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!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Worst Little Podcast! This week we have something to be extra thankful for. Our guests this week are the phenomenally talented folks of Reno’s best Garage Soul band, Failure Machine.
Clinton – Drums
Rachel McElhiney of Reno’s Failure Machine
Spencer gives the Worst Little Podcast one thumb up.
Failure Machine’s current lineup is Spencer Kilpatrick on guitar and singing stuff, Clintonious Philbin on drums, and Rachael McElhiney plays bari sax and also does singing stuff.
Failure Machine plays all the cool basements and sometimes they play for the rest of us who aren’t cool enough for basements. See Failure Machine’s next show at The Saint, New Years Eve! It’s a Failure Machine, Dainesly, and Team Francis high school prom do-over! As a special treat, they’ll be performing soul covers of Misfits songs. I am really excited, guys.
Thanks so much for being our guest this week! We can’t wait to see you again!
It may be Thanksgiving weekend, but don’t fret, Reno isn’t going to let a little thing like a family holiday get in the way of our good time. If you need an excuse to flee awkward conversations and racist uncles, this list might be for you!
