ontheupbeat

You get this podcast for nothin and the jokes for free! Checkered Past finishes off their trilogy of episodes on the poster children of third wave Ska, Reel Big Fish! To discuss the band's later years, Rob and co-host Engineer Joey welcome Gary of Backyard Superheroes and the On the Upbeat Podcast! First, Gary discusses his checkered past, his long history in the New Jersey Ska scene and his connection with the Ska pods! Then, the trio go through Reel Big Fish's indie era with their bizarre Monkeys for Nothin album, the triumphant return on Candy Coated Fury and the laid back positivity of Life Sucks. To cap it off, Rob and Joey play a game of Sell Out and answer a couple listener questions.

Go back and listen to Part 1 with The Third Rates and Part 2 with Devon Kay to get caught up!

Give high fives to all the guys at Disneyland cause Checkered Past is back in the O.C. to discuss the dancing divas of disco-ska, Suburban Legends! To help out, they invite Matt Vest of fellow Ska-Pod On The Upbeat to break down the bands full length catalogue. First, Matt talks about his Checkered Past, the impetus of the Ska podcast and his deep connection to the Southern California Ska scene. Then, Rob, Celine and Matt go through the bands entire career from their post Ska-boom beginnings to their brief forays into glam rock to their elaborate stage designs. Its all capped off with a game of Disney Canon... Fire! Imagine how Celine feels about all this?
