Podcasts about Bottom Lounge

This week, we're scratching The Itch to party! KC's birthday week was stacked with shows featuring podcast guests, and The Itch got to see plenty of them! First, KC and Aaron catch Boston Manor at the Subterranean in Chicago on their first ever US headline tour, with a diverse supporting trio of Farmer's Wife, Spaced, and Ellis. Then they swing over to the Bottom Lounge to see Ocean Grove supporting Thornhill with Avoid and Banks Arcade. Aaron somehow manages to turn two shows into one on the same night, creating a lineup where Hot Milk and Savage Hands ultimately open for Pop Evil. And finally, KC and Dan catch Gore. at Delmar Hall in St. Louis as they support Of Mice & Men and Until I Wake. It was a lot. And it was awesome. Enjoy. If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM. If you're not in the St. Louis area, you can stream the show from 891thewood.com, TuneIn, Radio.net, and OnlineRadioBox!

Brittany Bowman is the drummer for pop superstar Demi Lovato. An insanely great drummer and a wonderful person to boot! Hailing from Chicago, Britt sold her soul to music at the tender age of five years old. Her innate sense of rhythm was discovered in the backseat of her mom's car as she hit the headrest to the beat of the music on the radio—The Beatles were one of her favorites. By the age of ten, Britt discovered Green Day and got her first kit, beginning her budding romance with punk rock and drums. By the time she hit 15, she was playing notable venues around the Chicagoland area such as The House of Blues and Bottom Lounge, just to name a few. At 21, Britt made the move to Los Angeles where she now has her own studio and works as a hired gun for artists such as Demi Lovato, KiNG MALA, Meg Myers, Royal and the Serpent, and Toni Cornell, among others. She also focuses on session work for artists of all genres, while developing her YouTube and Instagram following by posting covers and play-through videos. With a growing online presence, Britt has piqued the interest of reputable companies who have brought her on board as an endorsee, trusting her opinion and talents to showcase their products on camera. Britt is constantly honing her talents, as well as seeking additional opportunities to tour and build relationships with like-minded bands and artists.

I’m joined for this episode by Carla Harvey, who we first came to know through her 15-ish years with the band she co-founded, Butcher Babies. At the beginning of this year, she announced that she’s the new “Acid Queen” in Lords of Acid, with a tour and album to follow. As I describe early in the episode, Lords of Acid fuses acid house, industrial, techno, pop smarts and taboo-shattering sexuality. It’s a devastatingly great combo. Carla talks about how she became part of the Lords collective and how it’s a dream come true; she’s been a fan for decades. She also talks about the artistic journey awaiting us from her new band, the Violent Hour, which is revving up as I type this. Finally, we discuss her career as a grief counselor and end-of-life specialist, specifically diving into the topic of mental health and its importance to musicians and other nocturnal creatures. Beyond Lords of Acid and the Violent Hour, Carla’s also getting married this year. Given the fact that her plate is super full, I was thrilled that she took time out to talk with Car Con Carne.

Hey, hello, how was your day? “Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles,” originally released 20 years ago, has grown to become a fan-favorite Local H album, and remains the favorite of band leader Scott Lucas. In his words, “P.J. Soles” was “the work of a band that had simply ceased to give a fuck.” Scott returns to Car Con Carne to take a look back at P.J. Soles in its anniversary year, and we go track-by-track through it.  Specifically, each and every one of these songs: Where Are They Now?
 Everyone Alive California Songs Dick Jones Money on the Dresser P.J. Soles How's the Weather Down There?

In anticipation of Local H's DUMB AND DUMBER themed New Year's Eve shows this weekend in Milwaukee and Chicago (at Shank Hall and Bottom Lounge, respectively), the guys sit down and watch the unrated “extended” version of the 1994 Farrelly Brothers classic starring Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, and Duff. To provide some history and much needed analysis, we asked our resident D&D expert —Justine McMahon— to join us for our third “audio commentary” episode. So if you don't know, here's how it works: Turn the sound down on your TV and when Ben gives you the signal —“3, 2, 1, GO!”— press play on your copy (or stream) of DUMB AND DUMBER (make sure it's the uncut and unrated version) and then follow us to a place where the beer flows like wine and beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. We're talking about a little place called The LIFERS Podcast.

FISHBONE BOTTOM LOUNGE Saturday September 3 As music fans, our relationship with Fishbone has outlasted most of our personal and in some cases, familial relationships. From that first EP in 1985 through countless, life affirming, get up and move live shows, including some amazing album plays here in Chicago at Riot Fest, Fishbone's been an essential band through the decades. They'll be back in Chicago Labor Day weekend for a show at Bottom Lounge on Saturday, September 3…. Joining me on Car Con Carne is Fishbone's Lead singer/sax player/theremin player ANGELO MOORE. Discussed in this episode: How's everybody in Fishbone getting along? Fishbone's main stage role on the first Lollapalooza tour. How Fishbone learned they lost their major label record deal. The troubles with the music industry. Fallout from the Will Smith “slap.” Is it vindicating to be an influence on some of the biggest alt bands of the past 30 years? Why aren't more artists speaking their mind? WIll there be new Fishbone music in the future? Angelo's various non-Fishbone projects Chicago loves Fishbone.   Now is the time to go solar!

