Season 2 Trailer: More Spinal Tap Moments May 17, 2022

Show notes

Spinal Tap Moments happen to everyone -- moments that don't seem all that funny at the time, but are hilarious in retrospect. In Season 2 of Too Much Effing Perspective, co-hosts Allen Keller (musician + comedy writer) and Alex Hofmann (Radiohead's original US tour manager) are back with more stories from their favorite bands and entertainers who share the laughable, ludicrous predicaments they’ve lived through on stage, on the road, and in the studio. Inspired by the iconic music mockumentary film, This Is Spinal Tap. Get in touch: hello@tmepshow.com https://tmepshow.com @tmepshow
