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.
S14E34 Hear You Me- Fleas the Season
Our guest this week is the Reno punk rock power trio Hear You Me starring drummer Johnny, vocals, Carson on bass and Isaac on guitar and vocals. Fast and melodic, angsty and emotional. Super tight and fantastic gang vocals. In a few words, cool af. They are playing Sunday November 3rd at noon at the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market’s holiday market and show, Flea’s the Season!
Kadillac Kim gives us all the details and she brought in board member and vender layout wizard Juan, who shared his journey from vending blown glass (like Rick’s tiny flower vase, pictured below) volunteering to being on the board. You can volunteer too! They’re always looking for help and you get all the perks and behind the scenes access. Hit them up at RPRFM.org for all the info.
A terrific round of the quiz was had. And Nick recaps the 20th anniversary of Marianarchy with Rick and Kim. Epic as usual, raising a some dough for local musician Shaun Rucker. Great job Reno.Much appreciated.
Life is short and we love you! Thanks for listening.
