July 27, 2020 18:13 - 1 hour - 59 MBAs a cycling enthusiast, I was thrilled to learn that I had landed an interview with Lance Armstrong... When that ended up not being the case, I was relieved that this dude Matt Armstrong is not only a hilarious dude, but a truly innovative and gear savvy bassist. Fun conversation with not-Lance-Armstrong about everything from unconventional bass playing, gear, filling out the frequencies in a band, working the door at a strip club and more. One of the funniest lightning rounds thus f...

The Rigs of Dad Prodcast ep 8: Caspian
June 05, 2020 18:19 - 1 hour - 80.3 MBCaspian is not your typical Post-Rock band, but they always seem to be the first one that comes to mind when I hear the term. They recently released a monument of an album called "On Circles" which is available wherever you may listen to music. I was joined by longtime homies Philip and Jani to talk about their new album, the follow-up documentary, their gear, their writing process, their influences, Philip's deep disdain for Jim Henson, and much much more. There's over 90 minutes of ad...
The Rigs of Dad Prodcast ep 7: Anton Dang (O'Brother)
May 29, 2020 14:03 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MBRE-UPLOADED! Apparently there was an audio issue with the first bounce. Anton has been wiping venue floors with people's jaws for a decade now leaving many hard of hearing as well as speechless in the process. His band O'Brother just released their fourth full-length, "You and I"... to no surprise, it is amazing. We talk writing, finding their sound, honing his tone, and much much more. Check out the unedited and extended version of this interview (and all other conversations) at pat...

May 22, 2020 05:40 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBI have been looking forward to this episode for a long time. A while back, Josh sent me some mixes of what was possibly a Shiner album, with no real release details or anything, so I could not ask to have him on here to talk about it... Well, now the album is out, and it is nothing short of phenomenal. We talked about the writing process for this record, his evolution as a guitarist, got nerdy over some gear, talked horror movies, and much much more. There is over an hour of additiona...

Don't just listen to what he says here... feel it. I know I did! You can and should check out his bands, and be sure to keep up with all things...
The Rigs of Dad Prodcast Episode 4 - Patrick Carney of The Black Keys
May 08, 2020 04:28 - 2 hours - 132 MBAfter asking/begging him way too many times to appear as a guest on the show, Patrick agreed under the condition that instead of a normal interview, we sit down and watch Metallica's documentary "Some Kind of Monster" instead.

April 24, 2020 04:11 - 1 hour - 147 MBMany might know Chris Johnson as the bassist for the genre-redefining, grammy-nominated band Deafheaven... But his ear and career (his CarEAR) goes much deeper than that. I talked to Chris about wearing several different hats within the band world, whether it be a sound engineer, a recording engineer, a bassist, and more! We talk about his insane Grammy experience and everything leading up to it, and we of course cut to the core of his being in the Lightning Crashes Round. There are so...
The Rigs of Dad Prodcast Ep 2: Christian Lembach
April 10, 2020 03:35 - 1 hour - 132 MBChristian Lembach is one of the most well-spoken, funny, and gear savvy guys out there making music these days. We talked about everything from The Room, to his writing process, to what gives him some of the heaviest tones to hit the stage. Beyond that, how his band Whores is handling the involuntary downtime. While it's quiet for them now, they are still pumping out tunes, gear, and more. Expect a busy second half of the year for these guys, and hear why. If you like this conversa...
The Rigs of Dad Prodcast Ep 1: Brian Cook
March 27, 2020 05:24 - 1 hour - 142 MBSocial distancing cannot keep Ross and Brian Cook from a bicoastal bro-down. Ross talks with Brian from Russian Circles, These Arms are Snakes, Botch, and more about everything from being a musician during a pandemic, to writing processes for different projects, to the importance of films like "Crank 2". Great conversation. Hard hitting questions. More feels than a blindfolded grandmother at a fabric store. Don't forget to subscribe and check out the Rigs of Dad Patreon for an extende...
