About this listen

 🎺 Join hosts Pete Jansons and Bongo Mike Orfanos for a high-octane episode of the HogPod Chicago Music Scene Podcast with the legendary Mitch The Lip! A trumpet master 🎶 who also slays on drums 🥁 and guitar 🎸, Mitch takes us through his ’80s ska 🎷 and reggae gigs, reminiscing about Chicago’s iconic venues like the Wild Hare, West End, and Cubby Bear. He name-drops ska pioneers like Skanking Lizards while breaking down the genre’s three waves 🌊 and the old-school hustle of promoting shows with light poles and faxes 📠.🔥 Mitch debunks the myth that original music is dead, shouting out 🎤 Derek Procell and Push Puppets, and tackles today’s short attention spans 🧠. Get the scoop on his band, Mitch The Lip and The Side Hustle, upcoming gigs 🎟️ at Toad Stool Pub and Sundance Saloon, and how to book him for corporate events or weddings 💍 at mitchthelip.com. Plus, hear why 🎺 Clark Terry is his trumpet hero and why 🎞️ Bird is a must-watch horn movie!🎧 Hosts Mike Orfanos and Pete Jansons keep the vibe loose, nostalgic 🕶️, and hilariously insightful 😂 — while Beth Miller keeps the bookings tight as always.0:00 🎵 Intro and Music6:00 📅 Mike Orfanos Schedule Update – / 674598988397279 7:38 🎺 Mitch The Lip Intro, Mitch The Lip and Side Hustle – / bsidehustle / events / soundtracksofageneration 11:54 🎸 Mitch’s Multi-Instrumental Talents13:25 🎷 Ska Music in Chicago, Mention of Skanking Lizards, Wild Hare, Frankie Hill Band, Skatalites – https://chicagoreader.com/music/skank...16:38 🌊 Different Waves of Ska19:07 🎤 West End, Cubby Bear, Susie Miller, Lounge Ax, Jeff Tweedy21:00 🎺 What You Need to Know About Playing the Trumpet22:38 📠 Marketing Back in the Day: Copy Machines, Faxes, Scotch Tape, and Light Poles24:40 📰 Chicago Reader, Illinois Entertainer26:22 🍀 Biddy Mulligans27:12 ⚡ 80s Chicago Punk Rock and Cubby Bear31:30 📱 Music Consumption Now vs. Then34:40 📹 Push Puppets Video – • Push Puppets - "Hearts Aren't Souveni... https://www.pushpuppets.net/about/40:24 🔥 Debunking the Myth: Good Original Music Is Still Being Made40:41 🎤 Derek Procell Show Clip – • Derrick Procell: Chicago's Blues & Am... 42:05 🧠 Kids Today: Short Attention Spans and Preference for Softer Music44:15 🎥 Wolfgang Paul Show Clips – • Wolfgang Paul (ARRA, Tom Sawyer) | Ch... 44:31 🎸 Pete Dinkleson Show Clip – • Thanksgiving with Peter Dankelson: Mu... 47:37 🌍 Khruangbin Band – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khruangbin48:54 🎺 How Does a Trumpet Work?50:40 📈 Evolution of the Trumpet and Trumpet Players50:54 🎷 Louis Armstrong (Satchmo)51:56 🎥 Jeff Anthony Show Clip – • HOG POD Podcast: Jeff Anthony Talks T... 52:20 🚎 Chicago Transit Authority and Horns in Rock53:20 💰 The Concept of Selling Out54:30 👶 Are Younger Generations Taking Up the Trumpet?56:23 🎼 Role of Trumpet vs. Sax in a Jazz Band1:00:00 📻 Is WNUA Still Around?
