Hand Spun

Welcome back for Season two of Hand Spun Podcast! I am joined for this episode by the boys of Local Violence to discuss being a musician during the COVID 19 pandemic, changes to the local scene from bands to venues, surviving during trying times, and what we can expect from these wonderful guys in the near future. Grab a shake, settle in, and enjoy the show!

We get into the nitty gritty with Josh and Bryce from Cindy. If you secretly enjoy dad jokes and professional arm wrestling, you will find this episode to be a lighter note during these trying times.

Letting go of the past is hard and moving forward into the unknown can be even harder. Settle in as we discuss growing up and being a part of the future we want to see with Zoë and Niamh of Fighting Futures. Tales of personal growth, freeing feminist festivals, and marvelous milk shakes contained within.

Josh Clouse and Kyle Wipert of Vena Cava had our pulses rising and our abs burning by the end of this episode. They have some hilarious stories in store, we get a look into how they write music, and they share with us their experience as a prog instrumental act.
