Violet, Saffron and Tyler from horror pop-punk band Won't Stay Dead join me for food and adult beverages at DryHop Brewers (3155 N. Broadway).   As we eat delicious DryHop menu items like the DryHop Double Smash Burger, Fried Pickles and the Marinara Pizza, we also enjoy DryHop beers (the beauty of recording outside the car). I had the seasonal Wolpertinger (festbier), and Saffron enjoyed Peaches Peaches Peaches.    Since Won't Stay Dead is a horror-themed band, we talked about all the seasonal things, from candy corn to Wes Craven, Rob Zombie to the Driller Killer.   See Won't Stay Dead as part of Red Scare's 20th anniversary celebration: They're playing at Beat Kitchen on Friday the 13th (naturally) with The Bollweevils, The Brokedowns and Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds. That's a pretty damn epic show.   ##   Car Con Carne is sponsored by Easy Automation.   A smart home connects virtually all of the technology in your home.  With an Easy Automation-installed smart home system, you and your family can control nearly every device and system in the house in ways that are easy and fun to use.   Transform your living space with cutting-edge home automation.

This week we are honored to invite Brendan Kelly into the hall of discussion. Brendan plays bass and sings in The Lawrence Arms and The Falcon and has other projects such as Brendan Kelly and The Wandering Birds. Brendan has also written for The Onion and creates some of your favorite articles for The Hard Times with this wonderfully dark sense of humor. We linked up on a Sunday evening during the holidays and had a nice time catching up and having a lot of laughs. In this episode we get into our love for Bay Area punk, why Fender Jazz basses are the coolest, coming up at The Fireside Bowl, the power of Op Ivy, being a father in a band, playing the War On Christmas show with an untreated case of pneumonia, and lots more.

This week's episode features everyone's favorite eclectically creative punk, Brendan Kelly. From the growth of the beloved Lawrences Arms to his most recent solo work with the Wandering Birds, we dive into Beex's maniacal musical mind, the city of Chicago, his writing career path (with stops at the Onion and the Hard Times) to the utmost importance of being a family man. Give him a follow on IG (dr_beexo) and Twitter (@badsandwich). Read his blog https://badsandwich.substack.com and listen to his podcast labeled Road to the Skeleton Coast. 

Chicago punk-rock legend Brendan Kelly is probably best known for his work with The Lawrence Arms, his previous output in Slapstick and The Broadways, and the hilariously bleak things he tweets as his “Nihilist Arby’s” internet alter ego. Additionally, Kelly bolsters his sterling musical reputation with The Falcon and the misunderstood masterpiece that is his Brendan Kelly and The Wandering Birds solo endeavor. While you likely know and possibly love at least one of those bands, you almost certainly have no awareness of Kelly's preceding projects like Vegetable Train, J.P.B and Gladhand. Kelly recently met My First Band host Tyler Maas in the back room at Gman Tavern in Chicago, where the two talked about the prominent punk rocker's modern-day material, writing songs like "Nuts, Nuts, We Want Nuts" as a grade schooler, playing his first shows in high school, the unexpected rise (and rapid fall) of Slapstick, making kids cry tears of disappointment in The Broadways, and The Lawrence Arms' slow build over the course of their 20 years together. Kelly and Maas both also spent some time discussing the important role Mike Park, of Dill Records and Asian Man Records, played in their musical past. My First Band is sponsored by Boulevard Brewing and is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever else you get podcasts. Music used in this show comes courtesy of Devils Teeth (“The Junction Street Eight Tigers”), Slapstick ("February One") and Brendan Kelly and The Wandering Birds ("Black Cat Boy").
