Syd Nix joins us today! She tells us how she accidentally went to a meth lab, the story of her wildest fight, and we discuss the difference between a show vs. a concert, yelling at loud a-holes at acoustic shows, & how playing shows at Cubby Bear sucks. Follow Syd on TikTok & IG at @syd.nix right now or else we'll bully you.

Kevin's Story Of The Year beer exploded right before the episode started, which led us to talk about all things drinking, from blackout stories to going sober. Kevin also teaches Dave the meaning of "browning out". #fizzymilk #jizzymilk

Our first episode is finally here! We somehow immediately get into cancel culture, but then also chat about plans for the future of the show, how we learned to play bass & got into singing, promoting our bands in the 2000's vs. now, Kevin old-school pirating music from his local library, and other random stuff.

Hi! We're Dave & Kevin. This is our new podcast. Before we post our first episode, we figure we'd introduce ourselves.

Basically, we're friends from the Chicago music scene. Kevin sings in Guardrail, & Dave sings in Summer Curse. We're very like-minded dudes who are into a lot of the same bands, comedians, movies, shows, & more. So we're gonna talk about all that each episode. Sometimes we'll have a guest, how neat!

Episode 1 coming very soon.

Party on.

It's the spooky episode. We tell ghost stories & recommend horror movies. Ken went to Ireland. Kevin went to When We Were Young. Alyssa is afraid of mirrors. Xack watches questionable content while brushing his teeth.
