We’re In A Band!

We've been gone for a year. It's not your fault; you're great fans, you just weren't fulfilling our (admittedly) insatiable needs. Just kidding. Or am I?!?!? Given our new hectic rehearsal and gig schedule, I can't promise we'll be here every week for you, but we'll send you feet pics if you ask; something to keep you warm and horny when you can't hear our voices. But we finally got a chance to re...

J's massive debt; big bank profits, tales of recycling, and Rent (now with 30% fewer AIDS)! In this episode, Nick visits Nashville and tells us all about his visit to an all-drums music store and the music scene. Thank you all so much for your support over the last year and change we've been doing this stupid show. We just hit 1000 downloads and we couldn't be more excited to hopefully end this no...

See if you can count how many times we mention Taco Bell! Learn about Henry Hudson's travels. What does Sean Hannity have to do with anything? Well, listen up and find out! Crack open a nice cold IPA and join us as we discuss the state of classic rock bands, mutiny on the Hudson, Taco Bell, Alanis Morissett, the Ship of Theseus, and of course, even more Taco Bell. Did I mention we talk about Taco...

Selling out. What bands or artists do you know of that have "sold out"? What does that phrase even mean any more in an age where everyone of every age has a "brand" spread across social media, where everyone shamelessly monetizes every aspect of their personality or tries to make money from every hobby they undertake? Everyone's trying to make a buck these days, yet there are still holdouts who be...

Hey guys; first of all, PLEASE send us your comments, questions, or hate mail - we don't care; we just wanna hear from you! Ask us questions - anything you want to know about us, music, the local music scene, Jase's browser history, whatever - and we'll talk about it and give you a shout out! Email us at wereinaband@gmail.com or any of our social links below! Thanks for checking out this latest ep...

Public Pool Skin Infection. Goblin Cock. Three-Inch Infection (I'm sensing a theme...). The Taco Bell Three. Run For Cover. What's in a band name, anyway? What makes a good one? This week, once we get past all of Jase's insecurities, rob Mike of his innocence, and toy with Nick's fragile emotions, we eventually get down to the business of band names. Back in the day, you could name your band anyth...

Why is it so hard to find a band? When we were kids (before social media was the center of everyone's life, if you want to know how old we are), you'd find bands organically; your neighbor, friend, classmate, etc. Back in the day, Craigslist used to be safe for kids (now it's just for weird hookups - hit me up in the m4mmmtw forum, by the way, if you're into crucifixion fetishes). But these days,...

This week, the guys tackle a topic that's important in just about every industry - A.I. We explore some AI-generated music with Udio, a service that lets you type prompts in and it'll create a fully-produced, radio-ready song with singing and full-band arrangement. It's remarkable how far AI has come and terrifying how far it can (and probably will go). We explore a number of genres and styles - s...

We promised not to name any more episodes after U2, and we held up our end of the deal. It was VERY difficult to resist, especially after such brilliant quips like "U2-icide." The crazy thing is, none of us really listen to U2, but as performers, it's impossible to deny their influence - and then with their recent residency at the round ball thing in Vegas, they're back in the spotlight. Before th...

Mike gets a new guitar. Jase falls alseep to the sound of sweet, sweet hellscapes. Nick saves electricity. Our main topic this week is revisiting our favorite bands' first albums; Jase with Hanson, Mike with Green Day, and Nick with Rush. Learn about the bands and listen with us as we discuss these first albums in-depth and how they relate to the bands' modern relases. Thanks to everyone who eithe...

Jase argues with AI (and loses). Nick discusses economics. Mike reads obituaries! All around, a good podcast, compelling for all audiences! Nick tells us a dream (yawn) for like 10 minutes. As boring as it is, on the plus side, Jase is kind of a badass in Nick’s dreams (though, he chokes when it really matters). J bathes in hollandaise sauce amidst the band arguing the merits of clarified butter (...

He initially changed it to The Middle, but lawsuits from Jimmy Eat World soon followed. --- Folks, we got a fun one for you this week! Mike plays guitar during the whole episode, demonstrating some super radical tones from his guitar effects processor. Our primary topic, which we don't even SLIGHTLY stick to, like, at all, is how we, as a cover band, try to play the right notes, but often fail; bu...

...And then Mike showed up and was an amazing and natural bassist! ... But now he's on guitar... And Jase is on bass? What? What even IS this band? ... As we approach our 6th anniversary of being together as a band, we discuss how incredible our last show was (shout out to Gleason's in Peekskill) - how awesome the audience was, how toasted Jase was, etc. We even met up with another band who was pl...

