Gabba Gabba Huh?

This week I got my friends Jon and Jordan Bowman to come over and talk about what Warboys US are up to, and what they're up to in general. We kind of go all over the place as this one was just sort of thrown together, and since their stories have already been told, we had plenty of wiggle room for what we could talk about! Expect some general musician talk, peppered with stories about turning...

This week I had my friends James Baker and Josh Featherstone come over to GGH studios to talk about  their band, World Sauntering Day! In addition to talking about their musical careers (though we kinda skipped over Josh's nu metal band when the recorder stopped on us for a minute and we never really picked it back up properly), we also talk about their recording process, their upcoming show...

This week I rode out to (Whoa-oh-whoa-oh!) China Grove to visit with Eddie Ford of the band, Self-Made Monsters.

Back from a previous appearance at the beginning of the pandemic, True Lilith has a new line up and some new music! Through a little bit of technical difficulties, GGHT was back on Skype for a quick, mid-week interview and a quick turnaround podcast! Listen as we talk about musical beginnings, ghostly new singles, and what GGH (and Van Huskins?) is up to these days in this easy to digest episode! ...

This week I took a trip for coffee and then sat down with Otis Hughes to talk about his history playing in such bands as Animal Bag, M4 Messenger, Poor Blue, Skynoceros, The Mystery Plan, Gideon Smith & The Dixie Damned, Overlord, and more, as well as a new, not-yet-named band to debut soon! We talk a lot about being in LA at the end of the eighties, how sometimes a recording deal ends because...

This week I drove out to the cut to interview Laura, Nathan, and Wes of Mercury Dimes! Surrounded by their beautiful farm, along with a barn full of roosters, we sat on their porch and talked about everything from free shows, otc drugs, a band called MILF, the joys of seltzer water, making noise, and of course we talked about their musical journey to becoming Mercury Dimes. We get some rain on the...

This week I sat down with Chuck Garrison on the roof of his practice building, with carpenter bees buzzing, and kids playing in the background. In addition to his time in Pipe, Zen Frisbee, Small, Evil Wiener, The Bad Checks, and Superchunk, we also talk about a lot of Chapel Hill music scene history, why Charlotte has never seen the success of the triangle scene, and how my old band once payed tr...

This week I had a conversation with my friend, Ryan McGinnis! The last time he was on was to talk about and promote his debut novel, Tears of the Dragon . When I heard that he was already releasing the follow up to that awesome first novel, I had to have him on again! We talk about a little bit of everything from what's going on with GGH, covid, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Milestone Club, T...

Back again, after an extended break, and this week I sat down with Robert Everett, owner of Spooky's Records and Collectibles in Gastonia, NC!

This week I sat down with Winston Salem band, Hey Revolver, for a delicious lunch of lasagna thanks to Jon's wife (and garlic bread, thanks to Jon and Harris Teeter), and of course the story of how they became a band (don't worry, we ate prior to recording, not while). In addition to their individual stories, we also talk about stealing music, Prince as a prom date, the importance of not...

So I told you if I couldn't line up an episode, I'd be back with something... well that something is a clip show! And not just any clip show, this is stuff that was cut from the main episodes, along with songs that weren't played on those episodes. If you're a patreon supporter, you've probably heard these clips, but if not, this is an example of what you're missing o...

This week on Gabba Gabba Huh? Radio we go into the Acoustic Storm! The first set is (mostly) acoustic, but don't worry, it gets rowdy towards the end.

Just a quick heads up, there's a decent amount of background noise due to our location, but it never overtakes our conversation! As a matter of fact, have fun playing name that tune with the backgro...

While we, of course, talked about Contagious Graphics and how it got started, we also talked about his two bands (Unvoiced and Üblisch), his time traveling with touring bands, his current money making hobby with model accessories, and why he left not only Contagious Graphics, but also Charlotte (and never looked back). Lots...

This week I sat down with Jordan Bowman, and his brother Jon (y'all should know him by now!) to talk about Jordan's musical journey. By having Jon along, it's also a little bit of a window into brothers playing music together (something that's quite common as you'll learn through this episode). There's a lot more to come from this episode through patreon (I owe patreo...
