Podcasts about Local H

This week, we're scratching The Itch to get amphibious and delirious! We saw some toads, some frogs, and some excellent bands, and now it's time to talk about it. First, Aaron pivots his original plans in favor of an impromptu free (or suggested donation) street fest performance by Lip Critic and Delivery Boys. Will The Itch become fans of yet MORE New York acts? Then he sees some familiar faces in recent guests Toadies and perennial favorites Local H, along with Dallas's own Vandoliers in a night full of cow punk, nasty riffs, falling flags, and a Local H set that had a theme! Finally, KC and Dan check out Les Claypool pulling triple duty playing for Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and The Frog Brigade all in one night! When your night involves the son of a Beatle, a drummer with good taste, and something about cockroaches, it's probably gonna be a good time. And we hope you have a good time hearing about it. Enjoy.

399 Disclosure Day TMNT Pizza Ocarina Remake Management RegretDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are one episode away from 400, and while a big blowout special is still a “real big maybe,” they take a moment to acknowledge the milestone and the long, weird road to getting there.They recap a productive weekend, including house chores and a trip to LA to see Sparta open for Local H opening for The Toadies at the Belasco. Joe nerds out over Sparta's At the Drive-In connection, Local H's two-piece setup that somehow sounds like a full band, and The Toadies delivering plenty from the Possum Kingdom era. Also: a drunk guy in the pit goes way harder than the songs require.This week's Florida story features a fugitive accused of stealing crab legs from Winn-Dixie, then allegedly hiding inside an air conditioner air handler behind ductwork while his girlfriend hides in a closet. Because in Florida, seafood theft apparently turns you into HVAC.Geeking Out starts with Steven Spielberg's new alien thriller Disclosure Day, which opened big and brings Spielberg back into the alien-movie conversation. The Foos talk practical creativity versus AI, including Emily Blunt reportedly creating her alien clicking voice herself instead of using AI.Then it's food and nostalgia: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria is opening in Santa Monica on June 20, fully decked out with cartoon-style décor, merch, neon turtle faces, and a pizza pickup counter designed like the front of the Turtle Van. They also shout out 50 Burger in Upland as a legit local smash burger spot.Nintendo drops a nostalgia bomb with a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake planned for 2026, plus Switch/Switch 2 news and more from Nintendo Direct. The Foos compare it to the larger trend of remakes and remasters like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.DC talk continues with Lanterns, the upcoming HBO Max series being pitched like a darker detective drama in the style of True Detective, plus My Adventures with Superman returning with a Reign of Superman-inspired season.Steph also spotlights Larry David's upcoming historical comedy series The Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, which looks exactly like Larry David being dropped into major moments in history and complaining his way through them.Tech Talk makes a brief appearance with Logitech's MobiFold, a tiny foldable portable mouse that sounds surprisingly practical. They also remind listeners that Doug Brody's Shelley: Our Evolution is coming out June 19, and Steph is already deep into the book.Here's What I Would Do gets unusually existential:Michael (Irvine) got the management promotion he worked toward for years, but now misses the hands-on work he actually enjoyed.Rachel (Pasadena) isn't sure whether she wants kids, because both versions of the future — parenthood or child-free life — seem like they could be happy, and choosing one means letting go of the other.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroOne episode away from 400 + possible milestone episodeBelasco recap Sparta Local H ToadiesDrunk pit energy during songs that did not need itFlorida fugitive steals crab legs hides in air conditionerGeeking Out Spielberg alien thriller Disclosure DayEmily Blunt practical alien voice vs AITMNT pizzeria opening in Santa Monica June 2050 Burger Upland smash burger shoutoutNintendo Direct Ocarina of Time remake nostalgia bombLanterns HBO Max True Detective superhero vibeMy Adventures with Superman Reign of Superman seasonLarry David historical comedy series previewLogitech MobiFold foldable portable mouseDoug Brody Shelley Our Evolution June 19Here's What I Would Do Promotion regret Michael IrvineHere's What I Would Do Deciding whether to have kids Rachel PasadenaOutro + Doom Scrolling Outro

