Surf Dudes with Attitude

A podcast TEN YEARS in the making..."Surf Dudes with Attitude" is the #1 podcast about the 90"s teen sitcom "California Dreams". Okay, so, we are also the only podcast of its kind but let"s not quibble! The show centered around a high school band as they navigate life, friendship and songwriting. Their choices are questionable, their fashion is exquisite, and their music is... well... we will let you be the judges of that. It"s dated, sometimes cringey but also surprisingly wholesome?Peat Rains and

Not to spoil anything but a lot of the cast of California Dreams didn’t actually sing or play instruments live on the show. I know… BUMMER. But we managed to track down some of the people responsible for those iconic pretending-to-be-teenager voices! We sat down with Zach Throne, multi-talented and faceted artist with a long rap sheet of credits. He dubbed in the singing voice of Mark on California Dreams as well as providing a lot of the studio guitar and bass in seasons 3-5. Yet, he has never met

The only fly in the ointment there is that she sounds like a beached walrus with a toothache (sick burn, Tiffany). Can the Dreams navigate this very relatable scenario while also defending their championship wrestling belt from freakshow challengers Total Defiance?

The gang find themselves on yet another radio program (yes, AGAIN). But conveniently, this time, it has nothing to do with them actually being in a band. The failing school AM/FM radio is dying like a rusting tower in the wind and is given to Sly to revitalize. He gives shows to all his nepo-baby friends to hilarious

Heya, you uncultured Onionheads! We’ve missed you! We are finally back from our seasonal break. We are diving straight into Season 3 as we meet a cast of new characters and strategically omit any mention of the ones no longer with us. Matt is GONE, the garage is GONE and so is the band’s equipment. Rest assured that Sly probably sold it on the black market or something. We’re in a new loft and are introduced to Lorena and Mark.

Actually, this episode was supposed to be aired second in this season but for some unknown reason, it was shown as the second to last episode instead! It feels a bit like time travel.

Once in a blue moon, we take our Cessna plane to far off lands to dissect other media that’s band-centric. This week on Side Project, James and Peat get bulked up on the Paleo diet while talking DINOSAURS! What started as a silly idea to watch prehistoric abominations of religion play in a band quickly morphed into some sharp social commentary about racial prejudice, predatory record labels and sexual harassment in the workplace. What??!! It’s true! Perhaps we were too young to appreciate the dark
