I had a fun discussion with the one and only Mike Watt yesterday on his @wattfrompedro podcast. It was a real pleasure especially since fIREHOSE was one of my favorite bands as a skate punk kid growing up in Texas! We go way back on this one… Ever heard my first band 7th Floor from 1989? Nope – and you never will. Ha! But we talk about it. We also discuss and play music from my latest ambient collaboration with Paul Carman “Murals For Immersion” as well as Toler Gibson, Head Shoppe, Francesca Brown, Furry Things, and more.
