PODCAST

Bothering the Band

We ask our favorite musicians super silly questions.

Get ready for some seriously goofy fun as the world’s funniest music podcast skips the usual questions and dives straight into the absurd, asking musicians things like, “What’s your favorite shape of pasta?” Expect raw, hilarious conversations, wild stories, and unbelievable anecdotes that will have you laughing out loud (and maybe cringing, too). But if you"re here for the usual, “What’s your inspiration?”—this isn"t the place. It’s all about the quirky and unexpected!

Bothering the Band ·

2023/01/18

Call it kismet, a respite from existential dread,whatever you choose, Dan Mangan was meant to be on our podcast, and it took a few tries, but we got him!

Episode #112 - Mortal Prophets

Bothering the Band ·

2022/12/17

Wading through swamp rock and fighting the devil make this BONUS EPISODE with NYC experimental rock outfit The Mortal Prophets (helmed by John Beckmann) a worthy opponent, but then we invited Irish producer/multi-instrumentalist William Declan Lucey along to make it unfairly fun and informative, as well as talk everything from primitive blues to the raucous punk.

Episode #110 - Dessa

Bothering the Band ·

2022/12/07

It's scientifically proven that Dessa is amazing. Not only is she a prolific performer, but she is also a writer, a poet, a podcast host, a scientist, as well as an intimidating force of nature by her own devices. This deeply human episode (sponsored by Sharpie) is a literal wish-come-true and we could not be more thrilled, humbled, honored to have asked her oursuper dumb questions.

They say good things come to those who wait. Well, we can't argue with that when it comes to our convo with David Champion, one blue-eyed brother half of the UK based band CHAMPS, who has dealt with our bothering long before we even got to really bother him. We are so glad we finally got to interview David, because we found out that he and our producer love old watches, and he and our host may have a connection via their dad's going to the same damn boarding school on the Isle of Wight. Small world,

Episode #103 - Adam Turla

Bothering the Band ·

2022/10/26

Our spellbound convo with Adam Turla, the lead singer and driving force behind the band Murder by Death,is a little glitchy since he's on a phone in a car, as he is literally driving to a show with his bride and bandmate. It ends as they pull up at the venue, which is kind of fun. A good example of what we are trying to do here—get to the heart and realness of our favorite musicians—the whole convo is fun, so listen.
