    My First Band Podcast

    Each Friday, My First Band features a long-form interview with a different notable musician about all of the projects that preceded what you know them for. We discuss their musical origins, and we trace a few of their embarrassing high school bands and other associated bands that happened before they broke out. This show digs deeper than any Wikipedia page or band bio would ever dare to go. And, sometimes, the guests will even share some of their old songs. You can expect to hear a lot of interesting, informative and hopefully entertaining anecdotes about all of the bands along the way.

    My First Band is sponsored by Boulevard Brewing. It is hosted by Tyler Maas, of Milwaukee Record, and edited by Jared Blohm.

    Bonus Clip: Jon Phillip on Starting a Band With Dustin Diamond Mar 12, 2019
    Show notes

    Here's some bonus material to go along with Episode 1!

    My First Band host Tyler Maas unearthed a 2015 interview with Episode 1 guest Jon Phillip in which the drummer explains how he very nearly joined a band called Junky Muppets that was started by actor Dustin Diamond. Diamond, of course, is best-known for playing Samuel "Screech" Powers in the popular '90s television show Saved By The Bell, but apparently, he is also an accomplished five-string bassist. The former teen star has been embroiled in financial and legal troubles for several years, but who knows how things would have turned out if he would have teamed up with Phillip in '01...


    1 – Jon Phillip (Limbeck, The Benjamins, Tommy Stinson) Mar 08, 2019
    Show notes

    With an infectious personality and a flashy style behind the drums, Jon Phillip has laid down beats for nearly a dozen different bands since he first picked up the sticks in the early '90s.

    Phillip's first bands — Tralfez and Spank Child — were based in the rural town of Grafton, Wisconsin, where he grew up. He then joined the up-and-coming power-pop group the Benjamins, who would go on to sign with Drive-Thru Records and tour the country several times over.

    Following the Benjamins, Phillip briefly played in the Nice Outfit before forming the roots rock band the Obsoletes with Justin Perkins and Tim Schweiger, who previously played together in Yesterday's Kids.

    Phillip went on to drum for the alt-country band Limbeck, of Doghouse Records. And the prolific drummer has since played with a string of other nationally known acts, including Berwanger, the Wildbirds, Screeching Weasel, Paul Collins Beat, Trapper Schoepp and Tommy Stinson. Stinson, of course, is known for being a member of both the Replacements and Guns & Roses.

    Phillip is now fronting the punk group Mini Meltdowns, which features Scott Schoenbeck (Promise Ring, Dashboard Confessional and Rx Drugs) on bass. Phillip also runs Good Land Records, an independent record label, from his Nashville home.
