In 2001 VH1 debuted the show Bands on the Run.  It was a massive hit, yet it only lasted one season...  We felt like it needed much more attention. In the wake of Flickerstick's reunion (long after Soulcracker, Harlow, and Josh Dodes threw in their towels), we have decided to break down this insanely dated time-capsule of what-the-f*ckedness and talk with other touring musicians, friends, and music journalists about what they got wrong and what they got right. For this episode Ian, Nat, and Ross are forced to close this chapter of their lives with a fond(ling?) look back with BOTR expert: Jon Wurster (the Mountain Goats, Bob Mould, The Best Show, and more). You can watch every episode of the show for free on youtube HERE.  Catch up and catch the magic.
