How Ya Goin'? with Dr. Knighty

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? This is the final episode in season 1 of the show. And it's an extra special one with cherries on top. I had such a good time making the show with Sam the producer, that I asked him to tag along with us for a bit of our tour. We had a great week, and I reckon you're going to like Sam's take on what it's like to spend a few days with us. So kick back, crack open a ca...

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? You’ll know my mate in this episode as the most talented and best-looking Cosmic Psycho: the star of the show, John “Mad Macka” McKeering. Macka is one of the most interesting blokes I know. Not only can he shred like no one else, but as he tells it, he’s had four careers. The first of them, was as a swimming coach. He was bloody handy as a swimmer himself, but foun...

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? You’ll know my mate in this episode as the drummer for Mudhoney. He’s one of the original members, and has been twirling his sticks with them since they started way back in 1988. Dan and I go way back.

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? You’ll know my mate in this episode as the guitarist and lead singer for Dune Rats. Psychos and Dune Rats go a long way back. They’re like the little brothers we never had. I love playing with them on stage, and mucking around with them once the show’s done. Since 2010, the Dunies have released five albums, know how to make a bloody good music video clip, and regula...

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? You’ll know my mate in this episode as the vocalist and guitarist for the mighty, psyc-rock powerhouse, Wolfmother. They've been around since 2004 and after putting out their self-titled debut album, became instantly super-famous.

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? You’ll know my mate in this episode as the guitarist for the unreal, and not at all difficult to say, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.

Teen Jesus are currently setting the world on fire with their catchy and...

The Psychos have been lucky to tour with The Chats a bunch of times, and hanging out with them is always a fun time. They’re one of the hardest working and creative bands I know. They’ve even won an ARIA and an APRA for how good they are at writing songs. And their frontman, Eamon is...

G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’? The legend in this episode is the lead singer and guitarist for L7. They’ve been around since the mid-80s, which makes em almost as old as the Psychos. They’ve released seven studio albums over the years, with the latest coming in 2019. Their music is everywhere in movies and tv, and as a band they used their platform to fight for abortion rights back in the 90s. Bu...

Welcome to the first episode of How Ya Going? The bloke in this episode is the frontman for You Am I and more recently the Hard-ons. But he’s also got a cracking solo career going and seems to be playing music all over the place as well as popping up in Hollywood movies and on the tele.
