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!

If you don't know who Fred Armisen is, you should be hit in the head with a tack hammer. He is literally in everything! But not only is he a diversely talented renaissance man of comedy and music, television and film, he is also a music geek at heart, just like us. We could not be happier with our plan (we are playing chess, folks) to get him as the guest for our 100th episode!
