Offstage at Chinchilla Studio
Three independent musicians who are way too in love with the sounds of their own speaking voices take you on the magical, often whimsical, sometimes tragic, but always comma-separated journey through their world as independent artists. Guest interrogations and music clips, colorful stories, and the like. Run-on sentences, self-indulgent musical crossfades, gregarious guests, and Oxford commas abound. Question marks? Yes.

We compiled our favorite moments from the first "season" (chunk of relatively uninterrupted episodes, with no inherent temporal logic). Guest interrogations and music clips, us finding ourselves very funny, colorful stories, and the like. We're about to kick off our next "season," you know, eventually!
We called ourselves About!... Podcast during Season One, because we thought the inside joke that syntax references was somehow more...
KTP is on tour again! Fresh off the heels of a house concert at the Massachusetts home of TourSleeper founder Dan Bergeron, we sit down with the man to discuss the band hosting platform. Sandi and Josh are among a small team of artist advisors to TourSleeper, and King Taylor Project is among its active user community. We talk about the ins-and-outs of lodging on an independent tour, we stir coffee loudly, and we might even throw a ...
San Diego based musician, consumer of herbal medicines, and all around great dude Nick Crook just released his debut full length album, Sunday Drive, and is touring in support of it right meow! Aside from our soul music connection with Nick, we really like that he always brings beer when he comes over to hang out. But seriously, here's the deal: This record is exceptional—one of our favorites, period. You'll hear plenty of clips fr...
Who are Rosa's Cantina, you ask? Not your favorite local Mexican food joint—okay, well maybe that, too. In this case, we're talking about the Americana/indie country band co-fronted by Carissa Schroeder and Josh Renner. We relate professionally to these folks perhaps more than any other guests we've had to date. We hash out our impressions of the San Diego music scene, discuss balancing artistic fulfillment with band management, an...
Kevin Begin. That's our guest. He's a guy that we know. He's a hippie. You'll like him. I'm sorry, that was presumptuous of us. You'll probably like him. We talk about his working batch of tunes for an eventual debut album, and other such things. You'll like that, too. I'm sorry, that was a bit presumptuous as well. Just listen to the episode.
We try something new in this episode, an alternate format we're calling (for now) "Off The Dome." One of us picks a topic of interest, tightly organizes the episode around demonstrating the topic, and the other two of us "play" dumb and ask questions for "your" benefit... because of course we're brilliant and already know everything. In this episode, davyrockett drones on about high pass filters, but we promise it's not boring—we s...
In this episode we sat down with Ozzie Mancinelli and John McAllister, from much loved and super successful Tom Petty tribute band, PettyBreakers. We talk about the ins and outs of tribute music, how the word "tribute" differs from the word "cover," and how tribute bands get their adoring audiences all hot and bothered.
Classically trained power couple Brian and Ashley Wahlstrom recently graced our studio with their magnificence. Take a trip with us through bits of Brian's life as a formally trained pianist and vocalist on the punk scene. Catch a sneak peak of a couple of tracks from his upcoming EP, The Generals. Applaud mightily at our seamless transition into Ashley's exploits as an opera singer. Book a princess and add "recitative" to your voc...
For the last show of King Taylor Project's five-week Tea Bee Detour, we had the immense pleasure of sharing a stage with the incredible Kyle Phelan Band. Our hearts completely overfilled and exploded, and our ghosts recorded this podcast at Kyle's now-haunted house within a couple of hours after the gig. Get uncomfortable with all the gushing. Find out if that's what she said.
What do you get when you take one Grammy-nominated songwriter with an astonishing powerhouse voice, one super excited baby, one delirious realtor, and stir vigorously into a glass of podcast? THIS! Have your hair compared to a microphone windscreen. Get your twelve-piece soul band co-billed with a theatrical punk metal unit. Expect your favorite horse to give birth.
Seattle-based band Happy Heartbreak bursts into our studio during their February Feels Tour to regale us with hilarity from the road! The band is fronted by our friend and former San Diegan Craig Suede, a man who really knows how to mustache. We couldn't be happier to drink their whiskey and recruit their efforts to help us ruin our awful studio carpet. Get a tote for your emotional baggage, meet Harold the Troll, and have the back...
In this episode we talk about every narcissist's favorite subject... us! (I'll wait...) We're gearing up for the third King Taylor Project tour, and we don't mind telling everyone all about it. We talk about internal markers of success, playing weddings, and the joy of being uncomfortable. Discover the "thingperscar" and have your name for The Choat rejected.
For this episode we invite San Diego chef and longtime friend of Sandi's, Craig Madden, to help us force upon our listeners inelegant comparisons between kitchen-ing and music-ing. Indifferent audiences destroy your soul. Baking destroys your kitchen. Craig destroys a mongoose.
Allen Hinds invites us to his home on a rainy L.A. day to drink some coffee and smell some whiskey. An accomplished touring and session guitarist with an incredible list of previous employers and collaborators, Allen is now enslaved by two mind-controlling house cats who keep forcing him to release his own projects, much to the world's delight. Allen gets a little apocalyptic. Laurel Canyon gets a little rain. Everyone gets a littl...
This episode features Southern California singer-songwriter and radio host Zach Churchill with his producer and collaborator Nathan Kent, and includes a delightful appearance by Zach's fiancée, Arina. Arina shares Russian Christmas traditions. Nate shares storytelling duties. Zach shares a friendship with an e-scammer. The gang shares a pizza, but you don't know it… because… radio. This episode features an acoustic cut of "Bartende...
Singer-songwriter and manipulator of keyed instruments Josh Weinstein joins us for this episode. We explore Weinstein's experiences on the New York music scene, including his unconventional day gig as a writer funding a music habit, we get a taste of what it was like doing a record with G.E. Smith, and we even travel back in time to Josh's prenatal utopia. Sandi investigates Josh Weinstein's exile to California. Davy investigates h...
In our eighth episode, we take a few minutes to reflect on King Taylor Project's recent Personal Space Tour. We forego any guests and talk a bit about our life on the road as an independent touring band. Davy gets Pro Tools 12. Josh gets his Troys confused. Sandi gets our website wrong.
In our seventh episode, we invite Jesse Gawlik and Andrew Bache of Broken Stems to talk about the band's first full-length album, What Are You Connected, their latest music videos, and Clydesdales (for some reason). Broken Stems deals it. Josh smells it. Sandi nails the intro. Davy plans a tour.
In this episode, we are joined by Sven-Erik Seaholm, not to be confused with a seahorse. We zombie-pick the brainz of the veteran musician and producer and learn about some of his most memorable experiences on stage and behind the controls. Josh gets all nostalgic. Davy gets all arrangementy. Sandi gets all the cool segments. Sven gets all the Svennies. Someone's pants get all peed.
In our fifth episode, we ask Wayne Mealhouse what on earth possessed him to buy a dive bar in Spring Valley and cram diverse bands onto a tiny stage to play original music for surprisingly supportive pool-shooting patrons. East County gets multicultural. Wayne gets a cold. Davy gets creative with edits. Josh gets creative with introductions. Sandi gets creative with expletives.
