Podcasts about Bad Astronaut

In this episode, I jump into the lessons we can learn from Bad Astronaut's latest stripped-down track, “Gray Suits,” and how these lessons can transform our approach to teaching. Inspired by the minimalist arrangement of vocals, cello, and keys, I explore the concept of restraint in the classroom. We talk about the power of doing […]

The boys from Bad Astronaut get in the hot tub to discuss bad ass beer and and they legend of the Bad Astronaut!! Listen along as we get to know the Bad Astronaut boys and try some beer that is out of this

Interview by Erin EddyAnyone who is a fan of the SoCal skater punk scene of the 90's will know the name Joey Cape and if you don't know his name then you definitely know his voice; a distinct vocal style that makes Lagwagon instantly recognisable. Or you may be more of a Bad Astronaut fan. Either way, Joey is a veteran of the punk scene, and his bands have earnt their place as staples of the genre.It's been a long time between visits to Australia for the punk rock legend, so in early 2023 he's making up for lost time. Not only will Joey be touring with another of his projects, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, he's slotting in a bunch of solo shows around the country while he's here, also.Joey takes care of guitar duties for Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, a long standing favourite amongst the skater punk community for their fun, fast and ferocious covers that put a punk spin on popular songs. The Gimmes are a band comprised of notable musicians synonymous with the genre (just don't use the term ‘super group' if you don't want to cause an eye roll response in Mr Cape, as HEAVY learned!), including but never limited to Fat Mike of NOFX, Spike Slawson of Swingin' Utters and Dave Raun, of Lagwagon.The Australian leg of the 2023 tour for Me First And The Gimme Gimmes is one of thoserescheduled-from-forever-ago post-Covid jobs. What this means for us is the added bonus of now having Joey Cape solo shows at our disposal. Joey told HEAVY that he spent a “dangerous amount of time” in lockdown on his own, which he maintains was actually beneficial to him once he got past the confusion of it all. It allowed him time to pursue a bunch of things he otherwise wouldn't have turned his hand to, but ultimately when he needed healing, it was music that he turned to.Joey's solo record A Good Year To Forget is aptly titled for a record cataloguing one's experience of 2020, yet also something of a juxtaposition in that the healing power of music incites you to reflect back on it with some fondness, for it sure did teach us all a bunch of things about ourselves.HEAVY spoke with Joey about getting through the trying times of the pandemic, his various musical projects and what he plans on getting up to in Australia.For Joey, not only was 2020 a year of illness (Joey himself contracted Covid and spent a gruelling period of time hospitalised), lockdowns and mandates, but a year in which he lost a parent and experienced the end of a 20 year marriage. A Good Year To Forget is his diary of catharsis and he will be taking these songs to stages for intimate shows across Australia in between shows with the Gimmes from January 31 st , 2023.

A lady thought she was in a long distance relationship but it was a scam!

As my phone auto-played a song this morning, I was vividly reminded about the hour we spent in 2002 at Orange Whip Recording Studio with the band Bad Astronaut trying to find the one perfect lyric. That level of passion, detail, critical thinking, and perseverance is something we need to be doing way more in […]

I am going to be speaking with a veritable legend of rock music over the last 30 or so years, Marko DeSantis. Marko has played in such bands as Sugarcult, Popsicko, a short stint in The Ataris, and was a member of one of my personal favorite bands of all time, Bad Astronaut. Now Marko teaches the business side of music and DJ's as well as helps promote bands. His life is intertwined with the California rock scene of the 90's in so many ways, and we are going to hear some incredible stories. I am pretty stoked to talk to Marko, because having people like him on the show is exactly why I started this podcast in the first place. Marko has been ingrained in the punk scene in California for the last 30 or so years, and I figured it would be great to have a first hand account of some of the coolest stories straight from one of the sources. Marko has been a member of some very well known bands, but he is also really good friends with bands that are household names as well. This is Part 2 of our 2-part conversation.

This week we chat with the greatest band you've probably never heard of, and find out why you've never heard of them! Bad Astronaut members Joey Cape (of Lagwagon) and Marko DeSantis (of Sugarcult) join us for some cocktails, and explain why they never felt the need to promote this hidden gem of a band. As the guys prepare to launch their vinyl reissues, we reflect back on the 20+ years that have made them Bad Astronaut. Joey & Marko bring us back to the early recordings, all the way to the most recent single, Wide Awake. We also go into detail about the really unique process of reverse engineering the Bad Astronaut masters to prepare for vinyl release. We also get into our guilty pleasure musical tastes and discuss the importance of having a broad interest in music genres. Plus Joey talks his battle against hard drives, we get into the Bad Astronaut cover of Linoleum, and.... an Avenged Sevenfold bluegrass album? Hold on, someone must of had too much to drink.

We’ve got another #TeamSteve week lined up and he has a bold prediction that it will blow Kevin’s mind! This episode features a cool band with an interesting story. There are ties to other bands within this band, can you pick up on who it is? There are times when tragedy strikes and sometimes things happen in life and you don’t have all of the answers. Thankfully people have music to use as an outlet to express feelings or opinions. The most relatable songs are the kind where the singer poses the same questions/opinions you may have.If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, do not hesitate to call 1-800-273-8255.

Amid strange local weather and a tumultuous Springing yet, we return for a minisode to satiate you late nighters with us until we can bring the noise back in full on Friday. Chroma Cove, the art gallery run by our Andrea Dillingham, has burned like a phoenix, but in our interview she assures me that this is not its final form. I agree, and support her fully, and you can too! Donate to her Gofundme here and help rebuild a physical sanctuary to house her art dreams: https://www.gofundme.com/chroma-cove-fire-fund Last week I went to the Nick to see my friends in Cahaba, and Giant Sunbeam and the Noise. I was treated to a night of drama, funk, and sentimental crooning (all the good kind). The show closers were Particle Devotion from NEW ORLEANS, and they gave me a copy of their new album to sell in the upcoming Earth Hotel Traveling Library Merch-o-Case (title pending). Also coming to the EHTLMoC(tp) is a new album by Cahaba called Bad Astronaut. Find it here: https://cahaba.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GSandTheNoise/ To open this minisode, I've included a live cut from Giant Sunbeam, and we'll close it with a gently tragic song from the Particle Devotion fellows called "They Are Back Again." To be fair, it made me cry, so we'll leave it for last so you can choose to cry too. https://particledevotion.bandcamp.com/releases Thanks for sticky wickets. Viva l'amore.

Eclipse dun got rocked by two bands this Friday night (March 3) and they both happen to be friends of mine. Giant Sunbeam and the Noise (Episode 7) and Cahaba (Montevallo Music Podcast and EH Archive) returned to the podcast from the Eclipse stage to show you some chops that they like to use musically. Unfortunately, the Cahaba recordings were not as impactful as the live show, so I'll include a track from their brand-new album BAD ASTRONAUT, coming soon. The next night, Saturday March 4th, I played a wacky set at Birmingham's Soft Rock Bungalow with a singer from Nashville. His act was called Portsmouth, and his song from that performance is here. Track list: 4.39 - "The Swamp" / 8.45- "The Bee Song (When We Go, We're Taking You With Us)" / 12.39 - “For Once, Pretend” / 18.30 - Cahaba - "Keep Your Hands Off the Record, Machine!" / 21.34 - Portsmouth - "Bitter Pill" Thanks for joining us this Tuesday! Keep your sounds eared for Friday's full-length variety episode with Jordan Rickerson of the Dizzy!