398 Supergirl Sci Fi Surprise Wolverine Game I Farted in YogaDoom Scrolling IntroSteph kicks off a health reset (no drink tonight, trying to get less jiggly) while the Foos shout out a genuinely great local find: Pizza & Such in Ontario for Detroit-style deep dish — crunchy crust, honey drizzle, and somehow not feeling heavy afterward. Steph also shows off a tiny Kodak keychain-sized digital camera birthday gift, instantly turning it into a chaotic show-and-tell moment (complete with battery dying mid-demo).Then the absurd news story: London police are investigating a serial graffiti artist tagging walls with “I farted in yoga” (stylized with backwards letters and crude cartoons). No message, no politics, no manifesto — just a fart confession turning into a real police case. Somewhere in London, someone from that yoga class knows exactly who it is.Geeking Out starts with a surprise favorite: Project Hail Mary — the Foos accidentally watched one of the best sci-fi movies in years. They rave about Ryan Gosling's perfect funny/serious blend, the suspense, and how the movie guides you through without forcing you to do homework-level thinking. Steph calls it a straight 10.Supergirl hype continues too: new footage and promo materials tease a version that isn't “female Superman,” but a harsher, more traumatized character shaped by Krypton's collapse — with the Woman of Tomorrow tone guiding the adaptation.Then it's Summer Game Fest 2026 news: the event fully replaces what E3 used to be, delivering trailers and spectacle without the old trade show baggage. The Foos hit the biggest reveals and favorites: Resident Evil Code Veronica coming in 2027 (Claire Redfield spotlight), The Last Ronin getting revealed as a game (no release date yet), Star Wars Zero Company, major anticipation for Wolverine (bloody, intense gameplay from the Spider-Man studio), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth/Revelation trailer pointing to Spring 2027, Attack on Titan 3, and Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra putting Captain America and Black Panther into a WWII setting with Unreal Engine 5 visuals.Here's What I Would Do brings two neighborhood problems:Jason (Fontana) is being terrorized by a neighbor's rooster that starts screaming at 5:15 AM like it's offended by the sun.Chris (Marietta) accidentally became the “hangout house” and now his friends schedule events at his place like it's a public venue — to the point where he finds out via group chat.They wrap with a quick tease: next week's show plans include Sparta opening for Local H opening for Toadies, with doors at 6 and the first band at 7.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroSteph health reset no drinks summer body panicPizza & Such Detroit style deep dish honey drizzle shoutoutSteph's tiny Kodak keychain camera show and tellLondon graffiti mystery I farted in yoga becomes real investigationGeeking Out Project Hail Mary surprise sci fi favoriteSupergirl new footage Woman of Tomorrow toneSummer Game Fest 2026 replaces E3 recapResident Evil Code Veronica 2027 Claire RedfieldThe Last Ronin game reveal no release date yetStar Wars Zero Company August 27Wolverine gameplay hype from Spider-Man studioFinal Fantasy VII trilogy finale Spring 2027Attack on Titan 3 announcedMarvel 1943 Rise of Hydra Cap and Black Panther WWIIHere's What I Would Do rooster alarm clock neighbor Jason FontanaHere's What I Would Do friends treat my house like a venue Chris MariettaOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroProject Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling sci fi, Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow, Summer Game Fest 2026, Wolverine game, Resident Evil Code Veronica, The Last Ronin, Final Fantasy VII Spring 2027, Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra, Attack on Titan 3, London graffiti I farted in yoga, rooster neighbor, hangout house problem

When Clark Vogeler joined the Toadies in 1996, there was no way to imagine the band would still be going, selling out rooms across North America. Thirty years later, the veteran guitarist finds himself navigating a beautifully unpredictable landscape, touring behind The Charmer, a gritty, tough new LP recorded with the late, legendary Steve Albini. Sitting over pizza at The Art of Pizza in Chicago (3033 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60657), Vogeler reflects on how the band has defied time to become a cross-generational force. From old-school fans to teenagers crowding the front row, the Toadies are experiencing a career renaissance they never could have predicted decades ago.   Vogeler pulls back the curtain on the creative process behind the new material, including the dark, self-critical inner voice that inspired frontman Vaden Todd Lewis to write the album's title track as a way of making peace with his own creative friction.   Being an independent band in 2026 comes with freedom, a sharp contrast to the major label pressures the Toadies faced in the 1990s. By self-funding their studio time through relentless touring, the band completely owns their masters, ensuring their creative output stays entirely in their own hands. As they prepare to share the stage at the Vic Theatre with Local H, Vogeler chats about the camaraderie of the road, the enduring legacy of Steve Albini, and why age has absolutely nothing to do with making great, muscular rock and roll.   Featured Sponsor: Exploding House Printing Exploding House Printing is here for all of your screen printing, embroidery, and other merchandising needs.

