Gabba Gabba Huh?

This week I went to "World Famous" Shelby, NC to talk to the band Y'all're about, not only how they got started and their upcoming shows, but about the other bands they're connected with as well! The Dancing Fleas, Tex Svengali, The Good Graces, Ministry (not that Ministry!), Metaphonia, and more! This episode is about family, being a weirdo, never being too late to get started, and doing things your own way. Mandatory listening.

This week I sat down with James Sain, Jonny Dick, and Chad Landman to talk all things Fat Tortoise Butcher! And we laugh. A lot. This episode is not for the easily offended! And that's even without that stories that didn't make the cut! In addition to FTB, we also talk about James' side project Friend of Chuck, the art of merchandising, grilling hot dogs on stage, failed chicken fights, and so much more! https://www.lardcore.net/ https://www.youtube.com/@ftbjames https://fattortoisebutcher.bandcamp.com/ Songs for GGHT86: Fat Tortoise Butcher - Bodybag Nefarious - 0.0 Fat Tortoise Butcher - Good Riddance Fat Tortoise Butcher - C-Bass the Butcher Friend of Chuck - Go Ahead and Touch It Fat Tortoise Butcher - Willie Licked My Twizzler Visit Gabba Gabba Records & Vintage Goods!

Who says I don't love drummers?! Gabba Gabba Huh? has the most drummers on and this week it's the drummer from Lonshot Odds, Cory Wittmere! In addition to finding out what's going on with his band, we also talk about his previous projects, having varied influences, the benefits of electronic drums, and Conway Twitty?!

This week, Gary Ramsey paid a visit to the GGH Studio to talk about his nearly 50 years of playing music. Gary is one of a kind and a real hidden gem in the music scene, getting his inspiration by seeing Zeppelin in his teens, cutting his teeth on metal, moving to California and then walking back to North Carolina, a detour in prison after he got back, and America's Got Talent audition, and so many other stories, some of which you aren't gonna believe! Heck, I'm not sure Gary even believes them all! One of the more unique individuals I know and someone who is truly passionate about music, so whether you know him or not, you're sure to be entertained by this one!

This week I spoke with Mitchell McGirt of Bicycle Face via Skype to follow up on how the reunion show went and to hear about the Caleb Southern tribute show the following night as well. We also hit a few quick tangents and talk about what the future may hold for Mitch. This episode was already planned, but having this week's guest reschedule left a hole in the schedule, so this shorter episode should hold you over until next week's new full length episode drops!

This week I travelled to Greensboro, NC, to talk to Bicycle Face about their reunion shows and the reason they came about. In addition to talking about their histories in music, we also talk about witty stage banter, Caleb Southern, where Bicycle Face fit into the triangle signing spree of the mid-nineties, and becoming a "that guy!" actor.

This week I visited Jay Garrigan to talk about his career in music, including stints in such bands as Violet Strange, Laburnum, Temperance League, Poprocket, The Eyebrows and others!

This week I have a shorter, "Release Series" episode! Since it's been a while, Release Series episodes that tend to be shorter and focused on a newly released song. On this episode, Patrick North of Longhost Odds returns to talk about his band's new song, Easy, and what they've been up to. Patrick asks me a few questions too, so you can hear about some things I've been up to as well!

This week I sat down with Jonny Golian (AKA Jonny G) from Reporting from 20XX to talk about his involvement in supporting and documenting the scene through pictures, video, blogging, reviews, show listings, and more! We also talk about how he became acquainted with the local music scene, his time writing for his college paper, how he got into the photography side of things, and his involvement in the drag community, and get off on so many tangents along the way! https://reportingfrom20xx.com/ Songs from GGHT80: The Eyebrows - Have Mercy, Lose Control (https://the-eyebrows.com/) One Big Love - Spaceship (https://www.reverbnation.com/onebiglove) Dollar Signs - Reinventing Dollar Signs (https://dollarsignstheband.com/) Heckdang - (The Death of the) Nuclear Self (https://heckdang.bandcamp.com/) The Girls - Kill (https://thegirls77.bandcamp.com/) Jah Freedom -The Dream, The Bed (https://jahfreeonthebeat.bandcamp.com/) Van Huskins - Super Yikes (vanhuskins.bandcamp.com) Visit Gabba Gabba Records & Vintage Goods!

This week, I spoke to percussionist, Scotty Irving, via Skype on two separate days due to technical difficulties and crossed wires! Scotty is best known as the one man behind the Christian Harsh Noise act, Clang Quartet, but we also talk about his time behind the drums in Geezer Lake, Benj-O-Matic, and Spirit of Hamlet, as well as school band, but the main focus of this one is Scotty's faith.

