The Zines are our guests this week. With Ava on vocals and additional guitar, Jack on drums, Ben on bass, also sings backup, Ryan lead guitar, and Davis on guitar who also sings occasionally. They are hard to pin down genre wise. Feist meets the Minutemen? Kinda? They are all really good players with a wide range of vibe. Their songs can be straight ahead rocking one moment then super funky for a bit then get dreamy and heavy and build up the energy to a glorious release.
Alternative music with heart and depth. Great tone and cohesive musicianship, great songs and grit. The Zines are just a really cool rock band. We are impressed and predict a loyal following for The Zines.
You can find them on Instagram @zinesband and your usual streaming platforms.
We play the worst little quiz and Good Song Bad Song . Does Jon think this Journey classic is good or bad? Listen to find out.
Ryan from The Zines had to catch a plane halfway through the show so we front loaded this episode with a bunch of songs with Ryan and they play a few more, minus Ryan, throughout. Enjoy! We did.Thanks for listening.
Truckee Californias favorite punk rock flight attendants Cori Elba and her bestie Layla Moheimani are back to rock WLP with a stripped down package of highly entertaining musical stories about Cori’s life, delivered with attitude, creativity and humor for days.
We had a blast catching up and learning about Laylas other band, (also with Cori) Scan Dolls and her songs about living with cancer. These ladies are hilarious and oozing with positivity while calling out the negative. Humor and heart are always a winning combination. Add talent and drive and you start to get what they are all about. That and having all the fun humanly possible.
We laugh and vibe with the duo about an array of subjects including Waffle House, the Beatles and the Brady Bunch!
This week’s band for Good Song Bad Song is Duran Duran. Which way will Jon go? Listen to find out.
So, take off with us for another voyage to Planet Weird with Cori and Layla’s rad music and delightful spirit.
Life is short and we love you.
After a little summer hiatus we are back with three of the seven member band Bark Hardly. Eclectic indie folk music might be a good description.
Present: Henry on acoustic and vocals, Maddie vocals (and trombone at the shows?!) Joe plays bass, but just came to talk.
Absent band members: Nico drummer, Dalton piano, Cornelius lead git and Brandon on saxophone.
We hear an acoustic performance and recorded tracks, including a touching tribute to Bruce Lindsay, Henry’s dad and dear friend of Nick and Rory.
That’s right folks, Thee Reverend Rory Dowd came in this week to recap his weekend with the family at the Mosswood Meltdown music festival in Oakland with a bunch of rock and roll hosted by WLP’s spirit animal, the pope of trash, John Waters!
We’re all over the place as usual. Shakespeare on the lake, clown hotels in the desert and songs about life and the world are just some of the topics we touch on this week.
For our usual fun and games we play the worst little quiz and Good Song Bad Song. Lots of laughs and insight for sure.
A great time was had by all!
Thanks for listening.
We are back and this week we are joined by someone who many would call the dark queen of the Reno scene, an eclectic music club DJ and Recycled Records superstar Kat Blank! She gives us tracks from local killers Spitting Image, Whatitdoarchive, Clarko, the Colin Ross Band and a classic from Tex Williams. It was great to get to hangout with Kat and get her take on all things Reno and music.
Some subjects covered include, Dogwater Dicks longtime friendship, the record store and its many locations throughout the years and a very touching story involving Alice Cooper.
We play a round of the worst little quiz and Good Song Bad Song featuring Eddie & the Cruisers.
It was an amazing time full of laughs, music, Reno nostalgia and fun.
Press play and enjoy an hour with Kat Blank and WLP!
Life is short and we love you!

They’re a ray of sunshine and shenanigans. They’re a funky spunky band with a tremendous sense of humor and fun.
It’s their second time on the show and they have progressed immensely with the right lineup of players.
They are a wonderful ray of light and joy, celebrating individual freedom and community, while punching up on oppression with intellect, humor and humanity. They get silly and it’s definitely contagious here at the Dogwater Studios.
You can connect with Hardcore Brunch on instagram @hcbrunch.

Life is short and we love you.Thanks for listening!
We are back and the doctors in session!
Sophia Shortz on vocals and keyboard, Jacob McCoy on guitar and vocals, also on guitar Christopher Profera, Skye Powers on bass and Quinton Bunk on drums. Together they’re collectively known as…. inpatient… the band…. outta Reno…
Yup all lower case. inpatient.
This quintet of awesome is some of our favorite new music to come out of Reno in a minute. A cool mix of garage rock, synthy new wave sonic outer space sounds that feel familiar and yet unlike anything else you’ve ever heard!
Their shows are a total blast and they have gotten even tighter since our last podcast together a year and a half ago. Their chemistry is amazing.
They recently released their debut E.P., Trauma Bond, on all platforms and are on Instagram for social connection. @inpatient.reno
We talk about everything from the recent Friends of P benefit, local bands with mad game, our GSBS band STP to high school angst and bicycle porn!
It’s a crazy fun show with a bunch of crazy fun folks.
We’re not doctors but we recommend an aural dose of inpatient.
Life is short and we love you!Thanks for listening!
This week we have no further information for you. If you thought you’d just check the blog, see what it’s all about on the worst little this week, I’m sorry to inform you that you’ll just have to press play. Sorry for the inconvenience. It’s been a pleasure to serve the greater northern Nevada communities.
This may just be our last show ever. https://linktr.ee/metaftm
Thanks for listening. I guess.
his week our usual host Nick takes the night off of hosting duties to play drums in Nacho Bitch, a brand new duo band from the mind of bassist and Nicks better half, Mikie Ramirez.
Mikie had a long lasting writing spurt last year and is in a new band, Nosebone, with her bandmates Penny and Scaught (formerly The Shames). She brought a bunch of songs to them, and with quite a few songs left over and wanting to play together with her boo, Nacho Bitch was born.
We get three rad, upbeat songs about their daughter, current events and time travel! Mikie gives us the lowdown on her benefit rock show for special needs classrooms, Friends of P, coming up May 30th at Shims. Listen for details on that and some other upcoming shows.
Patrick hosts the podcast for the first time! Congratulations Starfish!
We play a round of GSBS featuring Dire Straits and discuss Juggalos vs Dead heads amongst many other things. A great fun hang with our dear friends and it’s so cool to hear their new jams. Viva Nacho Bitch!
Life is short and we love you. Thanks for listening.
We return this week with our continuing celebration of rad women doing cool stuff! We are joined by acoustic singer songwriter Kasey Christensen with Liam Kyle Cahill and Reno Poet Laureate Elisa Garcia.
We catch up with Kasey and Liam, a musical power couple hosting open mics, recording new albums and playing shows all over the country. Their music is sweet and thoughtful. Reflections on the human condition and stories from their lives. Smart, experienced and open to exploring both music and the world, the most endearing quality they share and exemplify is authenticity. They aren’t making music to please anyone but themselves and that’s why it’s pleasing. It’s real.
That is who Elisa is as well. Her poems are insight into which she’s been, is and even who she’s aspired to be. Being awarded the Reno Poet Laureate title is proof of her hard work on her thoughtful writing, consistently putting herself out there and a genuine connection to her audience.
We find out what it means and what life is like being the Reno poet laureate. We get to hear a couple of poems as well.
We play a truly kismet round of Good Song Bad song featuring Alanis Morisette, and preview some upcoming shows at Shims Tavern.
We had a blast hanging out with these beautiful artists. Thanks for sharing Kasey, Liam and Elisa. You can find all three on the socials and streams.
