On the RoadCast - Snacks, Trucks and Rock'n'Roll

Here it is - our final (😭😭😭) Sisters Festival Special for this year - featuring the all-girl Austrian powerhouse @crushtheband . We're picking the "moms-on-tour-challenge" topic back up, but also 😵‍💫 when shows almost go down the drain (thanks, local prod! not.) 🫸se*ism and lines being crossed in the industry (check out Crush's Zine "Let's make a scene" here h...

Not even broken rides or lack of naps could stop this superwoman from opening the 2024's Sisters Festival! Everybody buckle up for a brand new drop of On the RoadCast x Sisters of Music with the lovely Baiba, featuring:   👴🏠 questionable venue choices 🎤 why Baiba didn't join Eurovision Song Contest 🌎 it's a small world (in the music business) ⭐ being artsy + freshly ditched + writ...

Welcome back, sisters (and brothers!)!👧👦🎉 For the second year in a row, the Sisters Festival took place at Arena Wien on July 12th 2024. This time we had the pleasure to welcome Danish singer/rapper Iris Gold . Riding along with the motto of the festival, we obviously had a lot of (but not exclusively) girl talk going on, such as: How's touring as an expecting mother and can you still tour...

Some call him the Savior of guitars aka String Jesus. 🙏🎸Some call him Minimal Effort (actually he, himself). 🤷🏽We (mostly) call him Mike Woods. 😎If you've seen shows of The Ataris, Versus The World or Silver Snakes - you've definitely laid eyes on this handsome friend of ours relentlessly shredding on stage! Or maybe at some of Flogging Molly's (and so many other bands) gigs givin...

This guy is a LEGEND! American Pie and Grey‘s Anatomy actor THOMAS NICHOLAS took some time in his busy touring schedule to talk to us - to say we had a blast is an understatement!! He‘s touring Europe with his punk band, playing shows and spreading good vibes (and funny tour stories) wherever he goes 🥳

Oh the good old days... Checkered Vans, skateboarding in parking lots (failing miserably and breaking every single bone in your body ofc), being stoked about the next summer festival's pop punk filled line-up... 🎶🛹 Thank you, Simple Plan for lending us your drummer Chuck Comeau for a little pre-show snack and chat sesh. We're not only looking back on the late 90's and early 00's,...

Remember what your parents used to tell you back in the day? "Don't get on a van with random people offering you candy!" 🍬🍬🍬 Well, Tom we hope your parents aren't disappointed, but to our defense, all we offered was homemade and questionably shaped Austrian funnel cake. Besides serious grub-talk (surprise!), this is what you can expect from this fun episode with Tom May (The M...

Flash those pearly whites for the camera! 😁 If you've been on a Flogging Molly cruise or any other Sixthman cruise before, you've for sure seen their outstanding video and photography footage, capturing the wild days on the boat. Maybe you have even found yourself on one of those recordings? Wanting to know more about the person behind the lens of Sixthman's camera, responsible for im...

We had a HARD TIME focussing on this one with DEVIN CLARK, but hey, it was day 4 of the cruise 😅 Getting some insight on how Sixthman employees hustle in the background to make every show run smoothly! Devin, taking care of the backline for all of the stages on the ship is also the drummer of metal band CANE HILL and shares some memories of touring the world with us🌎 (… and especially memories o...

After a *very* successful whiskey tasting, Flogging Molly's OG Dennis Casey took a seat on our "On the RoadCast" aka "On the BoatCast" couch and spilled the beans about his initial thoughts on the first SALTY DOG CRUISE , what to expect at Flogging Molly aftershow hangs and his secret fave snack 💇🏻‍♀️ Again we didn’t hold back with the special video effects on this one (l...

You know it takes two to tango. 💃🕺🏾 But it only takes one KENT JAMIESON to manage, tour manage and mix punkrock superstars NOFX! Looking back on literally decades of being out and about with these legends, Kent (a true legend himself) has for sure done and most likely seen it all. 😮 But not only NOFX can be found on this machine's resume, countless other bands have been relying on his qual...

Dreams do come true! 🤩💫 After (not so) secretly fangirling hard over THE BRONX foreeeeeever, we finally had the chance to invite their personal shred-master KEN to On the RoadCast! If you've ever witnessed The Bronx's high-energy performance on stage, you probably wouldn't believe that their touring party is actually super calm. Oh and thanks for getting us hooked on those Japanese C...