Gang of Four's Entertainment! is the moment post‑punk stopped being a scene and started sounding like a threat. This 1979 debut didn't just tweak punk's formula—it rewired it, turning guitars into percussion, bass into a funk‑driven anchor, and lyrics into a full‑frontal critique of capitalism, modern life, and what it even means to be “punk” in the first place.In this episode of Dig Me Out, Jason, Tim, and Chip dig into how Entertainment! won a razor‑thin community poll over The Damned, Lone Star, and Throbbing Gristle, then unpack why listeners still fight for this record decades later. They trace the band's tangled history (from Jon King and Andy Gill's art‑school origins to ever‑changing lineups), break down the album's knife‑edge guitar work and robotic‑yet‑human rhythms, and explore how songs like “Ether,” “Damaged Goods,” “At Home He's a Tourist,” and “Anthrax” smuggle political theory, biblical references, and literary nods into two‑to‑three‑minute agit‑funk blasts. Along the way, they connect the dots from late‑70s Leeds to 2000s dance‑punk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Local H, and beyond—asking what it really means for a rock record to be influential, not just influential‑sounding.If you're into post‑punk, punk, or art‑damaged guitar music that actually swings, this one's for you. Fans of Wire, Public Image Ltd., The Clash's more experimental side, and 2000s bands like The Rapture, Bloc Party, and Franz Ferdinand will hear exactly where their favorite angular riffs and dance‑floor grooves came from.---Episode Highlights• 0:00 – Intro – How a community poll pitted Gang of Four against The Damned, Lone Star, and Throbbing Gristle, and why Entertainment! edged out the win• 5:12 – Setting the stage – Late‑70s Leeds, art school punks, and how Gang of Four stitched punk, funk, reggae, and dub into something new• 13:30 – “Ether” – Opening track breakdown: rhythmic knife‑edge guitars, politicized lyrics, and the groove that anchors the chaos• 20:45 – Rhythm as revolution – Why the band treats guitars and vocals like percussion, and how their subtractive choruses flip rock song structure on its head• 27:10 – “Natural's Not In” & “Not Great Men” – Capitalism, bodies as “good business,” biblical and literary references, and the link to Manic Street Preachers‑style lyric nerdery• 34:30 – “Damaged Goods” – The band's de facto anthem: from angular verses to that stripped‑back chorus, and how it became a template for generations of bands• 42:05 – “At Home He's a Tourist” & “5.45” – Melodica lines, TV‑age dread, and the way the record feels both 1979 and weirdly timeless• 50:20 – “Anthrax” – Dual vocals, anti‑love‑song energy, and how the band turns noise, rant, and groove into something iconic• 58:40 – Influence and aftershocks – From Flea and Red Hot Chili Peppers to The Rapture, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Local H, and Run the Jewels sampling “Ether”• 1:06:15 – Does it still work front to back? – The guys debate the 40‑minute runtime, favorite cuts, what they'd trim, and whether Entertainment! is best as full album or curated gateway• 1:13:50 – Final verdicts – Where Entertainment! lands in the Gang of Four catalog, why it's still required listening, and who this record is really for---If you love digging into the stories behind post‑punk, late‑70s rock, and the records that quietly rewrote the rulebook, hit follow and subscribe so you don't miss future episodes.

“You're listening to SONG IMPLODER — where musicians take apart their songs piece by piece and tell the story of how they were made. And then talk shit about those songs and make you embarrassed you asked about them in the first place. On this episode we finish our two-part examination of Local H's 2nd studio album: AS GOOD AS DEAD. Released in April of 1996, the album would prove to be the band's commercial and artistic breakthrough, spawning several ‘90s alternative radio hits — including “Bound For The Floor”, “Eddie Vedder” and “Fritz's Corner”. Now on the eve of a band sanctioned remastered re-release, we join singer/songwriter/guitarist Scott Lucas, producer Steven Haigler, and master of his domain Gabe Rodriguez to look back on the writing, recording and reception of the album that Lucas and many of the band's fans have come to see as their biggest seller. I'm Ben Reiser.”

