This episode our guest is Klaus Eichstadt, lead guitarist and co-founder of Ugly Kid Joe. Ugly Kid Joe rocketed into the spotlight with a back-to-back hits in the early 90s and rode the wave until breaking up in 1997 under friendly circumstances. In 2010 the band reunited and has been going strong since, touring Europe and the UK regularly. In May/June 2023 UKJ will be touring the United States for the first time since 1995. I had a great time talking with Klaus, catching up and getting him to share some of his story here in this conversation for you. I hope you enjoy!

Ep 251 Jarrod Goon (Clowns)
Our guest this episode is Jarrod Goon, one half of the guitar firepower duo for the Australian punk rock band, Clowns. We met Jarrod and his bandmate Cam Rust in the summer of 2022 on tour and playing together at Hellfest in Clisson, France. We reminisce here at length. But, Clowns will be playing shows across mostly German-speaking countries in the summer of 2023 and you should go check them out if you're near and able. What a fun, killer band. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon finding them that day and connected. I hope you enjoy this podcast!

Ep 253 Jason Freeman (Zeke)
Our guest this episode is Jason Freeman, bassist for the band Zeke. Jason has been around Seattle through the thick and thin of it and has made his way through many punk bands in town but Zeke is the king of them. In this conversation we talk about his rural upbringing and Eastern Washington youth all the way up to Zeke's new single, Ride Hard Ride Free. Zeke will be playing Punk Rock Bowling this year with a few SoCal shows tagged on the end of a long weekend run. They'll spend the better part of the summer of 2023 touring the UK and Europe and should have a new album out soon. Catch them if you can!
