This week we’re back in the man cave where some shit is shot and copyright laws are pushed to their breaking point–where they belong. Our guest wasn’t able to make it into town for the show, but we were more than happy to play a few tracks by Washington native-turned-Alaskan Musician David Reynolds.

Stay tuned kids! We’re shooting for a twofer this week as we already have another show burning a hole in our collective pockets… or is that gonorrhea? THREEFER!

As our devoted fan could tell, we took a small hiatus late last year as bands started to hit the studios to record and life generally crept up and kicked us in the beans. It took us a bit to get our shit sorted and cobwebs dusted off, but we’re back. Crammed into my new, spacious, box-filled (read: holy fuck you moved in five months ago do something with these god damn boxes!) man cave for some booze addled fun. Step right up and enjoy!

Oh yeah, I uploaded this show late Sunday night before bed and forgot to actually write the post for it until now. Holy ass, I’m stupid.

Hey folks,

I know it’s been a while since we’ve done a show.  We are contacting bands and trying to set up dates to get them on the show.  Most bands are lining up shows for the summer season and playing a lot so we get put on the back burner.  We will hopefully get going again really soon.

In other news, The Scurvies are going to be playing the Cretin Punk Fest in Seattle in late June.  So all of our Seattle friends should go check out this hard-rockin’ band.  I think these guys are on the road more than they are at home.

I think that’s it for now.  Keep your ears open for us and let us know if there is a band we should be paying attention to.

We just wanted to make a quick post letting everyone know what’s going on with the Rude Blender crew.

As you all are aware, the holiday season is in full swing.  And, just like you,  we are busy as hell.  (Which is the reason for the lack of shows recently.)  Not only with the usual family stuff but also with lining up more awesome guests.

We also wanted to know who you would like to be on the show. Listeners can leave a comment on this post. Are you in a band and want to be on the show?  Let us know.  Send us an email at artists@rudeblenderradio.com.  I’m sure Clay has a link around here somewhere.

From all of us… Happy Festivus!

This week we realize we’re a bunch of assholes and never got around to posting shows long since recorded. Lost in the shuffle was this awesome sit-down we had with Eagle River’s Derek Mangrobang. The quality of work this guy churns out in his hodge-podged in-home studio really shows the rest of us how much we suck. Thanks man… thanks.

This week’s show heralds the return of Jeff after two weeks of Las Vegas drunken debauchery. Also our good friend Steven (aka Contact) stopped by with a seemingly shy, and frankly rather emaciated, homeless person to discuss his new hardcore project Chevy Chase. Thus far they have some of the best song titles ever.

For the anime fans out there, show friend Mercedes stops by to talk about AuroraCon 2008. Sadly the event won’t be featuring any local bands, but I’m pleased to see there are a few cute female voice actors scheduled to attend. Oh yeah, and zombies!

For this show Rude Blender Radio (sans Jeff) packed up and headed over to Velg’s place to do the show fireside on the patio. Plenty of good friends attended and plenty of good drinks were served. Live music was provided by the always popular Kara Karels who premiered a new song for us, as promised, and we discuss the details of her upcoming debut album.

This is actually the second take of the show as some cords got snagged and we ended up losing the first take. If you were there you’ll be able to tell that people are noticably more drunk which always makes things more interesting. Regardless, the outdoor show was such a blast we should have charged for admission.

Scott “SKA-T” Emery and “Like a Chocoholic, but with booze” Justin Somaduroff of the godfathers of local music, Nervis Rex, stopped by to put the ‘rude’ in Rude Blender Radio. Regulars of more venues that I care to list (hail be to Humpy’s), this venerable act has been at it for over a decade bringing the best ska wherever they go. We discuss the past, present and future of the band as well as the multitude of highly talented musicians that have come and gone. Interestingly the band appreciates the dynamic shift that new members bring to the show and are open to the possibility of adding new members as others move on. If you’re a local musician who, ya know, doesn’t want to get a real job, give this show a listen; you may very well have a shot at being part of the local music legend.

We also wanted to send out a special congratulations to Don Cosgrove who wasn’t able to make it into the studio due to the birth of his daughter the previous day. You rock, Don!

Those people who wrote in to let us know how much they were anticipating the Vicious Regress show might be a little disappointed; they weren’t able to make it. Yet worry not! We were able to score an in-studio live show from Matt and Evan (aka +Church+) of Mose Giganticus and The Emotron as they concluded their US/Canada tour. We recorded two songs from each act and then sat down for a lengthy chat all fueled by a healthy dose of warm beer and cold taco bell.

We realize that these guys aren’t from AK and we discussed the reasoning behind featuring them on a local music show. When you hear what they had to go through to get here to play for everyone, you’ll understand why we had to get them on the show.

The four tracks we recorded have been made into a live split for us by Brett of Rune Fire Records. There’s a slim possibility that we might make up a few copies as donation-optional giveaways to help the guys get back home. If you’re interested, let us know in the comments.

We went a little long with this week’s show which is making dumping the audio from our mixer kind of a pain in the ass. We’ve pretty much gotten all of the bugs worked out, but it’s put us a few days behind schedule. We’ll get the audio ready for the series of tubes and posted as soon as possible. When you see who our guests are you’re not going to want to miss this one! Stay tuned, kids.