The Rizzuto Show accidentally turns into a full-blown 90s alternative rock therapy session this episode — and honestly, we're not qualified for that kind of emotional labor. Jimmy Griffin joins the crew ahead of Hard Promises taking over The Pageant, and things immediately derail into a passionate debate over which songs got CRANKED in your Geo Metro and which songs made you consider driving directly into the nearest retaining wall. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.The gang breaks down the magic of The Pageant in St. Louis, why certain venues just hit different, and how every local musician basically treats that stage like sacred ground. Jimmy, Moon, and the crew talk touring memories, legendary staff, and why The Pageant remains one of the best venues in the country. Meanwhile, Rafe contributes important scientific analysis like “this song belongs in the organic peanut butter aisle at Schnucks.”Then comes the glorious avalanche of 90s nostalgia. Bush. Silverchair. Local H. Soul Asylum. Fastball. Collective Soul. Gin Blossoms. Primitive Radio Gods. The Wallflowers. Deep Blue Something. Dishwalla. Basically every song that ever played while your parents fought in the front seat of a Dodge Neon. The crew debates which songs were instant “turn-it-up” classics and which ones deserved immediate radio execution. Lern reveals her absolute hatred for “Runaway Train,” Moon passionately defends Silverchair with the energy of a man protecting sacred scripture, and Jimmy Griffin admits he thought Silverchair was just “baby Nirvana.” Somewhere during all this, Rizz realizes half these bands were apparently “for the girls,” which honestly explains a lot.Jimmy also talks about performing Tom Petty songs with Hard Promises, including why Petty's catalog is basically impossible to screw up because the songs are deceptively simple and annoyingly perfect. The crew gets into favorite deep cuts, beginner guitar memories, and the undeniable brilliance of “Last Dance with Mary Jane.” Jimmy then performs an acoustic version live in studio that immediately makes everyone forget they spent the previous hour roasting Primitive Radio Gods.But the true MVP moment of this entire episode? Jimmy's AutoZone story. A random guy confidently tells him he looks like “Earl Smith” — apparently the legendary frontman of Aerosmith now has the name of a retired high school baseball coach from Festus. Congratulations to the world on accidentally creating the greatest fake musician name in history.This episode has everything:90s alt-rock chaosTom Petty appreciationaggressive music opinionsweirdly emotional radio nostalgiaGeo Metro memoriesgrocery store soundtrack analysisand a new tribute band idea called EARL SMITHJust another completely reasonable daily comedy experience from The Rizzuto Show. Because if we're not yelling about Fastball in 2026, what are we even doing anymore?And yes… somebody definitely threatened to drive off a bridge because of Primitive Radio Gods.A completely stable and emotionally healthy daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to get charmed! Our guest is drummer Mark Reznicek of Toadies, whose long-awaited eighth album The Charmer is out now. It's been nine years since their last album, but given the wild story of how their follow-up to 1994's platinum-selling Rubberneck was delayed all the way into the nu metal era, they're a band that understands the benefits of patience. Their endurance as a band has in no small part been due to the continued love and support they've received in their hometown of Fort Worth, where they've achieved cult favorite status. The Charmer was one of the last records recorded by legendary producer/engineer Steve Albini before his passing in 2024, and it deals with Toadies frontman Vaden Todd Lewis's struggles with depression and mental health. For our money, it's among the band's best works. Mark takes us through the process of recording the album and working with the famously opinionated Albini, and even humors us on a detour into Buzzkill, the Dark Horse/Image comic he co-created that played a part in launching the career of one of Marvel's "it" writers, Donny Cates. This is one we've waited 35 years for. Enjoy. And see Toadies on tour this year with Local H. You won't regret it.

The great Jack Douglas passed away earlier this week and we over at the LIFERS podcast —much like the rest of the world— have been thinking about him and all the wonderful records he helped to make. Scott was lucky enough to work with Jack on Local H's fourth record (HERE COMES THE ZOO) and one of the last conversations they had with each other was actually an interview recorded at Gman Tavern in Chicago — which was then aired on episode 155 of our show. So 100 episodes later — here it is again. Unfortunately for you (and very fortunately for Scott) all the best stories were told beforehand over drinks at the bar. It was one of many priceless experiences Scott got to have with him. R.I.P., Jack.

