Podcast appearances and mentions of dan potthast

During Skankin' Pickle's run, Mike Park had so many songs, he tapped Less Than Jake to record an album with him. He called it The Bruce Lee Band. This record was released in 1995. A decade later, The Bruce Lee Band returned with Beautiful World, this time backed by RX Bandits. But then, nearly a decade later, The Bruce Lee Band became a solid group with Mike Park, Jeff Rosenstock, Dan Potthast and Kevin Higuchi (Though Mike Huguenor was involved in the two 2014 records). They've put out several releases. Last year they released the excellent EP Division in the Heartland. And on May 27th, they will release their full-length, One Step Forward. Two Steps Back--incredible, passionate and at times angry ska-punk. On today's episode, we talk with two members of The Bruce Lee Band: Mike Park and Jeff Rosenstock. We discuss the two's origin story--Jeff's old band Arrogant Sons of Bitches tried to play at an event Mike threw at the Oakland A's parking lot, but Mike said no. We talk about the role Chris Candy played in the two becoming friends. And we talk about the mid-to-late-2000s era at Asian Man Records, where Mike had a vibrant selection of amazing punk bands like Bomb The Music Industry, AJJ, Lemuria and Shinobu. We also discuss how drummer  Kevin Higuchi went from San Jose bar band drummer to joining The Bruce Lee Band and Jeff Rosenstock's band, Mike Park smoking weed with Alkaline Trio, and the infamous Skankin' Pickle reunion shows in Japan. And of course, we dig deep into The Bruce Lee Band's excellent catalog.  Support the show

At one of the first out-of-town shows that St. Louis ska band MU330 played, booking agent Steve Ozark, approached them, interested in working with the band. MU330’s members were excited and told him yes! But only if he agreed to book them as much as humanly possible. From Ozark’s perspective, it was a strange request, but one he was happy to meet. For much of the 90s, MU330 hit the road as much as they could. Even with these many stages they played, they still hovered at cult status, though they released some of the best ska-punk records of their time. As MU330 was winding down, lead singer and guitarist Dan Potthast stayed very active, both as a touring act and in terms of his creative output. He released solo records, formed new bands, and in recent years, joined Jeff Rosenstock’s group. On this episode, Dan joins us to discuss different moments in his musical career. Much of the conversation revolves around Dan’s time in MU330, but we also talk about his role on the SKA DREAM album, discuss what it’s like to tour people’s homes as a solo artist. And we get to hear the epic tale of how MU330 crossed paths with the band Crazy Town. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it! And also sign up for the In Defense of Ska newsletter.

Spécial Hawai 5-0 (mais pas vraiment). Après un léger détour par les années 90 au dernier épisode on rentre direct dedans avec la série Everything Sucks sur Netflix. On se remémore les bons moments de l'époque ainsi que le tour de poitrine de Gwen Stefani. Pour revenir en mode plus familial on parle de Il pleut des hamburgers et autres films à écouter avec les enfants pendant la relâche. En musique on parle du nouvel album de Dan P and The Bricks et en jeu vidéo Noël découvre Knack pour la première fois. Pour les amateurs de négativité on attribue notre premier zéro, on démoli le dernier album de Galaxie et on simule un combat entre Daryl Ward de Bright et le Roi Liche. Vraiment un épisode pour tous.

Un épisode quand même ben relax et sans thème. On revient encore une fois sur Bright et on essaie de faire faire du sens de ce film-là. Après ce moment d'agitation on revient zen avec nos suggestions de bands qui nous sortent de la torpeur. Quelques autres suggestions musicales suivies de notre opinion sur le Nintendo Labo et les haters sur la beta de DragonBall FighterZ. On vous promet une heure garantie sans stress.

Dan Potthast of Mu33o and Rick Johnson of Mustard Plug join us today to talk about the first time they met, the first records they bought, their home lives, tour life as an adult and the creation of Sharkanoid; the duo's Guided by Voices inspired pop-punk concept album!

Musician Dan Potthast has spent this summer going around the country playing acoustic sets in fan's living rooms, and lo and behold, he played in ours. He was awesome enough to sit down with us for a few minutes before the show, and by jove, we are happy he did.

Every show can't be a skafest -- unless, of course, you're Dan Potthast. We swung by the MU330 frontman's Santa Cruz apartment, and happened to catch Skankin Pickle / Chinkees singer Mike "Bruce Lee" Park. That means you get two third-wave ska legends for the price of one.

St. Louis ska band MU330 was formed in 1988. Different members came and went through the course of their first two full-lengths, but by the time they went to record their 1997 masterpiece, Crab Rangoon, they locked in as a five-piece with Dan Potthast, Ted Moll, Chris Diebold, Rob Bell, and former Skankin' Pickle trombonist Gerry Lundquist. That lineup hasn't changed since. Most curious about this lineup is the horn section: Two slide trombones. Rather than lean into the high, peppy brass of trumpets or the sultry vibe of saxophones, it was pure trombone action. With the entire horn section sliding, it sometimes added an unsettling effect to their lines, a curious, unique sound that further distinguished them from other 90s ska bands.Today we celebrate one of the best '90s ska bands, by hanging out with their incredible horn section: Trombonist Rob Bell and trombonist Gerry Lundquist. For anyone who toured during the '90s or early 2000s, it was common knowledge that Rob and Gerry were incredible, hilarious, and always a delight to hang out with. They zoomed in to talk to us from a St. Louis bar of course! We talk about tattoos, touring with Link 80, weird experiences in Europe, Rob winning the Buddy Lee jump rope contest, Rob hanging out with Against Me's Laura Jane Grace, Devil sticks, and garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic FestivalWe also talk about Gerry moving to St. Louis and staying at Dan Potthast's house, beer farming, Rob seeing The Cramps (his first punk show), their experience playing The Outhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, and the infamous Link 80 Fireworks War. Plus, Rob reveals to us exactly who Pepe is! If you'd like to support us and listen to early access, ad-free episodes with bonus content, check out our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/indefenseofska If you like our theme song, go download the EP Lives by Slow Gherkin.
