Episode

L. Ron Drunkard, bassist for Red Kate, joined me for Episode No. 131, and it was a hoot.
We talked about band life, making records, supporting local music, news, politics, the awesomeness of Bob Mould, the lameness of touring acts frequently skipping Kansas City, and a ton more.
We also talked a bit about a few of Mr. Drunkard's favorite albums. Those were these:
Devo's Are We Not Men (1978)
Give 'Em Enough Rope (1978), The Clash
AC/DC's Highway to Hell (1979)
Throb Throb (1984), Naked Raygun
Hüsker Dü's Candy Apple Gray (1986)
Wrong (1989), NoMeansNo
You can follow Red Kate on Instagram and/or Facebook, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and Spotify. For sure check out black-site.org for a look at the really cool record-label cooperative they've created. And you certainly wanna give Exit Strategy, their 2023 release, a listen.
I'm grateful for the time and energy L. Ron brought to the table. He knows how to make good conversations great ones.
Note: I mistakenly called Frank Zappa's narrator character on Joe's Garage, L. Ron Hoover, which I'm embarrassed to admit. He's obviously The Central Scrutinizer and makes reference to someone spending too much time at The First Church of Appliantology with L. Ron Hoover. Sheesh, Rook'.