Scott is in Texas. Texas sucks. For cellular coverage. And other reasons. It is May 1st. Gabe is eating pizza. Ben is growing a beard. Scott is in a van. Movies are discussed. Texas is discussed. Pantera is discussed. Will this episode stay up on Spotify? Doubtful. Will this episode stay up anywhere after today? Doubtful. Listen while you can, but don't worry if you can't. In the meantime, come see Local H on tour with Toadies!

It's Gabe's favorite time of year AGAIN! We pick over this year's crop of nominees for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame and decide which ones we love, which ones we hate the least, and which ones we're not touching with a ten foot pole. Is this Iron Maiden's year? Will Ben ever get over Joy Division being lumped in with New Order? Who keeps nominating Billy Idol? And who gives a shit??? PLUS!: Local H driver and Karen wrangler Pete Beeman checks in with a new prank call project.

I have quite possibly the only Local H Tribute/Cover band known to mankind on the show today. I gave them a real humdinger of a quiz on Local H. Find out how they started, what shows they're playing and how they would react to opening for the band they are tributing. Upcoming Radar Waves Shows:April 24th - WC Social Club.

Wing Han Tsang was from Hong Kong and started singing as a hobby when she moved to New Zealand. Surprisingly, she made it kinda big. "South Park" even parodied her back in the day.3.

You know, just regular Christmas caroler stuff. 4. "Little Drummer Boy" by William Hung. Isn't it crazy to think there's a whole generation who has no idea who this "American Idol" treasure is? 5. "I Got a Cold for Christmas" by the Three Stooges. Not terrible, but not exactly a classic.6. "Jingle Bells" by William Shatner, featuring Henry Rollins. Yes, THAT Henry Rollins.7. "Santa Claws Is Coming to Town" by Alice Cooper, featuring John 5, Billy Sheehan, and Vinny Appice. 8. "The Night Before Christmas" by David Hasselhoff.

This one has a cameo by a pre-Oval Office Donald Trump, who offers Rudolph a job in place of Santa.10. "Jingle Hell" by Christopher Lee. Yes, one of the greatest actors of all time. He dabbled in heavy metal later in life. This actually isn't his only holiday song, either. He also did covers of "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Silent Night".11. "Away in a Manger" by the Brady Bunch. This one only features the vocal talents of Marcia, a.k.a. Maureen McCormick. It's from an album called "Merry Christmas from the Brady Bunch".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Here's a tightened, smoother version:Once Every Two Weeks heads back to Tampa for part two of its deep dive into Mighty Joe Plum and their cult‑classic album, The Happiest Dogs—this time without guests, but with even more stories, memories, and unapologetic track‑by‑track nerding out.Mark and Thom start with life updates and live‑show war stories: canceled Bush plans, road trips to Oklahoma, and nights out with Sponge, Local H, Everclear, Counting Crows, and Gaslight Anthem—with plenty of opinions on which aging bands have aged well, and which absolutely have not. That conversation about getting older on stage becomes the framework for the whole episode.From there, they return to Mighty Joe Plum: Florida kids who turned youth‑group friendships into a major‑label deal and a regional hit, only to end up as one of the '90s great “almost lost” bands. They trace the band's path through Orlando station WJRR, producer Justin Niebank, a sound that was “just rock” with a subtle twang, and a history that somehow barely exists online—making this podcast an accidental archive for The Happiest Dogs.Most of the episode is a deep musical dive. Mark and Thom walk through the record song by song, highlighting Brett Williams' vivid but economical lyrics, his shifting vocal delivery, and the way the band quietly bends standard verse–chorus structures into something more interesting. From the opener “Irish” through “Borderline,” “I Fell In,” “Miss Hollywood,” “Stupid,” “Go Now,” “Sweet Orange Marmalade,” “Lumberjack,” and “Please Hear Me,” they talk textures, hooks, and the emotional weight behind deceptively simple lines.They give special focus to the single “Live Through This (Fifteen Stories),” which reached number six on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and turned an unlikely image—an ant's resilience—into a surprisingly hopeful rock anthem. Along the way they dig up old reviews, stray blog posts, and even a relic of a band website, laughing at odd U2 comparisons while insisting the song has genuinely held up.In the final stretch, they look at what came after: members moving into new projects, Mark Mercado's later work in A&R, Brett's unfinished Peddling Home material, and how one guest vocal with Jeff (as Horace Holloway) now feels like an “unofficial final” Mighty Joe Plum track. They each name their top three songs from The Happiest Dogs (with “Live Through This (Fifteen Stories)” at number one for both) and invite listeners to queue up the whole album, share their own memories, and argue with their picks—because on Once Every Two Weeks, the nostalgia is real, the music matters, and the conversation is the best part.

