We catch Jay Northington, the vocalist and guitarist for the band Nothington in an Uber and he tells us stories about 4th Grade Talent shows, Nothington headlining their first show ever, the 10 year anniversary show for Red Scare Industries, what it’s like when your father finally gets it, bittersweet memories of lost friends, band members pitching off limit tents in the middle of clubs, and how the worst show can end up restoring your faith in humanity.

We spoke to Jen Razavi and Poli Van Dam from The Bombpops while they were on tour driving through the desert,
and they told us all about playing a High School Battle of the Bands, and then ruining that High School Battle of the Bands forever.
Las Vegas adventures, playing in the middle of nowhere, legendary punk houses, European shows, drunken turtles,
and rallying from a hang-over by showtime.

We spoke to Chris Shearer from Build Them To Break just before their west coast tour dates, and we hear about Canadian shows, being forced to play last when you are barely ready to play first, rolling around in glass, playing marathons first thing in the morning in front of fully naked people, forgetting half the drum set for a college show, and playing a church when Satan is clearly on your side.

We talk to Adam Davis, vocalist of Gnarboots and guitarist for DESA and Link 80, and hear his stories about 'Wortstock’ Barn shows in Gilroy, CA, accidentally being invited to teenage house shows, a moment that it all comes together in Switzerland and all that’s left of the show is a poster in the kitchen, when security storms the stage to perform themselves, chugging half & half while sweaty, random homeless guest musicians, memorial shows for an iPod, the art of purposefully getting a negative reaction out of your own audience, boycotting the headliners of your own show, getting banned from clubs, and trying to destroy Dominic’s bass amp. check out 3gigspodcast.com for more.

Today on 3 GIGS, Rob Black from Tail Light Rebellion! He tells us about the two books he’s writing, how the modern scene is stronger than ever, touring as a two piece, playing in a jazz funk swing band only to still get complaints for being too loud, playing last at a Vermont Bluegrass Festival, drinking moonshine on stage, performing for more people then you think you are, the weirdest show ever in Houston, and the second largest Raggedy Anne Doll Collection in Texas.
