  A R&T HHH Production: Back In The Late 1900s w/Jay & Rich: Doni Blair from Toadies

  Oct 2, 202637 min

  (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!

  (S3E51) – Auralayer Back in 2023, this band put out their killer debut, Thousand Petals, that I just loved.

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.