This week, we're scratching The Itch to play catch-up! The Itch saw so many shows in September and October that we're still recapping them in November! This work is exhausting, but it's worth it when you get to see legends, modern stars, and triumphant returns. And that's just what we did. First, Aaron and KC visited the Family Arena to see Everclear on their Sparkle and Fade anniversary tour alongside fellow alt rockers Local H and Sponge. Then, Dan and his family caught Itch guests Halestorm and Apocalyptica with Lindsey Stirling on a rainy night at St. Louis Music Park. And finally, Aaron was at long last introduced to the "Panera Bread" of music venues when he and KC saw the return of Revis alongside Emerge at Delmar Hall. Enjoy.

In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're reliving the one hit wonders of the 1990s. This was a defining decade for us because it's when we graduated high school and college, and we spent a lot of it slinging CDs in a record store, back when your local mall had record stores. Music was literally in the background all the time, whether we were watching MTV, sitting in our rooms rocking out, cranking it up while driving our first cars, or helping customers find the cassette single of Macarena or Zoot Suit Riot.  We put together a playlist of over 135 one hit wonders from the 90s. There's no way we'll get to them all, but we've got alternative rock from Blind Melon, Blur, the Flys, Local H, Ben Folds Five, Dishwalla, and more. The two single greatest hip hop songs of all time in the Humpty Dance and Baby Got Back. Singer songwriters like Eagle Eye Cherry, Duncan Sheik, and Jill Sobule.  Nu metal, dance music, and all of that weird, quirky stuff like swing music, Right Said Fred, Haddaway, and more.  We're going to talk about songs you haven't thought of in years and some you wish you never heard again. All you Gen Xers are gonna want to pay attention to this one. Let's hit it! Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠h⁠ere⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Local H's major label debut album, Ham Fisted. To celebrate this milestone, the band has recorded and released a brand new re-imagining of the album, which they are calling reFISTED. On this special edition of song imploder Ben Reiser sat down with frontman Scott Lucas and G&P records head honcho Gabe Rodriguez for a deep dive into their thoughts and feelings about the original Ham Fisted as well as a thorough exploration of every track on the new release.

Chasta & Huey talked to Everclear frontman Art Alexakis about the band's upcoming Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour, his experience dealing with the Southern California wildfires, his band's success in the 90s, being vulnerable with his song writing process by mixing the darkness from his childhood with Rock N' Roll, reflecting on his time living and performing music in the Bay Area. Everclear, Local H & Sponge will be at The Guild Theatre in Menlo Park on Friday, September 5th. For tickets go to: guildtheatre.com Everclear, Local H & Sponge will be at August Hall in San Francisco on Saturday, September 6th.

This week we welcome our ol' buddy Art Alexakis to the podcast to talk about this little tour he's doing with Scott in about two weeks from now. No big deal. We also talk about Art's band Everclear, their major label breakthrough SPARKLE AND FADE (which turned 30 this year and is the reason for this little 2 month tour that Everclear's doing with Local H and Sponge, by the way), their indie label breakthrough WORLD OF NOISE, California projects, Portland haters, ditch digging, sobriety, girl dads, smoking cigars with Butch Vig, Geddy Lee, Paul Stanley, and we pick the best(?!?) California songs (don't worry, we didn't let Art pick “Santa Monica”). PLUS: Scottie Rose tries to put the kibosh on all of it.

Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot talk with Local H founder Scott Lucas about the band and their new documentary, Lifers.

