Bands on the Ruin - Our Wurst Episode w/ Jon Wurster Jun 27, 2024

In 2001 VH1 debuted the show Bands on the Run. It was a massive hit, yet it only lasted one season... We felt like it needed much more attention.

In the wake of Flickerstick's reunion (long after Soulcracker, Harlow, and Josh Dodes threw in their towels), we have decided to break down this insanely dated time-capsule of what-the-f*ckedness and talk with other touring musicians, friends, and music journalists about what they got wrong and what they got right.

For this episode Ian, Nat, and Ross are forced to close this chapter of their lives with a fond(ling?) look back with BOTR expert: Jon Wurster (the Mountain Goats, Bob Mould, The Best Show, and more).

You can watch every episode of the show for free on youtube HERE. Catch up and catch the magic.

Jon will be hitting the road next month and you can/SHOULD buy tix HERE

Thousands of horror movies. Hundreds of franchises. But only ONE that has stayed consistent: "The Evil Dead". (ALMOST) Every week (or maybe months at this point), the team here will be examining an installment in the franchise with special musician guests.

This week Ross, (Ur)Ian, and Nat are joined by Chris Slorach of METZ and more to discuss one of the most quoatable and fun installments yet: "Army of Darkness"

Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! In this episode, we stay on topic the whole time... We don't talk about Puppet Master films, Robocop's affair with Oreo cookies, Seinfeld, or anything else... this is dead serious, and there are ZERO laughs during this chat. You got that??!!

Bands on the Ruin - Tampa pt 2 w/ Rayshele of Harlow!!! Nov 17, 2023

In 2001 VH1 debuted the show Bands on the Run. It was a massive hit, yet it only lasted one season... We felt like it needed much more attention.

In the wake of Flickerstick's reunion (long after Soulcracker, Harlow, and Josh Dodes threw in their towels), we have decided to break down this insanely dated time-capsule of what-the-f*ckedness and talk with other touring musicians, friends, and music journalists about what they got wrong and what they got right.

For this episode Ian, Nat, and Ross are joined once again by the lovely Rayshele of Harlow to celebrate their exit from the show in pt 2 of a 2-parter-party in Tampa.

You can watch every episode of the show for free on youtube HERE. Catch up and catch the magic.

If you want early access to these episodes (+ the extended version of this episode), head over to the Rigs of Dad Patreon Page where you can also hear more unedited, ad-free interviews with previous guests, patreon exclusives, and beyond!

Bands on the Ruin - Atlanta pt 2 Jul 11, 2023

In 2001 VH1 debuted the show Bands on the Run. It was a massive hit, yet it only lasted one season... We felt like it needed much more attention.

In the wake of Flickerstick's reunion (long after Soulcracker, Harlow, and Josh Dodes threw in their towels), we have decided to break down this insanely dated time-capsule of what-the-f*ckedness and talk with other touring musicians, friends, and music journalists about what they got wrong and what they got right.

For this episode Ian, Nat, and Ross STAY in Atlanta for more insanity as we approach the next elimination.

You can watch every episode of the show for free on youtube HERE. Catch up and catch the magic.

If you want early access to these episodes (+ the extended version of this episode), head over to the Rigs of Dad Patreon Page where you can also hear more unedited, ad-free interviews with previous guests, patreon exclusives, and beyond! PLUS early access to other episodes. AND billing has been paused for the month of July.

Ross put out an album under the name COGENTS. It's available wherever you listen to music and highly recommended for those looking to scratch their ambient itch.
