The Merch Booth

This week, we talk about a lot of events (too many) that happened over the past week.  First, we went to see blink-182 and Turnstile which was awesome but we save that for last because, let's face it, you're not here for the rest of it, right? BUT FIRST - Ryan and his wife went to see a recording of her favorite podcast; My Brother My Brother and Me (as well as The Adventure Zone, Schmanners, and...

This week, Thomas and Ryan see a metal(ish) show which, of course, was Ryan's pick.  We eat some Chinese, we buy vinyls, and we gush about the frontman of Dayseeker for a while.  Follow us everywhere! mastodon | instagram | twitter (until it explodes)  

This week, we discuss our trip to North Carolina. Unfortunately, the MLS match was a bust but we discuss the concert we went to on Friday night and the, frankly, amazing lineup of bands that were there.  We also discuss Ernie's... or was it Ralph's... oh, Earl's Whiskey Bar and BBQ as well as Wise Men brewery we attened. We also get into the crazy expensive hipster rummage sale we happened on whil...

Thomas and Ryan discuss their recent journey to the Grog Shop to see one of 4 bands that were playing that night and their general distaste for small shows having too many bands.  We're too old. Follow us everywhere! mastodon | instagram | twitter (until it explodes)  

This week, we have a fun one. Jeff & Laura came to town and we got to see Mikey Erg open for them which was all a wonderful treat. We also had drinks and food in lovely locations. Also, there's a theme of car trouble throughout this entire night - from Jeff & Laura's van breaking down and almost missing the show to our own car troubles on the way home. It's a fun one - enjoy! Follow us everywhere!...

This week we join forces yet again to talk about music, live events, our distaste for Elon Musk, and our plans for 2023. We also discuss our favorite music of 2022. Here's our list: ***** You should listen to the episode before fully reading these so do that and then come back to these notes. Don't worry, we only discuss our top 5. ***** Thomas' favorites of 2022: Alvvays - Blue Rev Soul Glo - Dia...

We sit down to discuss our recent-ish trip (it was actually like a month ago) to get beef kabobs and go to a show! Thomas wanted to see a ska show - specifically Catbite. Ryan wanted to see a ska show too but wanted to see Streetlight Manifesto. Turns out, they were touring together - it was fate!

This week, Thomas and Ryan drove to Indianapolis to see Suzie True, Chris Farren, and learn about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Oh, we also went to a tamale-less tamale restaurant (thanks Doug) +++ We interview Chris Farren after another one of his perfect sets. It's a good one - come hang out with us!

This week we discuss our trip to Cleveland to eat BBQ and see Sunny Day Real Estate bring back all of Ryan's 90's nostalgia. We also discuss annoying concert goers and how to deal with them, what was on offer as far as merch, and what our typical go-to merch purchases are at a show. Seattle 97!!

We sit down to discuss our top 5 favorite shows we have been to.  We also introduce the premise for the show. We aren't really planning out a schedule here but we plan to record and put out a show whenever we have gone to an event - which will happen sporadically.  So, follow along and we'll try to make it worth your while.  Twitter | Instagram
