PG Six

 

Greetings Dead Freaks!

In this episode we welcome PG Six (aka  Pat Gubler) to the show to talk about his latest release, "PG Six / Louise Bock - All Summer Long Is Gone". But that's just a sliver of the ground we cover as he's not only an active member of Garcia Peoples and Wet Tuna, but there's more than twenty years of work to discuss! The conversation is augmented and followed by a few selections from his more recent work before I spin a nice slab of Grateful Dead.

"All Summer Long Is Gone" is a duo album billed as PG Six / Louise Bock and is available on cassette from Feeding Tube Records here. The solo, live, album PG Six "Live At the Tavern" is also available from Feeding Tube Records. It's on vinyl as was as a digital download via Bandcamp.

If you're looking for more Wet Tuna, the quickest path to enlightenment is via the Wet Tuna Bandcamp page. The "Eau To A Fake Bookie" physical release that we discuss is available there or go directly to it here. Looking for Garcia Peoples?  They have a bandcamp page too, which features the upcoming album, "Dodging Dues", which is out in early January 2022.

You can find PG Six's releases on Drag City over on that label's artist page, here.

There's no Bandcamp page for the long defunct Tower Recordings but I wish you luck in your journey.

No Agenda, No Worries

 

Greetings, Dead Freaks!

This go-round, there's no guests, no theme and no worries. It's just you and me and some good old Grateful Dead. Actually, I do spend a few minutes talking about the latest Dave's Pick and Garcia Live releases because they're good and worth your attention. I also spin the first single from the upcoming Garcia Peoples album and as well as a Grateful Dead cover from songwriter, Glenn Thomas. Then we get into a bunch of Dead music ranging from 1973 to 1981 and featuing some serious hot rock & roll as well as deep jamming that will not disappoint.

The new Garcia Peoples album, "Nightcap At Wits' End" is due out in October and is available from Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records. It's more song oriented than their last album but suffers no lack of killer guitar riffs & solos. I cannot get enough of the thing so far. You can find it at https://garciapeoplesbbib.bandcamp.com. If you're a record collector like myself, they've just announced a second pressing of the very groovy splatter vinyl so jump on that before it's gone. Time will tell but I suspect that this is a strong candidate for many end-of-the-year lists. 

Glenn Thomas' excellent cover of "Black Muddy River" can be found at his website, https://www.glennthomasmusic.com/. There you can also order his new record, "Reassure Me There's A Window" which is a lovely collection of songs that is well worth your ears. Thanks to Glenn for sending me that cover to share with all of you.

Greetings Dead Freaks!

These young guys bring a fresh ear to the two guitar indie rock sound, bending themes and melodies with a knowledgeable, psychedelic, intent. We've got some live stuff from one of their recent shows after the interview.

And after that, some terrific Grateful Dead.
