Hot GFE Action!

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PODCAST



Ty Gerhardt, guitarist of The Girlfriend Experience joined me in the studio on Saturday, July 7th.

It was a show dedicated to great rock bands that have inspired me, like GFE and those that have inspired Ty, while still trying to keep to a theme of a "girlfriend experience". Yeah, I'm a dork. I love searching through my stuff, just to keep with a theme. Plus, it was great fun going through my box of 7" records and seeing just how many New Bomb Turks and Supersuckers singles I have.

The Girlfriend Experience are currently on their SWxNW Tour, traveling all up and down the Western coast, and to the farther reaches of Austin, Texas to Yakima, Washington promoting their latest album, When In Rome...Do As The Lions.

Thanks Ty for coming by, and helping me put on this excellent show. I had a blast. Would love to do it again, next time with the whole band in the studio.

I really really wish the shifts on Pirate Cat were 3 or 4 hours long. There's just not enough time to have a good interview and play all the songs that I had picked out, plus play the songs that my guests bring. Ty had a whole stack of stuff that would have been to play. Thanks Ty for getting all that together. Oh, and I have your Lee Hazelwood CD, I'll bring it to the Vaudeville A La Mode show on the 20th.

Come on out to this great event folks!!
Vaudeville A La Mode
The Uptown in Oakland. Lots of great bands, comedy, burlesque (including me!) and artwork for sale - and FREE FOOD - all for a cover price of $6. You can't beat it with a stick.
It's a monthly event too, so ask Ty if you want to get on the bill sometime soon.