Thanks for joining us for this 25th and last and truly final episode of ... whatever this piece of crap is called! This is Mike's final episode as a single man - henceforth, he will pay taxes jointly; he will no longer masturbate solo (or he'll wait until she's asleep and express his true fetishes). He's eating for two, now, if you catch our drift. Mike's getting married! Of course, he'll be consi...

Supposedly, it was just a phase...But let's be honest; it wasn't nearly the most shocking thing Mike or Nick has learned about me and it won't be the last (does that sort of phrase work here?). Thankfully, his stepmom doesn't listen to this podcast. Anyway... Happy birthday Mikey!! He turns asl68&^*&5jh years old on this episode! Old enough to be of consenting age to be forgetting you in a...

FeetFinder.com - now with over $5M in feet pics sold annually!* Jase gets a new Ferarri. Mike accidentally gets conned into buying way too much Panera Bread liquids. Crash Bandicoot is the Jimmy Buffett of video games. Who's has transparent skin and be slammin' younger gash? Shout out to FeetFinder.com for their clever logo. This week, we talk about creating original music; a taboo subject for a c...

(Inside joke for the time J got extra sausage.) Mike's Panera Bread woes. Jase gets two flat tires in one day. Yes, synth stores do exist! The gang gets high on Spotify wrap-ups! What did we listen to? How has being in a band affected our Spotify algorithms? Jason can't count Tool music's time signatures... So, guys; it's the new year. Literally NOTHING has changed. What the fuck? Shouldn't everyt...

How much is it okay to drink during a gig? What's the ideal level of drunk for creativity? Nickolai finds "a Reddit" with an article that ... articulates the answer! Great! Now we don't have to think. Nick has caused Mike and J to abandon all hope for a drummer that can play in time. Mike's route cause analysis of why Jase lived in Sioux Falls. The meditative war sounds perfectly demonstrate J's s...

Gold's Gym - The perfect place to be bicurious AND find a contract killer! What makes someone a superfan of a band? Can you name every album, EP? IN ORDER?!? Does it mean you have a tattoo? Or does it mean you stick by them through thick and thin? Should you force yourself to like an album by listening to it so many times you can't NOT like it? What would your favorite band have to do - legally or...

The gang solves the middle east crisis. What conspiracy theory is most likely to be true? What is deja vu? Are we living in a simulation? What's the best Matrix movie? Learn how to use a good Shrek wig to look great and promote inclusion! Nick makes fun of J's tattoos, Mike talks shit about white women. Finally, at some point, we get into the real sausagy meat of this week's pod, the ten commandme...

Settle in for Nick's riveting subway story (the crackhead-filled mass transportation under NYC, not the sandwich shop that hires yester-fat pedos) featuring his inability to spell fentanyl. Jase bought Hanson shirts. We discuss cover band competition and cover bands with separate singers (okay, sure; they might play a tambourine here and there). Mike works at the power company and Jase saw his dad...

Join us this week for another special post-gig podcast recorded at Denny's. We're exhausted, spent, drained, empty, and just about any other term that might apply to both a post-coital ballsack and a band that has just played their hearts out for the last 4 hours. Nick wasn't able to join us this time (he had to go throw up so he could fit into his wedding dress), but we took the opportunity to ta...

Pro tip: skip the first five minutes!!! Relentless spiders, Hudson Valley geography, Nick's newest eating disorder, Caribbean doctors doing BBLs - this week, we've got it all! What music do you listen to when you're depressed or ... ate too much ice cream? Great news! YouTube probably has a channel just for you! What does it mean to be a professional musician? When did we accept that we are nothin...

Bruh... This week, we thought we'd try something new. We decided to record 17,000 measures @ 669 BPM discussing why middle-aged woman diarrhea is worse (for some reason). From dick pics superimposed over spreadsheets, measuring dicks by weight, to poo on a plane... This fifth and final episode went off the rails almost immediately and never returned. Instead of discussing music, we spend an hour a...

Jase makes the Denny's waitress uncomfortable (again). Still no lawsuit or authorities involved, so, win? Rock down to (Mike's) electric car review. Nick's old Hungarian navigator shame's him into going the speed limit. What exactly is the 90's look? We lay out all of our political views at once! R.I.P., Jimmy Buffett - Nick (and ONLY Nick) will miss you and can name more than one song of yours. W...
