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!

Sometimes Spotify gives you the exact music you need...and that's exactly what happened with Keep for Cheap, the PrairieRock outfit from Minnesota.