Ooooh oh oh it’s CASEY THE PUNK ROCK MAGICIAN ✨in a slightly NSFW edition on the Flogging Molly Cruise!! 🛳️🤫 Well, to be completely honest, if this episode was a Cinemax flick, it’d be NC-17 (or rated X for our more mature listeners). Together with our buddy Casey, a touring magician that absolutely blows minds with his magic tricks. We elaborated the more magical and also spicier things in life...

They are bandmates. They are workmates. And they are... SHIPMATES! Meet 3/4 of THE ATTACK and Flogging Molly Cruise veterans Brad, Charlie and Mikey, who squeezed in our cozy podcast nook to talk about working, drinking, playing shows together and why you might be questioning your life choices when you're in a band. But besides making sure to keep punk rock alive, these guys also run their own...

Somebody bring the liquid IV, please! What's the price of fun nights with heavy drinking on the Salty Dog Cruise? Having to cure the mother of hangovers the following day... Kudos to ALL HAILs Mike and Spencer (yes - he's also in Flogging Molly) for making it out of bed (or the hot tub) and spilling some vodk... uhm tea and walking down memory lane together. All aboard for a slightly pensi...

We got him hooked on JUMPY'S! Lewis MacRae, vocalist of UK-based metalcore four-piece RITUALS joined us in the podcast van for a hilarious episode which is all about the snacks!!! Right after touching down in Austria for their short tour alongside UP CLOSE, the guys visited the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum (where Conni might or might not touched Arnie's d*ck..) and took a deep dive into Au...

Ahoy and welcome back, ye salty dogs! Coming in hot right after their blow-the-roof-off-this-joint set in the champagne lounge of the Norwegian Pearl, George and Johnny of PET NEEDS spill the tea (UK-pun intended) about why their band was told to GTFO Serbia, how to go to Disneyland for free and many more stories you don't want to miss out on! Are you ready for a shipload of fun? 🚢

We love this woman.  Funny, smart and the voice of an angel. It’s PÄM!!  She started out as a merchandise manager for TURBOBIER and now she is building her career as a singer and songwriter, while working a day job and using her social media platform to inspire women and encourage them to be who they are.  Nothing can stop her... not even almost freezing to death while trying to pee and falling in...

It’s a family affair! After playing the sail away party during daytime (apparently one of their favorite shows ever!) husband and wife Lorna and Dan from the band Skinny Lister joined us for our first Salty Dog Cruise episode!  These incredibly sweet people make touring work with their 3 year old daughter Bonnie, with help of a lot of their bandmates and other family members. ...kudos to the capta...

Spoiler alert: this episode features a really cute dog, so we highly recommend watching it :D It's all about STRESS! Running his own (stress-)studio, working as a tourmanager for SEILER & SPEER, mixing shows for bands like BOYSETSFIRE or touring as a guitarist with his own Punk Rock band ANTIMANIAX.. TOM ZWANZGER never takes a break! Check out this mildly stressful but super funny episode...

This guy is CRACKING us up. Pun intended. This year Mike and his band DeeCRACKS will celebrate 20 years of punk rock history with a big festival at Arena Vienna. (Nov 17th & 18th 2023) ...and it was quite the journey. Including eleven different bassists (Vicky already put in her application to be number twelve). From being banned from the United States of America for a lifetime to making it bi...

This episode is HOT!!  ..and not only because of the people in it!  While building his hot sauce empire „TOM’S HOT STUFF“, Tommy Hlatky also drums in various punk rock bands like DEADENDS and A GUY NAMED LOU. His stories about touring in Japan are hilarious! Have you ever heard about an OWL CAFÈ? (..and even better, a HIGHLAND COW CAFÈ?)    Listen and find out more! 

Is there a better place to record the first episode of season 2 than under the Italian sun in MILAN? And is there a better guest than DAVID BAQI, touring guitarist of Being as An Ocean and vocalist in Takers Leavers? Both times the answer is NO. We had such a great time chatting about moving tour memories and the importance of being a 'clutch' player in this industry. Oh and if you want to...

Love (and music) is in the air ♥️🎵 We're handing our guest mics over to power couple Aygyul and Pati for the final On the RoadCast Sister Festival special. From the power of music and manifesting things through it, the freedom of finally being your true self as an artist and person to the bright but also the exhausting sides of the music industry - this episode covers all these topics and man...
