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!

2023/12/06

Kate Micucci is a freaking renaissance woman. An actress, a musician, an artist, a puppeteer, a new mom, and so much more. We have been fans of hers for like 20 years, and when we started BTB she was at the top of our bucket list, so this episode is truly special and unique...just like her!

Just like their most recent album, this episode with Fast Romantics will provide nothing but happiness and euphoria.

Bothering the Band ·

2023/11/22

We got to talk about cartoons, Montreal, Nina Simone and more with JUNO Award winning singer-songwriter Dominique Fils-Aimé who is creating the future of jazz.

This is the funniest episode of the podcast ever with the cast of Flula Makes Five, a new scripted sitcom podcast starring Flula Borg (who you should know from Suicide Squad, Pitch Perfect 2, and all sorts of hilarity with Conan O'Brien) and our musician friends Julie Edwards of the band Deap Vally, and Henri Cash of the band Starcrawler. #DiapLife #R2Dpoo #PukeSkywalker #BobaFart

Bothering the Band ·

2023/10/18

We love Billie Marten! Not only does her "ethereal grunge" music make all our pain subside, we also want to put a pasta podcast on the hob with her, and make lists of Simpsons episodes. Listen to this wonderful and (American accent) WILD episode and then listen to her marvelous new album Drop Cherries.

Episode #164 - Tess Parks

Bothering the Band ·

2023/10/11

Sometimes we hear a song and immediately declare that we need to get the artist on the podcast. That is exactly what happened with Tess Parks.

Episode #156 - Gnarcissists

Bothering the Band ·

2023/08/30

The punks of Gnarcissists are our kind of people. Their sound and sense of humor resonate with us the same way as early Ramones or Richard Hell. Prior to their performance at Bumblefest, these resonating punks from NYC met with us for a manic mini promo episode and it was so fun.
