Episode 6: 50. Urge Overkill

 Urge Overkill began in 1980s Chicago and carved their own path over the past several decades. In the ‘90s, they toured with bands who are household names, and reached that status on their own with their cover of Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” on the groundbreaking soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. On this episode, Urge Overkill founders Eddie “King” Roeser and Nash Kato join guest co-host Casey Bruce and me to talk about their new album “Oui,” loaning their suits to their tourmates Nirvana, the band’s long hiatus following their two albums on Geffen Records, Nash’s brief run as a solo artist, Jack Black’s hand in resurrecting the group, and their admiration for other artists like Cheap Trick, Selena, and Wham! Recorded at TCTV Studios in Olympia, this episode is also available in a video format, which you can find on lowprofilepodcast.com .