This week I sat down with the band Bog Loaf, at the bar of The Milestone Club in Charlotte NC to talk about their individual and collective musical journeys! I gush a little bit up front and again at the end about what this place means to me, and we have to deal with a fan in the background (I scrubbed it as much as I could), but then we get around to all things Bog Loaf, including their upcoming residency at Snug Harbor (Every Wednesday, June 2023, https://snugrock.com/) and their recent Living Room Sessions with Nothing But Drums (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC63_LS8s9Z2KbWG98EFVZhg).

This week I decided to follow up my Chuck Walker interview (if you haven't listened, do that. Now), with another South Carolina episode, and with someone that got mentioned in that interview, and spoke with Billy Riot via Skype. We talk about his music, his podcasts, getting sober, and finding God. We also cover how he and Chuck became friends and the things they're going to be doing together in the very near future!

This week I spoke with Chuck Walker via Skype about his influential band, Bedlam Hour. Not only does Chuck walk us through the history of his band, but he also fills in a lot of gaps in the South Carolina punk rock history that hasn't made it on the podcast yet. We also talk about touring, his side projects, how punk rock and old age go hand in hand, we have a brief visit from my parents dogs, and talk about getting the band back together!

This week's episode is another crossover episode. Much like GGHT73 with The Rooster and Queen City Rejects, part one of this episode can be heard on another podcast! Before we recorded this episode I was the guest on Imvibes Podcast season 4 episode 3 (titled The Crossover), so go listen to that one before or after mine! This week, me and my guests are Eric Milatz and Ernest Stevenson talk about how their podcast recently lost some members, their beginnings in music (including some Polka talk!), where the podcast is heading next, and we give a lot of love to Tommy's Pub, who was gracious enough to host us for the evening. And then we round it all out with a little jazz in the background!

This week I visited The Rooster to record a two part episode with not only the owner of The Rooster, but Jonny and Matt from Queen City Rejects as well! On my half of the podcast, we talk about the trials of getting The Rooster open, how things are going since opening, and about a big punk rock show happening on 3.11.23 with Queen City Rejects, No Anger Control, Self Made Monsters, Van Huskins, and Y'all're! And since QCR is along for the ride on this one, we also talk about how this will be their final show! This one is filled with laughs and plenty of tangents, but we always get back to the subjects at hand! This episode is actually part two, so to hear part one, search Rooster Radio E69 wherever you listen to podcasts! Both episodes are also available in video from on youtube; see links below!

This week I visited Jason Parker at his studio to talk about not only his time in music, but his current career using his artistic skills as well. We talk about his beginnings with ihafwhohas and the Milestone scene during the mid to late nineties, as well as his other bands, The Vivians, Death and Fame, Throw It To Lucas, and The Dielectrics, how he turned graffiti into a career, and then talks about his upcoming solo project.

This week T.j. Bravo paid a visit to Gabba Gabba Huh? Manor to talk about his time playing in the bands, such as Polish Friday, LEGGGs, Mr. Gold, Chase Warren & The Homewreckers, and Blame it on Bart, his involvement with Don't Sweat It Inc., Band from a Hat, DIY, and more! This was a fun conversation to both have and to listen to as well and easily goes down as one of my favorites just because of all the things we end up touching on!

New year, new format? Sort of! Gabba Gabba Huh? is back with a tighter, more focused episode for your listening pleasure! This doesn't mean that the longer, artist's journey, style episodes are done, but expect a good mix of the two as I intend to bring you more consistent content for your ears this year! This week, I once again visit with Luke Edwards at his home in Shelby, NC to catch up on what's been going on with his Motörhead tribute band, Killed By Death. We also talk about the recent show he played with his former Animal Bag bandmate, Otis Hughes, about his town's relationship (or lack of) with heavier music, and round it out by talking about how a couple of old timers like us just have an addiction for this stuff!

Gabba Gabba Huh? is back?! Yes! At least this week! After this, it may (or may not) be next year before I get the ball really rolling again. Hear a little bit about that up front, but I was having microphone issues (causing some audio issues throughout), so some of what I had to say never made it, but you'll get the idea! This week's guest is Ahvid Harris, a local self-described impressionist, with poetry being the main subject. A little bit of a departure, but still local, still the arts, and still DIY. What you'll get here is two recent friends getting a chance to know each other a little bit more and talk about how our crafts are actually quite similar. Stick around through the sometimes crummy audio to hear some wonderfully recited poetry (luckily my audio issues not present during these segments), and get to know a little bit about the local poetry scene!
