Podcast appearances and mentions of bob balch

On this episode of Aftershocks TV, Matt & Tom sit down with FU MANCHU guitarist Bob Balch to discuss the new releases from his bands SLOWER and BIG SCENIC NOWHERE. Balch discusses the the formation of Slower and how the lineup was conceived and tracks were picked for the doom metal supergroup. The guys discuss BSN's new album 'The Waydown' and how divers bassist/vocalist Tony Reed is when it comes to songwriting and as a studio maven. Balch gives us an update on the soon-to-be-released new double-album from FU MANCHU, collaborating with Rush's Alex Lifeson and more. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cmspn/message

A longtime veteran of the scene, Tony Reed has made a name for himself both in front of a live audience and behind the scenes. In addition to leading his main outfit, Mos Generator, Tony's also a driving force in Big Scenic Nowhere (along with Bob Balch from Fu Manchu, who was featured on the show last week) and has put in years of production, engineering, and mastering work on countless albums. During his chat with Dylan, Tony delves into his many other projects, as well as stealing a 45 of "Nights in White Satin" at age four, learning "Iron Man" as his first song, an appreciation for the goths, Greg Ginn's breakfast treats, why he doesn't dwell on past decisions, gets real about production work, the green origins of the band name, and dealing with the fear of rejection. Support Mos Generator and Big Scenic Nowhere, as well as Tony's other bands and solo releases and his alt-country band, Hot Spring Water. Track featured is "Stolen Ages" from Shadowlands, released in 2018. Regarding the track at the time, Tony had this to say: "This is another song that was built from a jam and was recorded the day after it was written. We ended up using two different ideas on the same theme. On the demo jam, the song changed over the course of 20 minutes and when we were reviewing the session we thought it would be cool to marry the different styles. Part one has a loose psychedelic jam style and part two has a great pushing metal boogie feel. As I am writing this paragraph I am taking a break from arranging the vocal melodies and guitar overdubs. This is the second of two songs to be arranged during session #3 in January 2018. There are quite a few ideas that we laid down to the recorder that we'll get to in the future."

While the Fu Manchu 30th (32nd?) Anniversary tour is sadly not a go, Bob Balch has been able to keep himself very occupied during these past plague years. With a recently released sophomore album from Big Scenic Nowhere, Bob and Dylan get into his long tenure with Fu and how a Del Taco order kickstarted BSN a few years ago, plus how a member of another Foo band got Bob a little headstart, recording The Action is Go at 19, when road maps were a thing, James Hetfield's golf cart luxuries, a most harrowing winter drive, and surfing with Aussie fans. Support Fu Manchu and Big Scenic Nowhere and if you need guitar lessons, Bob has been teaching them through Play This Riff for years now.  Track featured is "Lavender Bleu" off The Long Morrow, available now!

This wee we got caught up with our good buddy Marc from Santa Cruz's own Doors To Know Where. They released a new record on 5/31 called Darkness Falls, and it's killer. We talk about recording the new record, working with Bob Balch from Fu Manchu, drinking beer, growing up in a musical surfing family that almost sounds like a Hollywood movie version of a Santa Cruz childhood, the Santa Cruz punk scene, and Marc's side gig as a teacher during a pandemic.Doors To No Wherehttps://doorstonowhere.bandcamp.com/album/darkness-fallsThis Week's SubmissionsThe Crooked Whispershttps://regainrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dead-moon-nightWormlighthttps://wormlightsweblacklion.bandcamp.com/Lophiushttps://lophius.bandcamp.com/album/their-poison-our-antidoteSwamp Coffinhttps://swampcoffin.bandcamp.com/Bandcamp Curationhttps://hakunakulala.bandcamp.com/album/tewariBands!

This episode of Couch Riffs Podcast features guest Tony Reed, the creator of one of my all-time favorite albums, Mos Generator's "The Late Great Planet Earth". If you've never heard this album, do yourself a favor and give it a spin with a good set of headphones on. I've included the link for you above. You won't regret it. But, Tony is a busy man in the studio and on the road so to minimize his musical output to only this (amazing) album would not paint a complete picture. One of the more prolific artists I've known he has recorded and released dozens of albums by Mos Generator, Stone Axe, 12:30 Dreamtime, Hot Spring Water and recently has been collaborating with Bob Balch of Fu Manchu and Gary Arce of Yawning Man in the project Big Scenic Nowhere.
