Episode #205 - Eliza & The Delusionals

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!

We ate 100 pancakes and then got 311 tattoos with the oh so nice Jakob Nowell of Jakobs Castle and another band you may have heard of called Sublime.

Went on a wonderful hike with granola gentleman, Nick Thorburn, a musician, cartoonist, and actor, known for fronting numerous bands, such as The Unicorns, and Islands (whose recent album is so damn good), as well as composing the soundtrack for the podcast Serial.

We get caught in the kitchen with our new boss Joe Plummer, drummer for Cold War Kids, driving force of Ruinous Media and one helluva pickleball player!

We got weird with Rob Bryn of Wild Yaks, discussing everything from Aries animal facts to communes on Staten Island...and the result is a monumental deed!

A long time coming and from all the way across the globe, we are so stoked we finally got to bother indie Aussies Eliza & The Delusionals as they just dropped their banging sophomore album Make It Feel Like The Garden!

From the celebrated venue (Mercury Lounge) to the guests (country music superstar Dale Hollow, renowned rapper/writer Dessa, filmmaker/podcaster/pop-punker Chuck Staton, and  surprise guest/BFF Brian Wecht) to our friends (Eric Schmidt and Greg Burmeister) who helped jumpstart the fun, our live show in NYC turned out fucking great! Thanks to everyone involved!
