Episode 345: What Happens in Vegas Part 2: Dr. Disc

The PTID guys are joined by four of the five members of Cleveland's Whatever... They do a deep dive into the band's heyday in the '90s, and how they ended up getting back together and making new music. It's a fun listen with a band you may have missed the first time around. With songs from Whatever...

This one covers Punk Rock Bowling from the perspective of the PTID guys' pal Dr Disc. He fills in some of the gaps and even manages to stay out past 9 o'clock! Plus he and Neil both give a rundown of their favorite performances of the weekend. With songs from The Effigies,The Adicts, Youth Brigade, Teenage Bottlerocket and The Stitches. 

Tom heads to Logansport, Indiana for the big Bonus Pints/Record Farm/Punk Till I Die shindig with Sloppy Seconds, The Migraines and The Distractions. How many beers did he drink? How many dive bars did he hit? With music from The Distractions, The Migraines, Sloppy Seconds and D.R.I.

Strap yourselves in for a thorough retelling of Neil's trip to Las Vegas for Punk Rock Bowling. Who did he see? Who did he meet? Who was good? Who did he hate? Who did he miss because they played too late? With songs from Stalag 13, The Effigies, The Adicts, Cock Sparrer, The Briefs, and The Hellflowers. 

Violets are a newer Chicago band with a three guitar attack. They're made up of musicians from some local legends including Naked Raygun, Dan Vapid and the Cheats and Blood People. Four of the five members join the PTID guys for a fun chat that goes all over the place. From opening for Metallica to appearing on American Idol. With songs from Violets.

Tom and Neil jump in the wayback machine and have a nice long visit with Eddie from the Migraines. There's lots joyful reminiscing about the mid '90s punk scene. They're also brought up to date with the current state of the band as they prepare to play the massive upcoming shindig with Sloppy Seconds and the Distractions at Bonus Pints on May 30th. With songs from the Migraines. 

Tom goes to a couple of shows that Neil would have hated, and is very busy with a wedding and a graduation. Neil previews the bands he hopes to see as he prepares for Punk Rock Bowling. It's the type of freewheeling conversation you've come to expect from the PTID guys. With songs from The Dickies, Angry Samoans, Chupaskabra, Prole, Good Men Doing Nothing, and Doggy Style. 

The PTID guys have a great conversation with Troy from Wayward Brigade, a western Maryland band cranking out some classic punk sounds. In other words they quit bitching about a certain evil streaming platform and get back to doing what they do best - turning you on to cool bands you may have missed. With songs from Wayward Brigade.

Tom has a good time hanging with friends and seeing Bouncing Souls and H2O. Neil had a bunch of options, and chose to stay home instead. The PTID guys also discuss the Riot Fest lineup and the new inductees into the so-called Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With songs by Screeching Weasel, The Panik, H2O, Zero Boys, Digits, Agent Orange, and V2.

The PTID guys once again catch up with Sloppy Seconds' howler BA. They talk about the big May 30th shindig at Bonus Pints in Logansport Indiana, and the band's upcoming tours of Texas and Europe. They also dig into Sloppy's recent odds and ends collection along with the typical random nonsense. With songs from, of course, Sloppy Seconds.
