wants to listen to a scaaary podcast?

Zomboo’s House of Horror is still going, but has hit a bit of a snag. The show has been bumped from 11pm PST on Fridays to 2am PST on Saturdays! Booooo! He needs closed captioning to be ADA compliant with the FCC. Closed Captioning is really freaking expensive – more expensive than the movies! So, Zomboo and his team of ghouls are putting together a fundraising plan to get the ball rolling and get omboo back on before the witching hour! Listen to the great behind-the-scenes interview in the middle of the show. Stay tuned to the website or facebook page to keep abreast of the details – and buy stuff.

Mason Frey, Reno guitarist, musician and singer, wearing a tuxedo and smiling while holding a guitar

Mason Frey – possibly born on a crossroads

Our other guest is Mason Frey. Fuck that kid. Fuck him and all the stinking talent and charm and personability that fit into that tuzxedo. Mason sings like an angel and plays guitar like a deal with the devil. He treats us to a few originals and a sweet cover of Graham Parson’s “She”. We happened to catch him in a tux because he’s just that kind of James Bond cool. Lots of fun to talk to, Mason has a great outlook and take on the Reno music scene.

That’s my time – thanks for listening!

Hope you enjoyed your Groundhog’s Day! More on that later. Joining us once again are the maniacal talents of Small Drawings, a Reno NV rock duo. Drew Ernhout (vocals and guitar) and Mike Smalski (drums) sat down with us again, now that they have been salted – nay! After THEY have salted the town and the scene! A band firmly in their own niche and corner, Small Drawings has gotten to share stages with some of the best bands in Reno and are carving out their own following.

Mike Smalski has a similar mustache and long hair to that of Doug Henning

Mike Smalski or Doug Henning

Before we get sown and dirty with Small Drawings, we put in a call to our good friends, KARMA, who are out on the road on their big big 2015 US Tour. Coincidentally enough, they happened to be in Lafayette, Louisiana, hanging out at Heffe’s Saloon, a fine fine establishment run by Mitch, a buddy of the Reverend’s. They say the bar was good. We’ll have to wait to hear what the bar thinks about them.

Drew Ernhout of Small Drawings has a similar creepy look to Rick Mayall in Drop Dead Fred

Drew Ernhout or Rick Mayall

OK – really – Mike is awesome – just listen to the quiz; but Drew, Drew is a fucking lunatic. He’s the kid that eats paste and then turns it into a poignant diorama about the translation of the color blue into ham. You can catch all their insanity at a show this weekend. Teaming up with Man Downstream and The Tides, Small Drawings will be playing a show at Holland Project this Friday night at 8pm. That is a sick and twisted and AWESOME lineup. Unfortunately, that conflicts with First Friday with Reverend Rory at the Foxy Olive, featuring Paul Allen, noted Reno recluse. You should go to that.

Anyways, thanks for listening.

Welcome to the next level, superfans!! It’s the start of a whole new season! Connor Martin, Gary Day, Gabe Day, John Bigby and Tyrus Legg from Victims of the Cave invade Dogwater Studios in its final days and blast through a great podcast with the guys. Everyone but Rev. Rory – who legit had the flu and is still sick RIGHT NOW as he laboriously types this up.

John Bigby with flames underneath him, sticking his tounce through a 'v' shape in his fingers

John Bigby – yes, the one you were warned about

Connor Martin - with a firework on his finger

Largely a bunch of Reno boys, this metal band has been active in the Reno/Sparks metal and hardcore scene for a few years and are getting a lot of great exposure and some following – that will change as soon as this episode leaks, but good luck to ’em anyway! Thoughtful and polite, they are fine upstanding citizens This bunch of foulmouthed motherfuckers were a lot of fun to talk to. How do I know this? because I actually listened to the whole show! That’s how I know Gary broke the Namaste Meter and Chewie was fucking with my sound effects and doing them all wrong!

Gabe Day with a speech bubble saying 'Fail" and pointoing at the camera

Gabe Day has a message for you

Gary Day with smoke coming out of his nose and a caption reading 'wasted'

Gary Day – yes, this is totally shopped, Gary’s mom, teacher or P.O.

