Reverend Rory
S14E21 Larry Cooper: Must Die
We had a cozy healing session with thee magic man himself Mr Larry Cooper.
Larry is a talented multi-instrumentalist whose musical hustles include being the bassist for artsy pop rockers Roxxy Collie and often sitting in with his homies in the Grimtones or maybe you’ve been blown away by his solo work. His debut solo album LARRY COOPER MUST DIE is out on all major platforms and vinyl records are on the way.
It’s a journey through recovery and Larry plays nearly every instrument on it. It is soulful, mixing styles and influences the whole way through, keeping the listener engaged. Sometimes the songs arrive from moments of clarity and immediate improvisation. Others are written meticulously. Must Die leaves quite the impression. It is a concept album and should be experienced as such. It reveals a real person and true artist.
We shoot the shizzy on the two and a half years it took to get the album out and the reasons for its creation. Larry dives deep within himself revealing struggles, enlightenment and hope.
The conversation was heavy and funny with huge heart and sincerity .
We get a couple tracks from the record and a couple live in studio performances.
Larry is now a five timer on the show; therefore, we felt no need to quiz him again.
Big daddy Rory says farewell for now, after hosting the last three episodes. We of WLP salute you Rev. See you next hall pass.
Thanks for a great episode, Larry. We love you. Thanks for listening folks, we love you too.
#555 S14E20 Voidsinger
This week’s guests are industrial dark wave songsters Voidsinger. Casey Fritz and Rob Pelikan’s music is like Love and Rockets mixed with New Order and maybe a dash of Ministry’s With Sympathy. Incorporating hip hop and grunge and just about any genre they like. They have made ten albums in a year and a half. It’s freaking crazy. They chalk up their prolific output to chemistry.
Rob brings the goth new wave vibe and Casey brings the grunge and punk vibes both sharing a rebellious outsider point of view. They’re also joined by Casey’s computer, leaving them to figure out how they’d do a live show but that is definitely on their to do list. We had a great time getting to know Voidsinger and hearing their eclectic tunes. You can find them on all the usual platforms.
We play a fantastic round of the quiz and of course your upcoming hot shows.
It’s been great having our host with the most Reverend Rory back, in fact the whole original cast made it in this week. Always a treat.
ALSO, from the internet: Our friend and recent guest Dan Abbott of Bobby Joe Ebola & the Children MacNuggits has a kickstarter campaign in its last few days. Please consider donating and pre ordering their latest and most ambitious album yet. The musicianship is top notch and the comedy is hilarious. Link here: http://kck.st/45BqmyZ
Have a great week everyone and thanks for making us a part of it. Life is short and we love you.

S14E19 WITTIKKA- Dark Wavers
We are back with a brand new episode featuring dark wave goth vibers WITTIKKA.
This trio consists of Daniel on guitar Dave on drums and computer programs, and James on bass and vocals. Dave points out that James is the visionary front man providing lyrics as well. James insists it’s a group effort.
Their sound feels like early goth mixed with overdriven guitars, kind of like Swans. James and Daniel are brothers and found Dave through the magic of Craigslist. They’re a great match.
You can catch Wittikka with goth DJ Xenobia, Glitter Bats and L. A.’s AL1CE playing the Cellar Stage at Alturas July 20.
Kadillac Kim gives you the weekends hot shows and we welcome back for an exclusive 3-week engagement, ladies and gentlemen, Thee Reverend Rory Dowd! His band with Nick, One Ton Dually are playing TONIGHT with the Scoffs from Seattle and Riot Radio from Sac at the Cellar. We hope to see you there!
Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening.
Deep Inside John Waters – A Special Edition of WLP
Filth fans, rejoice! Somehow, our shitty little podcast was able to score an opportunity to speak with one of our heroes, in media and real life, John Waters. If you are unfamiliar, John Waters is an American filmmaker, writer, director, actor, and pubic speaker, with a career spanning 7 decades. His influence on American culture and films is undeniable and profound.
This episode does not feature local music and is strictly an interview. Possibly the GREATEST interview of our 12 years. We talk about the first and last time, John was in Reno; festivals and drugs; and of course his upcoming speaking engagement, “False Negative” at Cargo Concert Hall on May 20th. Tickets are going fast, so we definitely recommend that you RUN, not walk to order your tickets now. There will also be an after party at The Elbow Room, featuring Thee Saturday Knights, One Ton Dually, The Juvinals, and Eddie and the Subtitles.
Enough with the intro – enjoy the show!~
Thanks for Listening.

Starring our youngest guest yet!!!
Worst Little Podcasat – S6 E11
The Potentialists of the Potentialist Workshop invade Dogwater Studios this week. Mac Esposito (Bazooka Zoo), Chriselle Vinson, Kelsey Sweet and Axiom Pantoja join support to talk about what the shell a Potentialist and the Workshop is all about. Mostly though, we talked with young Ax. And he spoke the truth!
Kelsey and Ax
Mac plays us some solo stuff, some of which are songs he plays with Bazooka Zoo, friends of the show and Reno Space Rockers. Mac joined their lineup a while ago and the sound is out of the galaxy. You can catch them at their next show at The Saint on 5/27/2016.
Mac
His lovely wife, Chriselle, whose name I butcher repeatedly throughout the show, is both wonderful and the house masseuse at the Potentialist Workshop. Stop by and check them out- they want to make your art a reality!
Chriselle

