21. "We Back" (GDP 2023)

Chase and PR discuss the 80/35 lineup and location. 

Recorded last summer (obviously).   

In lieu of our normal lineup breakdown and preview, the boys share a toast to the final 80/35.

PR & Chase finally get to chat with two Des Moines icons... Ramona and Derek Muse Lambert! You know them from Ramona and the Sometimes, the Book of Bugs, and so many other projects it's hard to keep track. Rad![Disclaimer: Original interview recorded in 2022]

PR & Chase return to the pink room to discuss all the sights and sounds of GDP 2023... and explain why they've been off the grid for the past couple months. Remember this, Iowa music fan: You matter. Your mental health matters. We are always pulling for you and Pretty Fort will always come back – no matter how long we're away. Keep on spinning. Forever.

The Hinterland 2023 lineup is here! Bon Iver, Zach Bryan, and Maggie Rogers headline the St. Charles, IA music festival next summer and the boys are stoked! We break down the rest of the lineup (and confirm Chase's oracle-level music taste). Early!

Apologies for the delay – summer has been... a lot! But the Hinterland 2022 episode is finally here! PR and Chase are joined by long time festival companion and synthfluencer Jorb (@jorblovesgear) to recap their adventures at the y'allternative St. Charles music festival. The boys discuss all the acts, all the snacks, and all the hacks makin' trouble in the Turnstile pit. No backpacks in the pit! Rad!

It actually happened. 80/35 is back. Featuring on-site interviews with The Envy Corps, Stars Hollow, Lily DeTaeye, Music League, Plumero, Juliano Dock, Hot Kunch, and Mr. Softheart.PR & Chase are joined by their good buddy/photographer/synth extraordinaire, Jorb, as they recap the return of the greatest music festival in the known universe. We break down all the sights, sounds, vibes, and snackies. Rad! Thanks so much to all the artists, organizers, and volunteers who made this year's festival possible. And thank YOU, listener, for being patient with Chase as he had a near mental breakdown editing this behemoth of an episode. It almost goes without saying... KEEP ON SPINNING.

Oh yeah, it's a crossover episode! Chase and PR discuss the recent GDP Music Festival. Go subscribe to the Pretty Fort Weekly feed for a brand new single/EP/album review every single week!

GDP is back and better than ever! The homegrown Iowa music festival is set to take place downtown Des Moines on April 23rd. PR & Chase run through the lineup, which is packed with favorites from the show like Wave Cage, Bouquet, Good Morning Midnight, and Penny Peach. Rad!