I’m still sick, like I said and am totally over this. But I do love you all. Check out Victims of the Cave if you are into the METAL BANDS! Because they are Metal As Fuck, representin’ Reno NV

Here we are at the last episode of Season 4. Wow. That’s a statement I never though I’d make. For this momentous occasion, we are joined by TWO wonderful guests for one great episode. We have PJ Ruprecht and Emily Reese with us to round out the season. PJ Ruprecht is new to Reno, but a fantastic talent to have on board, having stunned Reno open mic nights for the last few months. Not hard with his background, as you’ll see.

This was not what he expected.

On the other hand, we also have Emily Reese, a public speaker, writer and teacher at Rainshadow Academy. Also a mother of three and two-time cancer champion, Em brings her own amazing stories to the table on the show this week. There are lots of surprising things about this long-time friend of many of us on the show.

In other news, Intern “Good Girl” gets to user her real name of Jamie; Honky is not quite there yet; Nick has a bunch of shows; Rev. Rory will have Girl Scout cookies soon; Chewie is somewhere else; Rick is going to be recording; and Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Sometimes, even doing something for the love gets frustrating and turns into a grind. Then punk rock happens and everything feels better. End of the Line comes into the studio and kicks a little insensible sense back into our heads this week. End of the Line, a Reno punk rock band, is Milton Bradshaw, Bre Fretz and Rich Davies. They’re yell-y, crass, irreverent, offensive and totally wonderful.

Rich Davies with a visual effect on his face.

Rich has a face for radio!

Playing in this particular lineup for a fairly short time, End of the Line has been making a mark and is gaining traction in the Reno music scene in recent months. We had a late cancellation and they made the time to swoop in and fill the show this week on short notice, which always puts points up on the big board. They lay down a handful of tunes for us and bang out some old school. “Hippie Chick” is a standout tune, as is “Lovesong”… really… enjoy!

Bre Fretz, pointing at the mic

Bre thinks WLP is Number 1!

Milton Bradshaw smiling greatly.

A Milton Lisa smile?

Also in the house is man-about-town, and good friend of the show, Dave Masud. Dave stopped by to plug his upcoming event, Skate Jam 2015, hosted in the showroom at Jub Jub’s Thirst Parlor. The event will be all-ages, featuring bands, skate ramps, contests, raffles, SKATE RAMPS, prizes, food, drinks, SK8 RAMPZ and 12 BANDS!! Dave is workin’ hard to keep punk rock and skating alive for the people who really matter – the freakin kids. So, go to Skate Jam. For the kids. And Dave.

Dave Masud with patterned lights around him.

It’s Dr. Dave! Hi, Dr. Dave!

Nick, Rory, Chewie and Rick talk about “Tooth of Crime“, kids, shows and a bunch of other crap. Lots of awesome shows coming up.
Anyhoo… thanks for Listening!

It’s good to be back! We started to miss you! Opening up the new year and helping us close down the old season, THE ENUCLEATORS join us for some solid facemelting. Dan Steinmetz, Kris Prater and Jimmie Jones make up this new band full of old dogs.

Kris Prater from The Enucleators smiling enthusiastically

Excited Kris

While they’ve only been around for a few months, The Enucleators have consistently impressed audiences every time they play. They have a tight chemistry and were a very insightful bunch of guys to chat with. They are looking to get in some studio time and put down the catalog of music they already have down.

Spent Dan

Reverend Rory and Nick are also positively ELATED to announce that they have been cast in “Tooth of Crime: Second Dance“, a theatrical musical experience by Sam Shepard. Described as “Reno’s Environmental Rock Experience of the Year” and “the most dangerous play you’ll See this year”, “Tooth of Crime” is brought to you by Jub Jub World Productions, directed by Dave Richards and will be staged in the showroom. Other cast members include Lew Zaumeyer, Jill Marlene, Andy Luna, Scott Dundas and John Lutz; Live music from Chris Fox, Dave Masud and Jeff Done ; the crew also features other Reno theater heavyweights. 10 shows, 100 seats, so viewing is limited. Check out the Facebook site for details.

Suave Jimmie

So to sum up – Happy Happy; go see The Enucleators; check out “Tooth of Crime”; shake Reno up. Oh! and come to Studio on 4th tonight for the Happy Birthday David Bowie event for a lot of great covers, including The Rev’s version of “Modern Love”.

Thanks for Listening.
