The early 90's were very busy for me. After moving to Portland from Southern California, I was a new father, I was working on my second club called the Push and also my new band Sometime Sunday. This episode I talk about that and the influence of people like Shayde Bridges, Todd Fadel of Sappo, Billy Power from Blenderhead, Andy Prickett of the Prayer Chain and Brandon Ebel from Tooth and Nail records. My musical world was abo...

On a trail overblazen by wannabe Bourdain disciples, myself among them, with our YouTube cultural explorations and influencers with master classes on travel, food and how to make a feature movie for $500, I wonder if there is anything to be heard in my story. There's a lot to say mind you. I just wonder if there is anything to be heard. I'll let you decide. This is a podcast about my life and the people I have met along t...

Field trip!* Josh is late. Josh gets the wrong drink. Josh and Josh talk about their influences, early 90's band life and how their San Diego music culture came to be. Josh wants to start Zacchaeus in the tree fest. Josh wanted to be in snowboard videos. Josh has a new record out. Someone peed on someone. I’m wrestling tiki audio. I’m failing. It's confusing.

Grab your whiskey and cigars...we're out on Ed's and Amanda's patio in Southeast. We get deep into the beginnings of the Portland alternative music scene in the early 90's and talk to the people that were part of making that happen and how they all came together. 

9 people. 32 bands. A half dozen Record Labels.

Early 90's music history as it happened to us in Portland Oregon.

Field trip!
I’m taking you with me to "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" to talk to some scum and villains! I put together a get together of just a few of my friends from the beginnings of the Portland underground scene. Let's call them “influencers'' from a day before social media. In part one of four of the conversation, I talk to my band mates from my first band in Portland in the early 90's...

Running a club was fantastic but I needed to find a band and get back on stage!! The new alternative scene in Portland was growing pretty rapidly but I had no idea that the dam was about to break. In more ways than one.....

My new editing skills leave something to be desired but...I did it! I know there’s a way to take this hum out...hmmmm. I wanted to take you to a show with me. The 18 year old in me just peed a little.

Some rants and rabbit trails about rain, boobs, the hair salons in North Portland and peeing into reservoirs. Stuff from the trash bin.

I had just arrived in Oregon and after burying a Llama I attempted to open a Christian music club just where you'd expect one. On a street known for drugs, prostitutes and sweet smelling Asian sauce, upstairs from a marijuana head shop with an undiscovered flooring issue. Perfect.

I moved to Oregon when I was 20 for what would be the beginning of a lifetime of creating concerts, live music clubs, festivals and bands. You could have never convinced me as I found myself moving from palm trees and sunshine to a small, tree lined farm out in the middle of nowhere. My only real possession, my black Kramer bass with white plumbing tape on the edges. And then...rain....and more rain....and then it really started to...

I didn't fit anywhere in 1985 high school. Nerds and geeks were cooler than me. I was something else entirely. I was a Christian youth group kid. But that's not all...
I wanted to be in a kick ass rock band.
Not good.
Back then I got my first taste of both being in a band and promoting a show for others to come to. From then on it would be a drug to me. I would also get my first experience in being at odds wit...
