Gabba Gabba Huh?
Welcome to the Gabba Gabba Huh? Podcast, featuring the best of The Carolinas' punk, alternative, hard rock, and heavy metal from the past 40 years. While the main podcast (Gabba Gabba Huh? Talks) will be more converstional and interview style, while "Gabba Gabba Huh? Radio" will focus on the music, with some background information on the songs and bands featured. Most songs will be digitized from original vinyl, cassette, or CD sources, thus the quality will vary, but will be rather true to the original form. Hosted by Mike Phillips from Van Huskins

This week, Gary Ramsey paid a visit to the GGH Studio to talk about his nearly 50 years of playing music. Gary is one of a kind and a real hidden gem in the music scene, getting his inspiration by seeing Zeppelin in his teens, cutting his teeth on metal, moving to California and then walking back to North Carolina, a detour in prison after he got back, and America's Got Talent audition, and so many other stories, some of which...
This week I spoke with Mitchell McGirt of Bicycle Face via Skype to follow up on how the reunion show went and to hear about the Caleb Southern tribute show the following night as well. We also hit a few quick tangents and talk about what the future may hold for Mitch. This episode was already planned, but having this week's guest reschedule left a hole in the schedule, so this shorter episode should hold you over until next ...
This week I travelled to Greensboro, NC, to talk to Bicycle Face about their reunion shows and the reason they came about. In addition to talking about their histories in music, we also talk about witty stage banter, Caleb Southern, where Bicycle Face fit into the triangle signing spree of the mid-nineties, and becoming a "that guy!" actor.

This week I visited Jay Garrigan to talk about his career in music, including stints in such bands as Violet Strange, Laburnum, Temperance League, Poprocket, The Eyebrows and others! We talk about his recently broken finger and how it both has and hasn't sidelined his music, about the pros and cons of being on a label, working with Mitch Easter, self promotion, The Eyebrows upcoming record, and more! And be sure to sign up for...
This week I have a shorter, "Release Series" episode! Since it's been a while, Release Series episodes that tend to be shorter and focused on a newly released song. On this episode, Patrick North of Longhost Odds returns to talk about his band's new song, Easy, and what they've been up to. Patrick asks me a few questions too, so you can hear about some things I've been up to as well!

This week, I spoke to percussionist, Scotty Irving, via Skype on two separate days due to technical difficulties and crossed wires! Scotty is best known as the one man behind the Christian Harsh Noise act, Clang Quartet, but we also talk about his time behind the drums in Geezer Lake, Benj-O-Matic, and Spirit of Hamlet, as well as school band, but the main focus of this one is Scotty's faith.

This week I sat down with the band Bog Loaf, at the bar of The Milestone Club in Charlotte NC to talk about their individual and collective musical journeys! I gush a little bit up front and again at the end about what this place means to me, and we have to deal with a fan in the background (I scrubbed it as much as I could), but then we get around to all things Bog Loaf, including their upcoming residency at Snug Harbor (Every Wed...
This week I decided to follow up my Chuck Walker interview (if you haven't listened, do that. Now), with another South Carolina episode, and with someone that got mentioned in that interview, and spoke with Billy Riot via Skype. We talk about his music, his podcasts, getting sober, and finding God. We also cover how he and Chuck became friends and the things they're going to be doing together in the very near future!
This week I spoke with Chuck Walker via Skype about his influential band, Bedlam Hour. Not only does Chuck walk us through the history of his band, but he also fills in a lot of gaps in the South Carolina punk rock history that hasn't made it on the podcast yet. We also talk about touring, his side projects, how punk rock and old age go hand in hand, we have a brief visit from my parents dogs, and talk about getting the band b...
This week's episode is another crossover episode. Much like GGHT73 with The Rooster and Queen City Rejects, part one of this episode can be heard on another podcast! Before we recorded this episode I was the guest on Imvibes Podcast season 4 episode 3 (titled The Crossover), so go listen to that one before or after mine! This week, me and my guests are Eric Milatz and Ernest Stevenson talk about how their podcast recently lost...
This week my guest is Jeremy Radio from Thousand Dollar Movie, Four Finger Records, and Gigantic Recording Company. In addition to his current projects and sharing a lot of Charlotte love, we also talk about his history in music and other bands such as Tighty Whities, The Raineers, and Public Radio, punk rock/DIY ethos, our shared love for The Simpsons, and we bring up Mike Watt a few times as well.

This week I visited The Rooster to record a two part episode with not only the owner of The Rooster, but Jonny and Matt from Queen City Rejects as well! On my half of the podcast, we talk about the trials of getting The Rooster open, how things are going since opening, and about a big punk rock show happening on 3.11.23 with Queen City Rejects, No Anger Control, Self Made Monsters, Van Huskins, and Y'all're! And since QCR...
This week I visited Jason Parker at his studio to talk about not only his time in music, but his current career using his artistic skills as well. We talk about his beginnings with ihafwhohas and the Milestone scene during the mid to late nineties, as well as his other bands, The Vivians, Death and Fame, Throw It To Lucas, and The Dielectrics, how he turned graffiti into a career, and then talks about his upcoming solo project. Thi...
This week T.j. Bravo paid a visit to Gabba Gabba Huh? Manor to talk about his time playing in the bands, such as Polish Friday, LEGGGs, Mr. Gold, Chase Warren & The Homewreckers, and Blame it on Bart, his involvement with Don't Sweat It Inc., Band from a Hat, DIY, and more! This was a fun conversation to both have and to listen to as well and easily goes down as one of my favorites just because of all the things we end up...
New year, new format? Sort of! Gabba Gabba Huh? is back with a tighter, more focused episode for your listening pleasure! This doesn't mean that the longer, artist's journey, style episodes are done, but expect a good mix of the two as I intend to bring you more consistent content for your ears this year! This week, I once again visit with Luke Edwards at his home in Shelby, NC to catch up on what's been going on wit...
Gabba Gabba Huh? is back?! Yes! At least this week! After this, it may (or may not) be next year before I get the ball really rolling again. Hear a little bit about that up front, but I was having microphone issues (causing some audio issues throughout), so some of what I had to say never made it, but you'll get the idea! This week's guest is Ahvid Harris, a local self-described impressionist, with poetry being the main s...
Hey! Gabba Gabba Huh? Radio is back! While I'd love to be bringing you a Talks! episode this week, I've been super busy as of late. Listen to this episode to hear why and to hear about what to expect in the future. Also, listen to all the great songs and support all these wonderful bands!

This week I got my friends Jon and Jordan Bowman to come over and talk about what Warboys US are up to, and what they're up to in general. We kind of go all over the place as this one was just sort of thrown together, and since their stories have already been told, we had plenty of wiggle room for what we could talk about! Expect some general musician talk, peppered with stories about turning teacher's yards into golf cou...
This week I had my friends James Baker and Josh Featherstone come over to GGH studios to talk about their band, World Sauntering Day! In addition to talking about their musical careers (though we kinda skipped over Josh's nu metal band when the recorder stopped on us for a minute and we never really picked it back up properly), we also talk about their recording process, their upcoming show at Cavendish Brewery in Gastonia, N...
