Episdoe #216 - Maddie Rice BONUS EPISODE

To kick off the NBA season, we have a very special basketball episode with our pal Matthew Consolazio, who makes it rain on his podcast Indie Basketball. Swish!

Creed Bratton's story has always been a music story, but a relentless drive for success and a stroke of luck led him down an entirely different path to Scranton, PA. Now, as he's just released his 10th studio album, Tao Pop, Bratton cements his place in music history as he blissfully lets us bother him about a bunch of dumb stuff. 

From the celebrated venue (Hotel Cafe) to guests Dolo Tonight (musician and internet sensation), Billy Wayne Davis (comedian), and Leighton Gray (writer, illustrator, podcaster, gamer), Joe Wong (Night Creatures) and Joe Plummer (Cold War Kids) to our pal Ellory Smith who helped jumpstart the fun, our live show in LA turned out fucking great! Thanks to everyone involved!

When she is not playing guitar on SNL, Maddie Rice is making hauntingly beautiful solo music, as well as boppable pop punk with YO!KOMODO, and on this badass bonus episode she is answering our silly questions which have nothing to do with any of her cool projects. 

Put on your cashmere jumper, rock up with a pair of Yeezies and settle into this cozy episode with Tracyanne Campbell of the Scottish indie pop band Camera Obscura.

Despite some tiny technical difficulties, this episode with Nik Ewing was a slam dunk. We talked about everything from basketball to fatherhood, Local Natives to his new solo album SONGS FOR LINNÉA. You're not gonna wanna miss this!

We got philosophical, comparing hammers in a flight path for this all too vaporwave episode with Kareem Rahma and Tyler McCauley of the band Tiny Gun.

True or False? Matthew Koma, the creative force behind Winnetka Bowling League, brings his sharp wit, musical genius, and stories from the road to Bothering the Band. False! We just talk about food poisoning, poetry, and he claps back at his pal, last week's guest  Christopher Mintz-Plasse. 

For this badass bonus episode, we got feral with our friend Adam Davis who is boppin east bay ska punk with his band Omnigone like nobody's business!

We got a little reckless and toilet papered a house with Nicholas Chamian, Ryan Dean, and Christopher Mintze-Plasse of the band Colorvison, whose music is really freaking good!
