This episode is too real because during the interview I exclaim that I just never do enough. As do we all, but this night Cudney https://www.instagram.com/cudney.official/ came down to the radio and did more than that. Enjoy.

View Details

On this special episode we have Lich https://lich-slc.bandcamp.com/ playing live in studio. So choice. Some incredible metal here in Utah.

I know you're probably wondering what the heck does Ex.Five.Two means, right? Well you could google it and spend hours sifting through the internets conpiracy sites or you could just sit down and relax and listen to this weeks beautiful show. DO IT!

This band (Ex.Five.Two) is so damn good!

View Details

Another Tuesday means another new episode of Circus Brown's Not a Side Show! This ep. includes a fine Utah death metal band Skull Fuck, but of course I had to change the name of the band to protect the innocent, so Skull Fun, Skull Fresh, Skull Focaccia or maybe Skull Floss is what we used. Enjoy!

View Details

I bet you're wondering how I got about saying 'fuck' on the radio? Well I used every F-word I could but my favorite was probably Focaccia the Informer. Pretty awesome stuff here folks, you're not going to hear this on any other radio station, so get after it.

Back in March of 2011 Beard of Solitude came down to the old KRCL studio and played live. On this episode in March of 2024 Beard of Solitude is back, but this time it's personal. Their drums got stolen so they had to play buckets. Their bass player sliced the heck out of his hand at work so they had to lose the bass and supliment it with bells & whistles. Their lead singer is Ryan Jensen so he had to Ryan Jensen it up. Despite the entire world working against them they were able to put on a show, a really, really weird show. Happy April Fools day!

View Details

This fine night Sonya Castillo stopped by with Sons of Carlisle as her backing band, and then we also had some Sons of Carlisle, two bands in one show! How about that! Please clap.

On Groundhog or is it Groundhog's Day 2024 Coyote Hoods came down to the KRCL studio to put on a nice performance. I really appreciate Terrence, Scott, and Dave finally making it down to play their Coyote Hoods tunes. You see, 17 year prior to this performance I asked Terrence if Coyote Hoods could come down to the old KRCL building and play and he said 'Of course'. Really stoked to have them on. Bill Frost bumped up the volume on this but they're a very quiet and sultry band so you might want to crank it up even more, ok that's great. Look at this, 2 weeks with podcasts in a row!

View Details

I'm so far behind on podcasts, but I'm clawing my way back into the game with a little help from a young and up-and-coming podcast producer Bill Frost. How does weekly pod drops sound? It could happen!

Every time I have a band on Not a Side Show I sit back and listen to them play and think to myself that I hope this never ends. Thankfully there's 127 new bands formed every week in Utah, so there's a really good chance we will never run out of music. Doomcupcake was the guest on January 20, 2023. They rocked, the interview was perfect and hilarious, posting this podcast is so satifying. I hope you enjoy this and all the choice bands that've played on Not a Side Show.
