Episode 9: Elijah Stoll (Awakebutstillinbed, Best Buds, Leer)

Welcome to Episode 9 of the Heavy Snacking Podcast! This week my guest is Elijah Stoll from Awakebutstillinbed- we had a low key, late night chat after his show in Orange County and we finally got to catch up after their 2 month mega-tour. The band is still on the road, so I’m grateful Elijah was down to talk after the gig. We talked about coming up in the San Jose diy scene, playing drums in the legendary skramz band Leer, and using (loud) music to cope with the hard times. We touch on tons of music he was involved with including Best Buds, the Blue Lagoonies, Beach Bummed, Elijah_Skateboard, and of course awakebutstillinbed! In the second half we discussed local spots in San Jose/Santa Cruz as well as New Mexican cuisine, Taco Bell, sharing meals with friends and his top 10 sparkling waters. Come back next week for my special crossover episode and tasting with Kyle and Ellie of the E Word Podcast! awakebutstillinbed: www.facebook.com/awakebutstillinbed www.awakebutstillinbed.bandcamp.com www.tinyengines.net Other Projects: www.bestbud.bandcamp.com www.leer.bandcamp.com