Welcome to an all-new Films for the Void, Bonus Episode #13! In this episode, Landon interviews Mo Doron - a Chicago-based graphic designer and photographer whose past artist collaborations include Evanescence, Four Year Strong, JER, Seaway, and Bearings. As a wearer of many hats in the DIY music scene, you may recognize them from self-starting Support Your Fellow Rockers, an organization that connects bands and artists in indie circles with resources while on tour. More than likely, however, you probably know them as the brand manager and graphic designer for a 3-Day Chicago-based punk rock music festival taking place September 16-18 at Douglass Park with headlining performances from My Chemical Romance, The Misfits, and Nine Inch Nails. You can find them on Twitter @_MODORO and their portfolio is available on their website modoro.co.

Two weeks from the day this episode was recorded, Lucky Boys Confusion will play a sold-out 25th anniversary show at Bottom Lounge. Didn't get tickets in time? No worries: The band was just announced as part of this year's Riot Fest lineup!    My guest is longtime friend Stubhy of LBC. We talk about the LBC shows coming up, as well as his spectacular new solo project, Mr. Ms. & the Infusions. We also discuss his invisible disability (MS) and upcoming plans to raise awareness and funds to fight it.   Stubhy's one of a small few guests that I never need to prep for. As proof, we went for an hour before I realized it was probably time to wrap things up!

Kaytie and I went backstage, well actually it was in the tour bus which was parked out front of The Bottom Lounge in Chicago to catch up with Bert Mccracken, lead singer of The Used.

#269 Bernie Leos - Tumbledown Touring Mexico Lead singer of Mexican Ska Punk band Los Kung Fu Monkeys, music business man and good friend of mine  joins the podcast to talk about our days on tour together in Mexico. Bernie used to book the tours and was our tour manager on a one very ill fated tour. But the memories are pure gold and I still love Mexico. I can't wait to go back.  Of note. Bernie translated and actually rewrote the lyrics for my song "Great Big World" into Spanish. Instead of some of the great American Cities that Tumbledown played in, we did a Mexican version of all the great cities of Mexico. Hope you enjoy it if you listen. It's gotta be kind of amusing to hear me sing en Español. ;) You can hear the track anywhere you stream music.

Keith Underwood @underwoodtattoo  Keith was brought up in the tattoo world as a traditional tattoo artist. With an apprenticeship under Mike “Rollo Banks” Malone (who has worked with the great traditional tattoo artists “Sailor Jerry” Collins and Ed Hardy), Keith’s career path led him to the knowledge of traditional ways of tattooing and his way of doing business. In recent years Keith has been building a boxing empire with his company Underwood Promotions that puts on boxing events in the city of Austin, TX including Tattooed gloves, a charity event that has professional tattooers get in the ring with each other.  Keith sounds like a busy man, but he has proved that he can handle running multiple businesses and raise a family at the same time. With a solid shop to call his own in Texas, Keith is looking forward to making it as successful as his other businesses and spending more time with his wife and their two boys, Rooster Malone and Johnny Cash. ------ CHICAGO-  BOTH SHOWS ARE SOLD OUT!

This week, musician Kevin Singleton (The Cold Mourning, El Famous, Inept) joins me for a performance outside Bottom Lounge (1375 W Lake St, Chicago, IL 60607), the epic Chicago live music venue he manages. Kevin plays two awesome Cold Mourning songs ("Hopeless," "Tombstone") before we bring food into the car from the spectacular Bottom Lounge menu. If you're planning to see a show at Bottom Lounge, plan on getting there early for dinner; the food rocks. We talk about: Kevin had to become "Johnny Law" when one of the bands at Bottom Lounge brought booze outside the venue. Advice for independent bands: How to present yourself and what to do when you're looking to get booked for gigs. "What are some good things a band can do... besides 'make good music?'" Kevin's ascension in the local music scene, specifically with the band Inept ("we started up right out of high school; we didn't have a care in the world") El Famous's history, including last year's profoundly emotional album. The reason why El Famous isn't doing much right now. Why Cold Mourning makes perfect sense as an artistic outlet for Singleton right now.

You won't believe what happened. SHOCKED! Hear from many of the participants at Bottom Lounge in Chicago.

Mustafa Ali was recently signed to WWE to work on their cruiserweight show 205 Live. Before he went to go work with WWE full-time he was finishing up his indie dates.

This show was called Triple Threat Level Midnight as was hosted at The Bottom Lounge on Lake St in the West Loop of Chicago. This was originally recorded for my friends at The Last Mark Standing Podcast, Damian Salty G and The Marky Smark, Trina.

Dan Castady is the lead singer of The Fold and a dead-ringer for actor Justin Long.  It was a pleasure talking with Dan about the amazing recent Miley Cyrus homage (sounds better than parody) The Fold released.  The song is so great and the video is even better. Watch it on youtube.  And better yet...head to their website www.TheFoldRock.com to see many other great video's from The Fold like "I'm With Coco" (for us Conan fans!) to a halarious follow-up to "Every Band In The USA" involving a lawsuit... The Fold will play at The Bottom Lounge in Chicago Friday, February 12, 2010.  And they will be at the Apple Store in Michigan Avenue, Chicago on March 21, 2010 (we talk about that during this conversation).
