Welcome to the Gabba Gabba Huh? Podcast, featuring the best of The Carolinas' punk, alternative, hard rock, and heavy metal from the past 40 years. While the main podcast (Gabba Gabba Huh? Talks) will be more converstional and interview style, while "Gabba Gabba Huh? Radio" will focus on the music, with some background information on the songs and bands featured. Most songs will be digitized from original vinyl, cassette, or CD sources, thus the quality will vary, but will be rather true to the original form. Hosted by Mike Phillips from Van Huskins

Talks! - Episode 46 - Will Saint Creek Returns! 14.07.2021

This week, I drove up to Cornelius, NC to hang out with 3/4 of Will Saint Creek! This time, I made sure the recorder was running (though when I went to adjust some audio levels today my project file was corrupt, so maybe there's a curse!), and we talked about their new singles,  the Milestone, injuries, side projects, self promotion, The Barrycade, and more! https://willsaintcreek.bandcamp.co...

Talks! Episode 45 - Gregory Ellis (Salvo Rain/Motel Glory) 23.06.2021

Wherever you listen to podcasts: https://linktr.ee/gabbagabbahuh For this week's episode, I drove down to Rock Hill, SC to talk to Gregory Ellis, currently of Motel Glory. We sat outside, as it was such a nice day (get ready for some bird calls and a little bit of traffic), and talked about our old days playing punk rock in the early nineties, K-Tel compilations, The Sweaty Monkey Goes Fishin...

Talks! Minisode 44.5 - Russ Ward 18.06.2021

Hey! Here's just a little extra from the Russ Ward episode. I completely left off the "what's next part" because I found the perfect place the end the episode, but this is some great info if you want to know what's going on in the world of ANTiSEEN, as well as other projects Russ is involved in. This one is short and sweet, but definitely essential!  http://antiseen.com/ S...

We talk about the early days of playing shows together in 1993, the MBW nickname and persona, GG Allin, getting banned from the Milestone (twice), his retirement from music and the event that changed that, and his new KISS nerd podcast. Be sure to listen all th...

Talks! Episode 43 - Prehistoric Jon and Eric Huskins 09.06.2021

Finally back with a new Talks! episode! This week I got to hang out with two of my best friends and record one heck of an episode for you. Jon Bowman returns to talk about a new single called Fight, that he's dropping TODAY (go listen at prehistoricjon.bandcamp.com as you won't hear the whole thing in this episode)! Eric Huskins from Van Huskins also joins us for a very unfocused episode...

Talks! Episode 42 - Michael Carpenter/The Rooster 19.05.2021

This week I sat down with Michael Carpenter, of the upcoming Gastonia, NC music venue, The Rooster! This episode is a little different as it features no music! It's also my first episode that doesn't feature a practicing musician, though I intend to bring you more like this in the future! We start off "talking shop" a little bit as well as discussing the trip to Myrtle Beach to...

Talks! Episode 40 - Ryan McGinnis (My So-Called Band/The World Famous Milestone) 21.04.2021

After almost a year of trying to get this together I finally got to talk to Ryan McGinnis, who ran the Milestone back in my heyday, and went on to play alongside Chris Peigler in My So-Called Band for many years after. We talk about how he ended up behind the soundboard at the Milestone and how that led to running the place, how he became the guitarist for MSCB, running the local music website, St...

Talks! Episode 39.5 - Robbie Thornton (Bonus Clips!) 18.04.2021

Since I've been a little bit light on the content lately, and because this stuff cut from our conversation is so good, I decided to release this bonus content (usually only available on patreon) as a follow up to the last new episode! This also helps put some things from that episode into context. I don't edit this stuff as heavily as I do the main content, so you get more pregnant pause...

Talks! Episode 39 - Robbie Thornton (Witch Motel/Evergone/The Menders) 07.04.2021

This week, I sat down with Robbie Thornton of Witch Motel, The Menders, and Evergone, for over four hours, to talk about his early days of putting together shows while still in high school, a brush with MTV stardom, a lost sense of smell, quitting music at an early age, and then finding that spark again through a broader spectrum of music. We talk about his bands, past and present, and hit so many...

Talks! Episode 38: Release Series 6 - Trey Spears (The Walbournes) 24.03.2021

This week, I spoke to Trey Spears of The Walbournes for a second time, as he updates me on what's been going on with The Walbournes, including a new single, In My Head (released February 12), more new music on the way, and a new member as well! This will be kind of a time stamp episode as we talk a lot about the turning point in the pandemic, how it has effected us, and how we're optimis...

Talks! Episode 37 - Dewayne Burns (The Map Says We're Fucked, Young Tom Fury, The Style Kings?) 03.03.2021

This week, I sat down with longtime friend, Dewayne Burns, from so many bands I don't even know where to start! Of course, as usual, we talked about his history in bands, but we also talked about his love of movies (including a podcast he has called The Punk rock Movie Discussion!), tour tips, The AGP, and we do some reminiscing about how we kind of knew each other in our pre-punk rock days!...

Talks! 36 - Christopher Bickel (Bad Girls, In/Humanity, Guyana Punch Line) 22.02.2021

This week I talked with director, and Columbia, SC music scene legend (heck, punk rock legend in general), Christopher Bickel via Skype about his history as the singer for such well regarded bands as In/Humanity and Guyana Punch Line, as well as his current projects as director of movies full of sex, drugs , and punk rock and roll. We also talk about the Columbia music scene, mostly past but some...

Radio - Episode 25 - Live Archive: NME 17.02.2021

Since two of my interviews had to be rescheduled, I'll be back with Talks! next week (with a guest who makes movies, in addition to his history in the regional scene). In the meantime, I felt like it was a good time to put out another Live Archive episode! This is another one from the same night as the previous two episodes, recorded by Duane Short, and featuring N.M.E. (No More Excuses) live...

Talks! Episode 35 - Clifton Lee Mann (Bad Checks, Pipe) 03.02.2021

On this week's episode I talk to Clifton Lee Mann via Skype about his musical history, playing in such storied bands as Bad Checks, Pipe, Chrome Plated Apostles, The Ghost of Rock, and more! There's a ton of good triangle music history tidbits in this one, and a possible punk rock royalty connected guitar that inspired his new solo album, "Not For Sale/'46" (on Spotify, Ap...

Welcome back to GGH? for 2021! This week I sat down with Something Went Wrong, in their studio, to talk about their new album and how they got started as a band.

Talks! - Episode 15.5 - Mystery School Records (pt. 2) 30.12.2020

Surprise! Here's a bonus episode of GGH Talks! that I made from the part of my Mystery School Records interviews I never got around to listening to! We recorded so much that I had a full episode before I got to some very important stuff! Audio issues aside (listen to the end to hear more about that), we talk about strategies for split releases, how MSR became the home for ANTiSEEN CDs, the gu...

Radio - Episode 23 (Best of 2020) 23.12.2020

This week's episode of Gabba Gabba Huh? Radio is not only a "best of" 2020, but it's also a one year anniversary marker, and gives you a hint of what's to come if you stick around for the whole thing! These are some of my favorite local songs of the year, and while not everything is included, it's a pretty good representation of what's going on in the NC/SC scene...
