Dan traveled up to Newtown, PA to sit with Dirty Dollhouse front-woman Chelsea Mitchell in her shop, Newtown Book & Record Exchange, along with her bassist Josh Machiz. Chelsea talks about growing up in Newtown, being an anxious, book-obsessed kid, and how she found her way into music by playing in the church worship bands and choir (where, as a bonus, she received classical voice training). She also talks about the trajectory of Dirty Dollhouse, beginning as a trio of her, Amber Twait and Vanessa Winters singing country harmonies, and how it morphed into the full band that it is today with members like Josh, Eric Lawry and Pete Hall. Dan, Chelsea, and Josh reminisce about an era in the Philly folk and rock scene that they all inhabited around the same time, and give their kudos to people who have helped along the way.  Dirty Dollhouse's new LP, 'The End', is out now and available wherever you get digital music. The band will play a release show at Johnny Brenda's on November 22nd with Dominy and Bren.  Also: Dan is getting ready to send the $$ from 'Want To Play A Song?: Live On 25 O'Clock Vol. 1' to Philly Music Fest (they're getting ready to announce their donation numbers very soon), so get yourself the comp exclusively on Bandcamp if you haven't already. All proceeds go to the charitable giving of PMF to music education charites in Philadlephia. 

Dan has wanted to have Brittany Ann Tranbaugh on the show for a couple of years, and it's finally happening. Brittany talks about growing up in the Lehigh Valley, playing open mics and coffeehouse gigs as a teen, getting her songwriting to where she needed it to be, and her amazing band. Fresh off an outstanding show at Johnny Brenda's at the time of this interview, Brittany talks about all the ups and downs of being an independent artists, life on the road, finding community away from home, and fielding unsolicited opinions from Internet trolls. Her latest self-titled EP is out now wherever you get your digital music, as well as on vinyl through her website. She will be playing at WXPN's Xponential Music Fest on Sunday, September 22nd at 12pm.    

Ready for some gypsy-soul rock-n-roll??  Well you're going to love the music and the convo with Gina Zo of Velvet Rouge.  They have brand new music coming out to continue their exceptional offerings and performances that made them Philly's hottest rock band.Gina's been singing and dancing pretty much since she could start to talk and walk.  And took to all aspects of being a musician just as quickly - writing songs as soon as she was gifted a guitar, and then immediately began prospecting with venues for gigs, showing a willingness for the grind of getting your name and music out there.Then at 17 she auditioned for The Voice and made it to the show on Team Blake.  There she did receive coaching from Gwen Stefani, which you can see homage to in her performances.Off of the success of the show, she was able to sign with a label, however here she experiences the darker side of the industry where she didn't have control over her own content and image and it has her take a break from singing, writing and performing.Luckily for us, she eventually gets motivated to "get the band back together" and now called Velvet Rouge, they've committed to go all out and also to advocate for change in the treatment of women in the industry.Also, recently come out as bi-sexual, Gina is also an advocate for being your most genuine self, and released the anthemic "Faking It" about the struggles with navigating that.  Happy Pride!All that and much more to look forward to in this interview, including a live performance from Gina of "Shattered" which is releasing the same day as this interview.  This accompanies the previously released summer power jam "Lonely Since The Day We Met", and the full EP comes out in a month on 7/26.  Join for the EP release show at Johnny Brenda's on 7/27!Lastly, we'll have our typically trivial details to explore - like what's up with this broken toilet seat on the wall....???Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

So when the opportunity came up for us to interview frontwoman and lead songwriter Julia Steiner we were so pumped!We spend time to hear more about the latest album, how they met producer Chris Walla and how he inspired them to try new things, and the stories behind some of tracks (can't believe they did "Black Earth, WI" in only 2 takes!). She also shares her passion for album sequencing and how she goes about selecting the order for the tracks on the album.We also learn more about her story finding her music path, how she met Dave Sagan in college, and how the rest of the band formed across their catalog of albums.In addition to "Black Earth, WI", we share the official video of "It's Alive!", some video we captured at the Johnny Brenda's show of "Charles Bernstein" (a deep cut off their first album), and close the show out with my fav track off the latest album "Empty".This is such a fun convo with one of the best out there right now - you won't want to miss it!LinksWebsite: ratboysband.comYouTube ChannelSpotify ChannelNepco Guitars: nepcoguitars.comAs always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Dan is always glad to talk to Nik Greeley, which is why this is Nik's third full length episode. And they always seems to talk at a time when Nik is going through a period of growth and change, whether it be in his personal life, or with his band, The Operators. Dan and Nik talk about coming back after the pandemic, working in the concert industry at Rising Sun Presents, and stepping back from talent buying to fully commit to his music. Nik opens up about always working on his mental health, keeping the bad habits at bay, and how focusing on himself and his band has been a huge help in that, as well as being part of the Johnny Brenda's and The International Bar family on the hospitality side. Nik Greeley and the Operators have a brand new EP out right now called 'Scatterbrain', available wherever you get your digital music. The band will also be playing at Xponential Music Festival on Sept 22nd, as part of WXPN's 3 day concert festival, now in it's 30th year.  Photo by Lisa Schaffer

If I were to tell my high school self right now that I would have Nick Thune on the podcast, he would be like, what the hell is a podcast? I never watched cartoons before going to school, only Comedy Central Presents stand up shows at 7am and Nick Thune was my all time fav. Having the guitar played in with his sets was the coolest thing I've ever seen mind you I was going thru a weird singer songwriter phase In 2008, the instant classic instant messenger love song hits hard. First time I ever joined a comedian newsletter and the title was Eye Thune. RIP to I-Tunes obviously. First time I ever saw Nick Thune perform live was at Johnny Brenda's in Fishtown, Philly with the all funny Kate Berlant and Ben Kronberg and it was a night to remember. Laced Nick Thune up with some DAHSAR gear. Also a few years later at The Bell Tower in Gowanus, Brooklyn to lace him with more DAHSAR gear but not with Damien Jurado during their Sad Music, Sad Comedy tour which would have been so up my alley because those two genres are what I'm about. Sad Music, Sad Comedy, Sad Podcast episode, just playin. Nick Thune has put out comedy specials such as Thick Noon, Folk Hero, and Good Guy. He's in your favorite movies such as Knocked Up, Extract, Mr. Roosevelt, and Venom. He's in HBO MAX's Love Life and now starred in the movie The Right One out now. It's currently High Noon, he's good friends with Usher. Stoked to have him on Wear Many Hats here is, Nick Thune.
