Episode 76- Of Limbo! I have 3 of the 4 members of the band on this episode - Jake Davies (singer), Luke Davies (guitarist) and Rob Graveley (bass). Drummer Christopher “Bug” Bristol is the fourth member. Together the band had done shows with Blue Oyster Cult, Wolfmother, Hinder, Filter, Adelita’s Way, Joyous Wolf and more. Their latest EP - "Nothing But Now" - was recorded with producer Mike Pepe at Barefoot Studios in Hollywood. The band has a nice eclectic range of songs that showcases their exemplary songwriting and musical talent. Besides their musical talent they are hilarious and I think you will enjoy this episode. Hear all about how the band came to be, how they almost met their demise in a van crash, winning over Blue Oyster Cult’s sound guy, conspiracy theories and much more!
