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 the finale episode(s) and last battle of the bands.  

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

J. Robbins is likely a household name for any true music fan.  Joe Hall should be right up there with him.  Since 2006 his band Hammer No More the Fingers has been putting out rock with more hooks than a bait and tackle shop.  They are celebrating the release of their third LP, "Silver Zebra", THIS friday via Defend Vinyl Records, and will be throwing some release parties early november WITH J. Robbins and his incredible band.  

It is in your best interests to listen to ALL of Hammer No More the Fingers's music, wherever you do that these days, as they have not had a miss in their catalogue so far; AND much of that has to do with their 15-year, working relationship with J. Robbins!   So this is a fascinating conversation for anyone in a band that wants to get an in depth look into the journey behind some of music's best offerings ever.

Get all things Hammer No More the Fingers at their Bandcamp Page and tickets do their release shows at Rubies here.

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 by the lovely Rayshele of Harlow to celebrate their exit from the show in pt 1 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! 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.

Ian has some MUST LISTEN TO MUSIC over at the Interesting Times Gang Bandcamp Page.

Nat and Ian have some tunes you must check out.  Keep up with all things Strangelight by Checking out their BANDCAMP page for all the details.

Facts:  Bassists are the most qualified people in the world to talk about film, which is why Ross and Ian are talking about one of the only things worth talking about: William Friedkin movies...  From "Sorcerer" to "Killer Joe".  PLUS we do a mixtape of movies featuring Monkey Paws, McGuffins, Wishes Gone Wrong, and more.

When it comes to cinema, we are probably the only people you should listen to, and we are stoked to share this info with you