Bing Bang Boom!
The Worst Little Podcast – S4 E 26 – Download Link
OMG This was such an awesome show. Good good GOOD friends of the Show, Sit Kitty Sit, drove up to Reno from the Bay Area just to be on the podcast. Kat Downs Gaudette and Mike Thompson are a killer two-piece band that will blow your mind. They started playing shows up here in Reno about a year ago and fell in love with the audiences and venues of our fine city. You can’t keep them away now!
Kat is HUNGRY!
Sit Kitty Sit is keyboard, drums and phenomenal singing. A truly unique act they can and have played with everyone from solo guitarists to full on metal hardcore bands. They first played up here with Lucas Young, a previous guest on the show and great guy who just HAPPENED to also stop by the studio this week to say ‘Hi!’. Sit Kitty Sit ended up staying at Dogwater Studios that weekend and Rick and Kat and Mike all fell in musical love. Since then, they’ve remained in contact with us and played a few more shows in the Sierras. What you get today is just a little taste of their amazing live show. Super fun, witty and talented, you don’t want to miss the,
So is Mike
Before I sign off, I just want to remind everyone of the big Nowhere Nevada show at Jub Jub’s this Friday, August 8. With 12 local bands featured in the movie, and film clips being shown all night long, this is something you don’t want to miss! It’s a fundraiser to help the cast and crew go to San Jose for the red carpet film fest that the movie has been selected to be in. Please come out to support Reno art and culture!
Thanks for Listening!

Reno Pride – you got some?
The Worst Little Podcast – S4 E25 – Download Link
Welcome once again! We’re happy to welcome back to the studio some of the team who worked on Reno’s own movie Nowhere Nevada. Executive Producer Brian Sutherland and the dandy tuna himself, actor Andy Luna (Overload) stop in to let us know the current status of our favorite movie! Nowhere Nevada has been doing well, already having taken a 2nd place prize for Crime dramas in an Ohio film festival.
Overload / Andy Luna
We play a bunch of songs from the soundtrack and talk a lot of shit this week, with the conversation ranging about wherever our hearts and minds took us. The quiz with Andy Luna is particularly fun – he came to play and did well! I can’t even begin to tell you what we talked about, mainly because I forgot to take notes. We touched on a lot, but most importantly, the Nowhere Nevada fundraiser on 8/8 to help the production team get to the big film festival in SF later this month.
Executive Producer / Brian Sutherland
I don’t have much for you this week, except to thank Andy Luna and Brian Sutherland for stopping in, and to wish them, Nick and all the rest of the production team who is going down a lot of broken legs.
Thanks for listening!

The Worst Little Podcast – S4 E 23 – Download Link!
Holy crap, it’s hot as fuck in Reno, despite the fairly unprecedented 4 days of serious rain in a row. Hope you all are keepin’ cool and pulling a Saturday Night Fever! Whoo! In Studio this week, we have Bill McKean and Zeke Griffin from Strange on the Range, a Reno blues/Americana/Blurgrass BLUEgrass band. No. Hell with It – They are Blurgrass. Made that shit up just now I did. Bill plays guitar and Zeke plays Mandilins. Actually, he freaking makes the suckers. Custom and cool and – damn!
Bill McKean – Upright and confused
Strange on the Range is a featured act at The Morris Burner Hotel’s Reno Folk Festival, happening this weekend as a part of Artown. If you haven’t been to a show at the Morris yet, you are missing out on a whole lot of what’s happening in the Reno art and performance worlds. Three days of folk music, a trip backwards in time, covering current era, the 60s, and traditional roots of folk music, as a tribute to Pete Seeger, who died earlier this year.
Zeke Griffin – MANdolin’
Jill Marlene, event organizer, also joins us partway through the episode and joins the guys on a couple songs. It’s , once again, a fun episode, but it got hot in the studio. It’s hot now. I’m done.
Thanks for listening.

The Worst Little Podcast – S4 E21
I’m WHOREible at this deadline thing! Sorry folks, Reverend Rory had a poetry reading a the Morris Burner Hotel’s monthly show, Burning Words, then went out to catch some comedy at Third Street Bar. Twas a lot of fun getting out during the midweek! I encourage you all to do it every now and then!
Up Is The Down Is The
On the show this week we have a lively time – a long recap of the past week for everyone and all the awesome events we went to and enjoyed. Joining us in the studio for the first time is Up Is The Down Is The, a solo music project from Reno NV. Andrew Martin is the man behind the music and is as impressive as he is charming! Dogwater Dick and Reverend Rory caught him after Sit Kitty Sit at Jub Jub’s a few weeks ago and booked him on the spot! With a guitar, drums, pickle barrel and a looper, he creates wonderful aural creations to delight your ears.
Andrew Martin
Also along for the ride is the always fun and charming Samantha Gates. She just stopped by to chill out with her favorite podcasters and got to take the full Worst Little Quiz, with no pulled punches (since her mom wasn’t in the room this time). Samantha is currently working on some projects that are under wraps at the moment, but that we hope to be able to tell you more about in the future. (Rick didn’t take a picture of Samantha because he hates women is a fag was so busy setting up Up Is The Down Is The.
How rude!
You can catch Up Is The Down Is The on July 2 at Holland Project with The Baddest Beams from Sacramento, CA! Please go check him out – great music, great venue!! Hope you have a fun week – we’ll see you next week with some of the cast of the Tahoe Players’ productions of Sweeny Todd and Avenue Q.
Thanks for Listening!

Having gone through some name and lineup changes in the past four years, they are back together as the original band with a whole new set of songs, polished to a sharp keen.
