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!

Samantha Crain is a Choctaw songwriter, musician, producer, and singer from Shawnee, Oklahoma. Her outstanding music hit our radar when one of her songs was featured in an episode of the new FX/Hulu comedy/drama series Reservation Dogs. Bless her heart, Samantha talked with us about poetry, her favorite kind of tape, and fixing old radios, amongst otherthings.

Episode #38 - Ben Rogers

Bothering the Band ·

2021/10/27

We constructed a well-built episode of Bothering the Band with Ben Rogers who has been going places and turning heads with compelling songs and captivating performances for a while. We love his style of music and love his role on the Amazon show, Loudermilk. Listen as we bother him about coffee snobbery, building stuff, the pronunciation of Syrup, lies, and There Will Be Blood.

Bothering the Band ·

2021/10/20

This is a very coincidental episode of Bothering the Band with Anna Lies and Ryan Kenter of The Vaughns, an indie pop rock band from New Jersey. We happened to catch them on the day a vomit streak ended, and talked about "classic" films, Taylor ham pork rolls, Von Dutch hats, and the time they played an actual gig in the Newark Airport. Get in on the fun like a dancing giant sexy sloth!

2021/10/13

Some fine action on the pod with Tyson McShane and Chris Morin of the awesome band Slow Down Molasses, whose new album Minor Deaths just came out and is damn good. We traverse shifting sonic territories with the fellas and talk about skateboarding, peeing in the shower, the taste of post-punk sunshine, and grammar (their band name does not have a comma in it any longer!).

Episode #34 - Kerry Alexander

Bothering the Band ·

2021/10/06

Kerry Alexander, front-woman for Minneapolis-based indie rock Bad Bad Hats, has a special power of transporting listeners to certain places and times. She does this with music, but she also does this in her episode of Bothering the Band. With an overall lightheartedness and the cadence of a standup comedian, she answers our silly questions about blankets, bad habits, kissing God, keeping butter in the fridge or leaving it out, and people who pronounce Target as Targé.Bad Bad Hats recently released

Episode #33 - 4 Minutes Later

Bothering the Band ·

2021/09/29

We had so much fun bothering Junyor and Moon, the aliens of the band 4 Minutes Later. They dislike third person bios, but they liked us, and their new song "Holding on to Nothing" is a banger! We asked them about the best way to hide a boner, the color of mirrors, and why the hell they put dead birds in the fridge. 4 Minutes Later and their alien-pop music is about to take Earth by storm, and some of you will be able to tell everyone you heard about them on Bothering the Band.

Episode #32 - Danielle Durack

2021/09/22

We are positively charged for this episode of Bothering the Band with Danielle Durack, a phenomenal Phoenix-based songwriter, whose most recent album, No Place, drew the attention of Pitchfork, NPR, and us, of course. If you care about indie rock's next generation, Danielle Durack is rapidly solidifying herself as a must-know name, and we got to ask her some super silly questions, like can she name all seven dwarfs, and why isn’t the Phoenix WNBA team called the Phoenix Daughters? Find out her

Episode #31 - May Rio BONUS EPISODE

Bothering the Band ·

2021/09/18

It is May Rio's personality and deftness that shine and make this buttery BONUS EPISODE the unexpected journey that it is. On her debut solo album, Easy Bammer, which came out on June 25th, May Rio was inspired in part by time spent touring with Poppies, as well as the year the world went into lockdown. From couch surfing to preferredlaundry detergent, we dive deep, even shitting on white bro dudes that wear sombreros on Cinco De Mayo. Although she didn't know who Bridget Fonda was, this was a very

Brace Yourself for a badass episode of Bothering the Band with FELICITY, a Hard Rock/Pop Punk Band From Orlando, Florida, whose debut album 'Dear Universe' came out over the summer and continues to gobble up a gajillion streams on Spotify. Listen to their music and then listen to us bother them about falling down, bouncing back and forth between more metal-sounding songs and more pop punk songs, and doing drugs at Disney. This was a fun one that hits close to home, because we are also from Orlando,

At Summer's end, we have a very fun and poetic episode for you. MNYS is a LA based writer/producer who started making music when he was very very young. Fast forward to today, he has his first Gold Record as a songwriter/producer, and has worked with Timeflies, Lil Dicky and Allen Ritter (Drake, Travis Scott, Kanye West, Rihanna).

