Episode #231 - Beirut

Let the natural light of Dan Mangan wash over you as he is back on Bothering the Band to discuss sequels, sex, sandwiches, saunas, and his sensational new album, Natural Light. 

We beefed around and built a blanket fort with actor/comedian/author/improviser Bobby Moynihan, who talked about his very first CD, a Drunk Uncle movie, and more!

Light the fireworks for this salute-worthy episode with the hilarious actor/comedian/podcaster Jon Gabrus! From inertia to nostalgia, music to comedy, this episode is a power-hour filled with nuggets of gold.

This episode with Jonathan Russell of The Head and The Heart (whose music has impacted our lives for so long) is so damn good we should be in jail! Listen to bucket list dreams happening in real time. 

This week on Bothering the Band, we’re joined by comedian, actor, writer, bird guy, Adam Cayton-Holland! It’s part comedy deep dive, part birdwatching fever dream, part defending Dave Matthews Band, and all very, very dumb (in the best way). Plus, he drops some major movie news at the end!

It is totally Travis Shettel day on BTB! You may know him as the frontman of the band Piebald, but we now know him as our new best friend! And there is huge news for Piebald fans in this episode!

Hell yeah! We got to bother and befriend Missy of the killer band Mannequin Pussy, and man o man, she's got stories for days so listen the F up!

On this very special episode (recorded on Take Your Kid to Work Day) the show is taken over by Lennon, the daughter of host Ryan Buynak. You may recognize her iconic intro music, but today she’s in charge, and she’s bothering a very special guest: Utkarsh Ambudkar (actor, musician, renaissance man, and star of her favorite show, Ghosts)!

Bothering the Band is back with Luke & Mitch of Born Ruffians, whose new album BEAUTY'S PRIDE drops June 6 on Yep Roc Records! 

In this very special and very funny bucket list episode, we sit down with the elusive, brilliant, and downright hilarious Zach Condon of Beirut, who opens up about comedy, skateboarding, doo-whop, porridge, and more!