Music weaves through our lives, serving as the soundtrack to our memories, moods, and milestone moments. After a longer-than-expected hiatus, we reunite to explore the question that connects every listener: what's playing through your earbuds right now?Jim pulls back the curtain on his recent obsession with Swedish sleaze metal, a genre that's been thriving since the early 2000s as a revival of 80s glam rock. From bands like Hardcore Superstar and Crash Diet to the surprising statistic that Sweden boasts 428 metal bands compared to America's 72, we dive into how musical discovery often follows unexpected pathways. His journey from Japanese hair metal to these Nordic headbangers illustrates how one musical passion can lead to another, creating a personalized roadmap of sonic exploration.Keith takes us on a geographical journey through Chicago's rich musical landscape, sharing stories of intimate Local H shows where he was one of just four audience members, and championing bands like Veruca Salt and Cheap Trick. Meanwhile, Scott reveals how movie soundtracks have become his portal to new artists, with Sean Rowe's gritty vocals from "The Accountant" and SYML's calming compositions providing the perfect counterbalance to workplace stress. We reflect on how music discovery has transformed – from saving up for physical albums to the unlimited buffet of streaming services – while acknowledging that some things never change: the thrill of finding something new, the comfort of returning to favorites, and the joy of sharing these discoveries with others. Whether you're cruising with the windows down or seeking refuge from the summer heat, we invite you to think about what's filling your earbuds right now, and perhaps consider adding some Swedish sleaze metal to the rotation. Subscribe to join our musical journey and share your own sonic discoveries with us!Thanks for listening, hope you come back next weekSupport the showThank you for joining us on today's show, as always, we appreciate each and every one of you!

After a week off, the boys are back on their mics (Gabe's is working!) for a fond look back on an iconic Local H morning television appearance. Also: An informal What's the Best Spielberg?!? What's the Best grilled cheese?!? Gabe contemplates breaking his exclusive LIFERS contract, Ben goes third person, Scott stays limber, and Justine dares Gabe to say it to her face. Enjoy!

On this episode, we dive into the new concert film Lifers with two of the people who know it best because they lived it: Local H's Scott Lucas and cinematographer Wes Knot.They talk with Radio Milwaukee's Dori Zori about how the idea for Lifers came about during Local H's COVID-delayed tour and how Lucas wanted to create something beyond a typical concert video, drawing inspiration from movies like Goodbye Dragon Inn and Slacker. What they ended up with is a unique blend of live performance footage from their final tour stop at the Metro in Chicago and narrative vignettes featuring both actors and real concertgoers.Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

In this episode of Seeing Them Live, host Charles Berman interviews Giuliana Funkhauser, a transdisciplinary artist known for her innovative blend of digital code and synthesized audio to create immersive art installations. Giuliana, based on the U.S. East Coast, completed her graduate studies at the San Francisco Art Institute, concentrating on art and technology, with a particular interest in sound synthesis. Besides her artistic endeavors, she teaches courses on data sonification and video game development. Her collaborative projects include working with musical artist Elizabeth Verosa and visual artist Alison Tannenhaus, performing excerpts from their EP '2021' in events such as the 2022 New England Synthesizer Festival. Additionally, Verosa and Funkhauser's track is featured in the Rewoven Transmissions collection, a remix of Cathode Raytube's works.Giuliana's shares how she got introduced to music and her unique concert experiences, ranging from middle school outings to witnessing legendary bands like Everclear, Judas Priest, and Iggy Pop. She recounts attending the Radio 104 Fest and vividly describes how Everclear was not her favorite but ended up being the main act she saw due to time restrictions. A humorous and memorable moment emerges from a misunderstanding that led to her attending a performance by Mono of Japan instead of the expected European band Mono, a life-changing encounter that profoundly influenced her musical tastesGiuliana also narrates her experiences at the Halloween Industrial Music Fest during Hurricane Sandy, where she saw numerous notable acts like Author & Punisher and Theologian in an incredibly intense, weather-challenged environment. Her story culminates in recounting the remarkable Sunn O show, a visceral and intense performance where the sheer power of the sound and visuals led to a memorable audience connection.Throughout the discussion, Giuliana elaborates on her creative process, revealing how she and her collaborators use data sonification and visual cues to guide their live performances and improvisations. Listeners are invited to explore Giuliana's work further on her website  gfunkhouser.com and through various platforms like Bandcamp that feature her recordings.BANDS: Animals, Author and Punisher, Big Brave, Bohemia, Butthole Surfers, Candlebox, Cathode Ray Tube, Cracker, David Linton, Dead Voices on Air, Dear Woman, Dishwalla, Everclear, Flock of Seagulls, Freeze Pop, Go Go's, Harpy, Iggy pop, Inkanti, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, King Gizzard, Lady Purge, Local H, Lush, Mogwai, Mono, Otto von Schirach, Police, Semisonic, Snowbeasts, Stabbing Westward, Sunn, The Pretenders, Theologian, Tony the Floyd Dementia, Uriah HeepVENUES: Club X, Radio 104 Fest PATREON:https://www.patreon.com/SeeingThemLivePlease help us defer the cost of producing this podcast by making a donation on Patreon.WEBSITE:https://seeingthemlive.com/Visit the Seeing Them Live website for bonus materials including the show blog, resource links for concert buffs, photos, materials related to our episodes, and our Ticket Stub Museum.INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/seeingthemlive/FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550090670708