2021/09/01

We are so happy to be bothering Tré Burt today on the podcast, whose sophomore album You, Yeah, You came out on August 27th. His folky Americana music is right up our alley,and we have big fans of his music for a while. Burt has been, and always will be, a working class musician with a poet’s sensibility. We asked him sillyquestions about books, John Prine, sleeping in Sacramento, whether a hot dog is a sandwich, and whether or not he would kill baby Hitler given the chance. This episode is brought

Episode #27 - Nick Ghanbarian

Bothering the Band ·

2021/08/25

Nick Ghanbarian, the bassist for the melodic/moody (with a dash of guitar driven emo) punk band Bayside, has become one of our favorite people. Not only have we been fans of his band forever, but he was nice enough to answer our silly questions. From peeing sitting down to taking a bath in hot Mountain Dew, The Phantom Menace to scoring a hockey goal using a bass guitar as the stick, it was great to get to know him. When he is not on tour with Bayside, Nick roasts delicious coffee with Legal Speed

Episode #26 - G. Love

Bothering the Band ·

2021/08/18

We have been big fans of G Love and his special brand of music for most of our lives, so it is a bucket list honor to have the opportunity to bother him. The Grammy nominated multi-hyphenatehip-hop blues singer and guitarist (also children's book author) was so damn nice and inviting, blowing away our expectations. We asked him dumb questions about Philly sports, Jack Johnson farts, and his family's Christmas caroling tradition, while he cracked a cold beverage and introduced us to his chickens and

Episode #25 - Summer Alone BONUS EPISODE

Bothering the Band ·

2021/08/14

In this very special BONUS EPISODE, we got to bother Summer Alone, who makes dreamcore trap music aka “music to cry and rob to”. From chatting about Mexican food in England to how he lost his virginity, we quickly went from strangers to friends...and even made plans to ride dolphins together. The London experimental hip hop artist that mixes many genres is driven, dedicated and hungry, while his music is hypnotic, and his laugh is infectious. Listen and tell your mates, because Summer Alone is going

Episode #24 - Abstract

Bothering the Band ·

2021/08/11

For our very first in-person interview, we got to bother Abstract, a hip-hop savant whose lyrics are sharp and thought-provoking, creating universes one rhyme at a time. Born in New Jersey and raised in Wyoming, we sat down with Abstract (who is friends with our producer) in a fancy hotel conference room in Jackson Hole, and asked him wild shit about his unicycling super powers, shitty jobs, scars, metaphysics and Kanye. Bothering Abstract was rare and unique, like the man himself, so you're not

Episode #23 - Lizzie Edwards

Bothering the Band ·

2021/08/04

It was pretty impossible for Lizzie Edwards to avoid a career in music. Her grandfather was an opera singer, her grandmother was a classical harpsichordist, and her father was a sideman for various artists including Chuck Berry.Since their (accidental) inception in the early 2010s, Lizzie and the Makers have worked diligently to bridge the gap between what a band within the New York City music scene is supposed to be and what a band within the New York City music scene could be. Their sound is dark

Getting to interview Keanan Duffty was such a blessing; the dude has lived an incredible life. From dressing the Sex Pistols to rocking out with Bowie, his stories are endlessly amazing, and his answers to our silly questions are insightful, funny, and inspiring. Keanan co-founded the band Slinky Vagabond with Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Clem Burke (Blondie), and Earl Slick (David Bowie/John Lennon), making their debut in May 2007.He is also an award-winning fashion designer, author,and currently

Episode #21 - Tres Leches

Bothering the Band ·

2021/07/21

We had a really nice time bothering Alaia and Ulises of Tres Leches, a band that dutifully resists easy formula. Their music is raucously good fun, with the band switching out instruments as often as the style of their songs, so you can only imagine how much fun it was to interview them. From pet hawks to remedies for Spanish hiccups, find out if they would let their moms cut their hair on this "art punk" episode of Bothering the Band with Tres Leches.
