S15E18 Nueva Elegancia : Los Niños Estan Bien
With Chris on guitar and vox,
Looney with the occasional vox, Yuni on Guitar and Favian slapping the Double Bass accompanied by Christian the designated mastermind, Nueva Elegancia are a musical group with traditional Mexican guitar style but I wouldn’t call them a mariachi band.
Young fellas with an average age around 20, playing the music they grew up on and creating their own niche in Northern Nevada.
We had a blast learning about the band and their brotherhood and drive.
They take the quiz and delight us with several tunes.
Nueva Elegancia are young, confident and ready to take on the world. They are on Instagram @nuevaelegancianv and available for booking shows and special events.
Thanks for listening!
Life is short and we love you
S15E16- Matt Bushman & Ford Goodman – Good Bush, Man
Ford Goodman joins us speaking about his crowd funded and nonprofit organization to bring professional live music performances to the people. From forthesong.org :” The “For The Song” Fund has been established by local Patrons and the ArrowCreek community to provide support for nationally-touring, critically acclaimed artists. We provide significant financial guarantees for private shows that fuel 2- and 3-performance visits to the Reno/Tahoe community. Superb artists who may not otherwise offer their art here gain a new appreciation for all that is special about Northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe region. The music business model for all but the most well-known musicians has been severely impacted by streaming, making touring the only realistic revenue source. Radius clauses and tight margins at traditional venues constrain touring revenues to the point that Northern Nevada often misses out on extraordinary and up-and-coming artists on their way to larger markets. “
Matt Bushman is our musical guest this week. It was a treat to hear him mix it up live for us. With his smooth vocals and thoughtful poetry combined with acoustic and electric guitar on loops with beats created from the guitar body as well as harmonies from the pedal board. Catchy and emotional tunes by a one very talented man .
Matt is working hard on new material and enjoying the process from new and exciting perspectives.
You can find Matt’s music on the usual platforms and services.
It was great catching up. Thanks Mr. Goodman and thanks Mr. Bushman it was a great one.
Kadillac Kim of course with the four one one on your Reno rock weekend. And Chewie’s back! Yes!
Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening
S15E07 Memory Circle- Three Ring Circle
This weeks guests are brothers Conor & Evan on bass and guitar, and Travis on drums who together are the power trio known as Memory Circle.
Smooth, funky, psychedelic, surfy, spacey soundscape songs that are musical jammy fun.
We listen to several demo recordings, get their origin story and talk a lot about movies and directors.
As usual since it’s their first time, we play a round of the worst little quiz.
You can find Memory Circle on the socials, Spotify and YouTube. After they finish their debut EP they plan on doing shows again.
We’re looking forward to it!
Nick shares his new Tenacious D Pick of Destiny bolo tie made by Sophia Shortz of the band inpatient.
Hit her up for your custom rock gear.
Thanks for listening.
Life is short and we love you.
S15E06 Sweet Decay- Rabbit Light Tapestry
S15E06 Sweet Decay- Rabbit Light Tapestry
How sweet it is to be back with indie folk duo Sweet Decay.
CJ plays guitar and he and Autumn both sing in a beautiful powerhouse harmony.
They’re having a blast as Sweet Decay and since they are a couple they can easily practice write and riff together often. They approach songwriting with diligence and whimsy often picking 3 random nouns and running with whatever may come before refining a song. Just keep going.
They take the journey they’re on very seriously and would expand the band with strings and mandolin if they found people who who fit and were seriously down to work hard and often.
Both are strong solo performers but together they elevate the music and the vibe.
You can find them on Instagram @sweet.decaymusic ,YouTube and most streaming platforms.
We play a super fun quiz and Patrick joins Nick and Rick as a co host for the first time.
We had a sweet time with Sweet Decay and you will too.
Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening.

We love you and on our 581st episode we have a hot date with the tight tribute to Danzig era Misfits and our dear friends and mostly vets to the show, however drummer Kellen is a WLP virgin!

S15E02 One Ton Dually- Still Rolling
This week we have Chewbacca taking the lead host slot because our musical guest this week is One Ton Dually featuring our lead hosts and bestest buddies Nick and Rory on drums and bass. Rory also sings with Spike Ritchie and Stephen Barron on guitars.
Being men of a certain age there is mostly a lot of dude talk about health, tv shows, video games and Rory’s tattoos.
Fresh off their show at VSB opening for Los Pistoleros and legendary underground Uk granddaddies of psychobilly the Meteors, we hear a few songs they’re putting on their new album tentatively titled The Finger. They’re a mix of hard rock, skate punk with wit and a little nerdiness.
It’s great to be back and have some old friends in the studio.
So enjoy this episode with what some have called a great party band, the high octane garage rock of One Ton Dually!
Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening.
S15E01: Last One Down- First One Up!
That’s right, first one up for 2025 is…drum roll… Last One Down! A punk quartet featuring Josh Watson on guitar & backing vox, Andy Harrison lead vox & guitar, new bass player Adam Coldwell, and rockstar drummer from Screeching Weasel and Suckapunch; Pierre Marchè, who wasn’t able to make the podcast. That being the case instead of a live performance we get a little more laid back episode with a few tracks from their album Failing Dreams and a new single as well. Straight ahead melodic punk rock full of angst and humor, fast and catchy tunes executed by highly proficient musicians.
Adam being a newbie to the show takes the worst little quiz and is hilarious. We cover the band’s history and plans for the future including an upcoming show in Sacramento with legendary punks the Queers.
Nick, Chewie, Kim, Dogwater Dick all welcome our associate producer Patrick Starfish to the cast and Dick’s new rescued dog and Dogwater studio mascot Mila. We also revel in the fact that we have officially entered season 15 of our favorite hobby, bringing you the ever-evolving Reno music scene year after year with no signs of ending any time soon.

S14E42 The Christmas Episode- Naughty & Nice
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and our last episode of the season.
Join us for music, merriment and our final conversation of the year.
Rory’s youngest Billy was in studio but didn’t really have much to say while the adults carried on for an hour.
He seemed amused.
We welcome our intern Starfish to associate producer status and shall now be known by his real name Patrick. We get to know Patrick a little better by giving him the last quiz of 2024.
Music courtesy of our very own Nick Ramirez, a new one by Randall Wolfe, and the awfully jolly LNOY, all Christmas tunes. This year’s show is not our usual PG vibe, it’s definitely R. You’ve been warned.
Have a great holiday season and we’ll be back mid January to kick off season 15! Thank you all for a fantastic season of the Worst Little Podcast in the World. Life is short, hug your friends. Happy New Year. Peace and love to you and yours. Goodnight 2024
SEE YOU IN 2025 for SEASON 15!
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!
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.
