We’re In A Band!

Shout out to meat! Following our gig at Newburgh Brewing Co. on August August 25th, we convened at Denny's in the middle of the night to replenish thousands of calories and discuss meat, Jerry Seinfeld, restaurants with fake soap money, how to pronounce "Porche" and other such impossibly important topics. Come hang out with us for an hour or so and enjoy the sound of us eating while we entertain o...

Thank god our wives, girlfriends, and fiancees never listen to this podcast. They'd dump us if they weren't legally bound to us, soon to be legally bound, or financially dependent. But they're too busy doing taxidermy, tarot, or whatever the drummer's wife does (something to do with the mafia, probably?). Today we discuss what it's like being in a band and in a relationship at the same. Pokemon ev...

If you were in a band with twice as many songs in your repertoire than you can fit into the three sets comprising a typical gig, how would you choose what songs to place where? What song do you start the first set with to pique the sober audience's interest? What song do you end the night with make sure you leave a lasting impression to the party animals who stuck it out to the end? In this specia...

What does a humidifier and dehumidifier fighting have to do with a human centipede? Well, I hate to break it to you, but you never find out in this episode as that's just nonsense and Google is free, so use it! This week, the boys discuss bowling pins in their pee holes, Jase being away for Air Force training, the final messages from some past potential band members, and Mike's ...adequate... perf...

Dollar General, Waffle House, and Airpods; oh my! Nick has a surprise for the band! In this final reunion episode of "We're In A Band!," we discuss our dream gear - gear we would buy if we had a million dollars, gear we can reasonably expect to buy before we die (thanks to the revenue you lovely listeners generate for us!) and gear that we plan to buy next with our meager working man's salaries. F...

Do you sit or stand when you pee? How about when you go to concerts? No, I mean, not whether you sit or stand when you pee at concerts, but... Ugh. Never mind. Anyway, in this 11th and absolute finalfinalFINALlast episode of our podcast, Jase talks about lessons learned from the last concert he went to (Dream Theater with Devin Townsend and Animals as Leaders). Live music is a three-dimensional wa...

Newburgh Brewing Co., July 1st, 2023 Sad lemons, social media engagement, syrup, solar crops failing, and sisters (of the Twisted type); We meet up after a great gig at the local Denny's and discuss the gig and whatever else comes to mind. Songs we fucked up on, things we did well - it's always important to revisit the performance and figure out what we could have done better, but if all else fail...

oUr FiNaL ePiSoDe, We PrOmIsE!!! Mike's back from vacationing in Italy (or, as he calls it, the "Adirondacks"), and Jase is about to head out on vacation to the Adirondacks (or, as he calls it, the Finger Lakes), but somehow, they find an hour to get together and drink beer and shoot the shit about... god knows what. What do you miss most about the 1990's? Mike misses being 6 and the Mets (apparen...

In this 9th and final episode, we cover one of the most important topics a band can discuss: Hanson's re-re-re-release of their 1997 hit with "MMMbop 2.0". We also dig into the things that keep a band together, from splitting the pay equally and checking our egos at the door, to more difficult aspects like each person being a leader in a particular way and how we work to make each other better. "O...

In this 8th and final episode, Mike has a surprise for the band (it’s probably not a keytar, like Jase’s surprise, but it MIGHT be)! Nick regales us with the legend of J. 4-Loco! Mike starts to feel old when he’s out-hipster’d by younger hipsters at a Bluegrass concert. Jase, once again, can’t get through a single story without mentioning his desire to fellate at least one Hanson. We each share so...

No Ragrets! Today the boys discuss missed opportunities, the instruments that got away, and concerts that Nick was too cheap to buy tickets to and now harbors deep regrets for having missed. We all have regrets. Sure. But what if those regrets turned you into an old, fat, stuttering, rambling bald man who sits when he pees and who thinks listening to Fox News is an adequate substitute for a person...

Politics, amirite? Join us while we explore a wide variety of topics; all sure to keep our FBI guys on alert and sure to ruin any chance of running for office in the future. Nick continues to be an old man, Jase continues to have a suspiciously overt crush on Hanson, and Mike continues to put together a spreadsheet of replacement band members in case we let him down one more time. Just ONE more ti...

My fingies hurt! In this final* reunion episode, the boys discuss how Venn diagrams are evil. They shed light on the process of building a setlist; how they manage the songs' energy levels from the first song of the night (when people are sober, bored, skeptical, and critical) to the last song, where they can pretty much play the Lamb-chop song over and over and have the audience eating out of the...

In this episode, the boys finally determine if Metallica’s St. Anger is the best album of all time across the multiverse or just basically the best music that the human race can deliver in this current timeline. Hint: Yes. Who touched their first boob listening to Dave Matthews Band? Third Eye Blind? Who touched their first boob listening to whatever band Mike said? You’ll have to listen to find o...

In this episode, we tackle important topics like, “How much hair is too much hair… on your feet?” and, “Nick’s victorious emergence from his mad beef with a middle-school band nerd dude” [sic], and we discuss our first bands. We play a drinking game where we take a shot every time Nick mentions Neal Peart (Hint: We nearly die. Don’t do this at home; we can’t afford the liability) and discover Rush...

High off the immeasurable success of our first podcast episode, we continue with that frantic momentum by discussing tuning our instruments to the universal frequency (A=432Hz, duh!), how Mother Gaia is actually a man, and how we grew into our various roles as a band. Jase does the whole podcast all boned up because he can't figure out how to turn off his hardpore corn. We discuss our first R4C gi...

On our first episode, we discuss Tom Petty, tuck jobs, Esteban as a legitimate musician, and possible juicy leaks to AOC, should one of us run for president. Is the drummer for Green Day better or Blink 182? We do, eventually - and sporadically - discuss being in a band. Hang out with us as we drink a couple good beers and make fun of each other!
