Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour

(S2E11) - Back In The Late 1900's w/Jay & Rich: Doni Blair from Toadies

You couldn’t go 20 minutes without hearing Toadies hit Possum Kingdom in 1994 and 1995, but did you know the band is still going strong, even releasing a killer new record, The Charmer, recorded by the late great Steve Albini, just this year? When I say killer, I mean some of their best work in decades and one of the coolest records of the year by anyone. To catch us up on all things Toadies, bassist Doni Blair joins the show! We talk about The Charmer, including some cool Albini stories, their current tour with Local H, and so much more. We may even mention Doni’s old punk band (That Rich loves) and some other very cool stories. Doni also has an amazing Podcast, Why Bass? which has had some amazing guests. Please listen and also go grab a copy of The Charmer!

(S3E52) – Matt C. White

If you don’t know Matt C. White, you need to, and now you will, because on this episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E52), we welcome Matt to talk about his new solo album, The Flood, available as we speak via Bandcamp, as well as all of the other cool projects he works on like Certain Death, 95 Bulls, and some other very cool stuff coming very soon. I love all of Matt’s work and he is also a super cool guy, so go check out The Flood and all of his other projects, then come back and listen to our chat!

(S3E51) – Auralayer

Back in 2023, this band put out their killer debut, Thousand Petals, that I just loved. Now, the Greenville, South Carolina trio Auralayer is back with full length number two, titled Into The Aura Lair, which takes their awesome version of grunge/stoner/sludge/psych to a whole new level. So on this episode of Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E51), we welcome Thomas, Jake, and Harold to the show to talk about their killer new record that is dropping on December 4th (first single on Bandcamp NOW!) as well as the band’s influences, working with Phillip Cope (Kylesa) on the boards, and so much more, including a Days of the New Green album love session with Rich and Jake. Please check out the single, pre order the album, then come listen to our chat!

(S2E10) – Back In The Late 1900s w/Jay & Rich: Dug Pinnick from King’s X

One of my top five favorite bands of all time is King’s X, and on this episode Jay and I got to speak with Dug Pinnick for 75 minutes, which is still pretty unbelievable to type. We talk about so much, including some of his amazing side projects and, of course, King’s X. Dug is so great, and this is a bucket list level guest, so please check this out. If you are a fan you will love this, if you are new to the band, you will soon see why King’s X and Dug are the best.