When Scott and William Goldsmith first met in 1993, Local H and Sunny Day Real Estate were sharing a bill at the Avalon in Chicago (RIP). The next day, Sunny Day went into Idful studios with Brad Wood and started recording one of the best and (turns out) most influential indie-rock records of the ‘90s. Who knew? On this episode we talk to Will about Sub Pop, Neil Peart, Emo, hardcore, walking away, coming back, being in a band as a child versus being in a band as an adult, Will's brother Brian, Will's band Assertion, Greg Suran, Lionel Ritchie, and then we pick the best music from David Lynch movies. Silencio!

Scott's in Lancaster tonight with the LIFERS movie — so we figured we'd run this in lieu of an actual episode: A recording of Ben, Gabe & Scott presenting a showing of LIFERS: A LOCAL H MOVIE to a packed house in Hobart, Indiana on January 2nd of this new year. Special thanks to the great audience and crew at the Hobart Art Theatre. We had a great time!

You probably wouldn't think that becoming a tattoo-sporting member of the FBI-listed Insane Clown Posse Juggalo gang would lead to a long career in the music business. But according to Bob Lugowe — you'd be wrong. And seeing as how Bob is one of the most stand-up dudes we've ever encountered in this biz; we can't really argue with the results. On this episode we talk to the Brutal Panda honcho about running a record label, working at Relapse, starting out on the Local H street team, having the cool mom, Sony, Beyonce, Priest, Mariah, Christmas downloads, alt-rock reissues, the late Mike Lara, Fight Amp, Couch Slut, Cherubs, and we play an insanely/brutally hard round of WHAT'S THE BEST?!? featuring Prince.

Blake Smith and his rock band Figdish from the 90's Chicago scene has never taken things too seriously; never been careerists, and in fact went out of their way to indulge in hijinx and sabotage, despite ending up with 2 hugely influential records and a solid major label record deal. This was the band that came of age with Varuca Salt, Local H and Smoking Popes with comparisons to Replacements and Husker Du that intentionally played a set of Neil Diamond covers at a label showcase in front of A&R from all the biggies. The same band that threw a sandwich off their hotel balcony and covered Marilyn Manson and his crew in hoagie. Blake Smith and band mate Mike Wilison went on to start the electronica based project Caviar with pretty solid success with lots of TV and film placement. But its the music that was written before they lost their record deal with Polygram that is the focus of a new Figdish release, the first in over 25 years, called Feels Like The Very First Two Times (Forge Again). These apocryphal songs complete the journey of this band and round out a top flight collection of powerful chicago indierock of the 90's scene that left a lasting impact on rock today, despite the hijinx and sabotage. 

Frank Phobia is a sweetheart. He's also the leader of Anthrophobia (who happen to be releasing their new J. Robbins produced record GOING OUT SWINGING on the 22nd of this month). But mainly — he's a sweetheart. One that has been a low key hero to countless touring bands that have made their way through various venues in Pennsylvania for God knows how many years. The man's an institution. On this episode we talk to Frank about his mentor Carol Schutzbank, Chameleon Club, bouncing around PA, major label lessons, pseudonyms, being a punk-rock pillar, Steve Harris, Bob Stinson, booking Local H, booking the Local H movie, Zoetropolis vs Zoetrope, pussy and money, Lititz, hair farmers, Rights of the Accused, New Coke, and WHAT'S THE BEST?!?: 1985.
