Nite Bob returns to the show and tells us some incredible stories about everyone from The New York Dolls to Steely Dan to Aerosmith and much more... No dull moments on this one, just good Rock N Roll Stories! “Nite Bob was on the ground floor of live sound in the 70’s. He helped perfect it. When you would go to school the next morning after an Aerosmith concert with ringing in your ears you can thank Nite Bob for that. He let you know with his mixing that you saw and more importantly heard one of the greatest rock band’s ever. His face should be on the Mount Rushmore of live sound engineers.” - John Bionelli(Aerosmith) Music Clips The Charms "So Pretty"/"American Way" The Dogmatics "I Love Rock N Roll" Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo…

389. Peter Cortner - Dag Nasty, Applied Knowledge 1:44:58

1:44:58

In this episode, we're joined by Peter Cortner—renowned for his iconic role as the frontman of the legendary punk band Dag Nasty. Of course we hit on the "Wig Out At Denkos" and "Field Day" albums. We also talk about Cortner’s really cool new band, Applied Knowledge, who release their debut album in May. “Easily the equal of the Replacements at their best -- and as much a forebear of the Goo Goo Dolls ' eventual success as a Minneapolis quartet -- Field Day is just that for the group. Peter Cortner 's singing in a mere year's time has moved from the edgy, high-pitched rasp of Wig Out to include a ruminative, gently expressing tone, with more vocal control and a sweet edge than one will find in most of the band's peers. As for his lyrics, besides the analysis of personal interaction that defined earlier Dag Nasty material, Cortner addresses everything from being in a band and wanting to write "songs, powerful songs" to reflections on death, loss, and separation”. -All Music Music Applied Knowledge "Earthlink" Music Clips Applied Knowledge "Not Too Far" The Charms "So Pretty" The Dogmatics "I Love Rock N Roll" Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo…

On this episode, we are joined by David Wildman and Jim Foster from the band Tell. “If you’re a first-class songwriter, being shut down just might wind up turning you loose. David Wildman has written his share of gems over the years, often in bands that deserved way more attention than they got. His band TELL refines the moody yet pop-centric approach he’s had all along. …But the real news here is Wildman’s flair for storytelling: The songs here present characters who are a little offbeat, sometimes flawed but always recognizable, all making their way through a desperate era. It’s a lot like real life in these times, only catchier.” _ Brett Milano, Boston music writer Music Clips The Charms "So Pretty" The Dogmatics "I Love Rock N Roll" Tell "Sweet Proximity Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo…

On this episode we are joined by the Sioux Falls SD indie rock band Shurr Jr. In 2015, siblings Nick and Frankie began writing music and jamming together in their mother’s garage, drawing inspiration from Elliott Smith, the Avett Brothers, Title Fight, and Charmer. At the time, their sister Kelly Maxwell was teaching herself to play guitar, often listening and vibing along to their creations. The trio’s musical journey took on a deeper, more personal meaning after the loss of their father, Frank—an influential member of the Omaha, NE band Fifth of May. In honor of Frank’s legacy, the siblings turned to music as a way to channel their grief and keep his spirit alive. The band’s name, “Sure, Junior,” is a loving tribute to Frank’s iconic catchphrase.

In this episode, we’re joined by Christian Dryden of the New York-based band, The Ritualists. Emerging from the underground glam scene in NYC’s East Village, The Ritualists have become a key player in the Lower East Side music scene, a community that deeply influenced Dryden’s musical vision. Immersed in a world that draws inspiration from icons like The Velvet Underground and New York Dolls, as well as British glam rock, Dryden’s sound blends these influences with his own contemporary twist. Reflecting on his musical journey, Dryden shares, "Being inspired by larger-than-life figures like David Bowie, Simon Le Bon, Bryan Ferry, and Marc Bolan was both a gift and a challenge. While it was transformative to imagine these legends as musical soulmates, it also brought a sense of loneliness, as I felt like I was the only one with that vision... until I discovered the venues and clubs of the Lower East Side."
