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.
S14E22 High Desert Habit: Good Grief
We’re back from Rick’s summer break and ready to pod the cast again! Back in the saddle with our new friends from Winnemucca, High Desert Habit. With Cassandra Luvlee on bass, “OG” Orin George on drums and Eric Mercado on guitar and vocal.
We get some tracks from their upcoming album recorded at Tin Roof Recordings in Fallon.
Grief, love and loss are often themes, stories of real-life experiences. Eric says it’s how he releases his grief, through music, and hopes he can reach others who are dealing with it. It’s very human and relatable. Pretty catchy too.
We also find out how Ricks annual trek to Oakland California for the Mosswood Meltdown turned out. Kim and Nick talk about MidTown’s Dancing in the Streets. We have nice deep, hard R rated quiz and of course, your upcoming hot shows.
Another solid episode with a rocking country band who are always grinding and hitting the road again soon. You can find them on all the usual platforms and socials. Thanks for hanging out with us y’all.
Life is short and we love you!
S14E11 Bobby Joe Ebola & the Children MacNuggits: Phoning It In For The Win
MacNuggits: Phoning It In For
Room a zoom Zoom! Kim, Nick and Dogwater Dick were all able to podcast from the comfort of their own phones or computers as did our guest Dan Abbott from the band Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits.
These songs are all different genres mixed, telling detailed epic stories and it’s funny. They remind me of Frank Zappa, Tenacious D and Ween. The way the band plays whatever they want, what the song and story call for, whatever style. Folk, punk, metal, brass section, progressive and harmonies. Performed with precision and highly entertaining.
You can find them at bobbyjoeebola.com and all the platforms. They have a bunch of fantastic videos on YouTube as well. Go check them out.
Dan aces the quiz and
Nick and Kim review the Cover Up show and give you some hot show tips for another jam-packed musical weekend in the biggest little city.
Dick and Dan talk Star Trek and Shatner’s earlier work.
Why not? After all,
we’re the worst little podcast, we’re talking out of our ass!
Thanks for listening.
S14E5-Drought: High and Dry
We had a rocking good time hanging out with Trevor Lame-Vocals, Guitar Cheyenne Cha Cha-Bass and Jake Sticks-the drummer who are now collectively known as brand new baby low fi sonic punk band Drought.
Only a half a year in the life of Drought and they’re already landing some great gigs and of course their debut on our show. Well, that’s not entirely true, drummer Jake also plays bass in doom metal outfit Ozymandias and has been on WLP a couple of times. But never isolated to the drum room, separate from everyone, so it was a whole new experience.
They play us their loose and primal punk rock, warts and all to our delight. They’re not polished but they’re chaotic, salty, playful and a little dangerous. Rock and roll rebels fresh from the garage that Jake plans to turn into a venue.
We have a dirty little quiz and Kadillac Kim shares the fantastic lineup she has booked for this year’s Reno Punk Rock Flea Market. It’s always a treat to meet new bands and watch them grow. We will be keeping our eyes on Drought for sure.
You can catch them February 16 in Nevada City at the Fern with Slutzville and the Arguments as well as headlining The Blood Spattered Valentines Day Show February 17 at the Cellar Stage (aka Alturas) in Reno, with Two Man Lemmon Band, The Poor Devils and next week’s WLP guest; Bang Marry Kill.
Proof that Reno keeps it rocking, new bands are being birthed all the time and we’re glad we get to share a little bit of that raw beauty with you. That’s what we’re here for, after all… Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening!
The Christmas of Covid Babies – S11 E39
We are back with yet another Christmas special! All the families joined together for yet another year, gathered around microphones (and a Zoom feed) to share stories, music, and Christmas wishes. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve gotten together and celebrated Christmas this way, and it sure was fun. (Now with more swearing!)
Everyone’s large and ever-growing families were present as usual, and this time, we had a few new additions: The Ramirez’s had their wonderful baby Pauline with them, who squealed throughout the show. the Dowds were stuck at home with the sniffles, but they were able to have 3-year-old tornado Bobby and newborn Billy show up, on camera! The children sure did start popping up through the pandemic! I wonder what happened….
Despite forgetting to do half of them, we brought our traditions back to life this year; Christmas carols from local musicians, family chaos, and a classic tale of Christmas spirit. Short on content, bug on love. Remember, it’s also the last show of 2021, and season 11 of the podcast!
We have come a long way together and are looking forward to both the coming year and Season 12!!! Have a great holiday season, and we’ll see you next year!
Thanks for listening!
Trevor “Trevair” Snowden – Stomie Hole – S7 E19
Hello and Welcome to the Worst little Podcast!
The-Worst-Little-Podcast-2017-06-19– Download Link
We have a full house of hosts tonight including a new face, Kadillac Kim (that’s me, hello). Our guest tonight is award winning disabled athlete, Trevor Snowden. Snowden’s larger than life, hope-filled presence is almost too big for the studio. In 1997, Trevor was preparing for a career in extreme snowboarding when he suffered a catastrophic spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Trevor pulls no punches when talking about how his injury has affected his life. In addition to being an athlete, he is an inventor, video game designer, and rapper. Trevor’s full-length album, The Wheelchair Extraordinaire, is available on iTunes. Listen in for a yet to be released track and Worst Little Podcast exclusive from Trevor and learn about what he has in the works or just where to find him singing karaoke.
Trevor Snowden in the studio sharing Worst Little Podcast exclusives just for you!
Over the years Snowden became increasingly unhappy with the standard wheelchairs insurance provided so he invented his own custom wheelchair specifically designed to provide athletes to stay active. This wheelchair is now known as the Trevair. Trevor’s invention has helped him launch a new off- roading sport, wheelchair supercross. Snowden holds the world record for jumping 55ft over cars in a wheelchair and his stunts have been featured in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
