About this listen
In a special live in-studio performance at Pirate Cat Radio, the legendary third-wave ska band Slow Gherkin joined the host for an energetic session. The show was broadcast to the station's various frequencies, including those in Los Gatos, Santa Cruz, and Portland. The host, a self-proclaimed long-time fan, expressed that having the band in the studio was a "teenage dream come true."
The band, whose members have known each other since high school (and even preschool for some), explained that they reunited for a big, free, all-ages show in Santa Cruz. Throughout the session, they played several fan favorites, including "How Now Lowbrow" from their second album and "Slaughterhouse" from their debut.
Interspersed with the music, the band shared personal anecdotes, including the story behind their "Join or Die" logo and a near-miss with getting matching tattoos in El Paso, as well as the story behind their "Fangbat" logo. They also gave an update on a book project, a "skatobiography" titled "Run Screaming," that documents their journey. The performance concluded with a song dedicated to a fan named Scott and a live request from a friend who arrived at the studio.
