This is Episode 100 with Sanae and Jimmy of the Tattoo Budcast. Frank Quarantad and I went to visit them at their studio, Dreamland, in Whittier, CA. We covered a lot of topics, from their viral clip about "Psychobilly Is Dead" that got them some heat, to the formation of their podcast, their time in the scene, Memory Lane and Venus events, and Jimmy's past tours. Of course, I can't go without talking horror, in this case the movie Obsession, and eventually, tattooing. We hit it off instantly with these two. I'm also a guest on their show, Episode 99, which is available now.

    Welcome back to Beer with Bear Podcast!   Episode 99 features the return of The Sick Sick Sinners, coming all the way from Brazil.   For this short episode, I caught up with the Sinners during soundcheck at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California, before what would turn into a badass night of live psychobilly.   It was great getting a chance to hang with the band again, talk music, and catch up before they hit the stage. If you're a fan of psychobilly, punk rock, rockabilly, and underground music, this is a quick behind-the-scenes look at The Sick Sick Sinners.   EPISODE 22 — THE SICK SICK SINNERS (2016) The band's first appearance on Beer with Bear Podcast.   EPISODE 92 — VLAD URBAN OF THE SICK SICK SINNERS & OS CATALEPTICOS (2026) A one-on-one conversation with Vlad.   BEER WITH BEAR PODCAST https://linktr.ee/beerwithbearpodcast   THE SICK SICK SINNERS https://linktr.ee/Sicksicksinners   THE SICK SICK SINNERS — INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/sick_sick_sinners/   EPISODE 92 — VLAD URBAN https://youtu.be/GMHC_NpKa9g   EPISODE 22 — THE SICK SICK SINNERS (2016) https://open.spotify.com/episode/52Oazu62Of6W9gLGvPUS2b    

Episode 98 with The Teaserz This week on the Beer with Bear Podcast, I'm hanging out with Los Angeles psychobilly band The Teaserz! Joining me are Max on guitar, Gordo on bass, and Alex on drums. You might remember Max from Episode 63 with his previous band, The Deranged, where he played upright bass. We talk about how The Teaserz came together, traveling and playing shows around the world, memorable experiences along the way, and of course, Gordo's love of trying just about anything when it comes to food!  The Teaserz have been making their way around the LA scene, so check out their music, give them a follow, and go see them live!

  Episode 95 features legendary SoCal artist Tom Laura, aka "Big Toe." Recorded at the Stowaway Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California, this episode dives into the worlds of surf, tiki, and punk rock art.   Over some cold drinks, Big Toe, George, and Bear talk about his signature paintings, sculptures, and world-famous tiki mugs found in bars across the country. We also get into his early days in surf culture, traveling for art shows, and upcoming exhibits — including Tiki Punk 2 on June 6, 2026 at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas.   Guest ig :https://www.instagram.com/bigtoeart?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==   Guest Website: [https://linktr.ee/bigtoeart?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=1a0cf406-3143-4af1-8fd0-0aefffb9bc52]   Beer With Bear Linktree: [https://linktr.ee/beerwithbearpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=6ff0e82d-8a4a-44c4-9fa8-0b3d6144cec6                      

Recorded last summer at The Bamboo Club in Long Beach, we sat down over tiki drinks just hours before Ryan hit the stage at Alex's Bar. We talk Ryan's origins, his love of garage music, and even the real-world cost of a shrunken head (yep… he knows a guy). We were also joined by Jessica, Ryan's girlfriend, manager, and nurse, who jumped into the conversation and added her own perspective throughout the episode. Follow Rockin' Ryan and The Hexxers, and keep an eye out for his upcoming Ep.

  In Episode 93, we sit down in person with Djordje Stijepovic, aka BullFiddleCat. Djordje is the upright bass player for Tiger Army, Molotov, Drake Bell, and countless others, along with his own solo project. Frank Quaranted, George, and I had an incredible conversation with Djordje about growing up in Serbia in the 1980s, starting a rockabilly band in fifth grade, and his journey to the United States, where he went on to play with the who's who of the rockabilly world. We also talk music, classic films, and even sample some Serbian liquor he brought along. Great vibes, great stories — both on and off the mic.
