Ep 291 Brendan Dyer (Milly)

Season 1 · Episode 291

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 • Duration 01:17:53

Our guest this episode is Brendon Dyer of LA band, Milly. Brendon was previously in an east coast band called Furnsss that eventually disbanded before he relocated to LA. Things came together relatively quickly for him there and it's been all gas since. I caught up with him in Seattle while the band was doing a tour with Militarie Gun but fret not, Milly will be back in Seattle for folks that would like to see the band. December 3 at Madame Lou's which is a great opportunity for Seattle folks to see the beloved Belltown venue off into the afterlife as it is slated to close before the end of the year. I hope you enjoy!

Ep 282 Rev (The Drowns)

Season 1 · Episode 282

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 • Duration 02:30:27

Our guest this episode is the magnificent Rev from Seattle's own, The Drowns. I can't believe that Rev and I never met before or became tight bros through all of our collective time in Seattle. But, let me say that I'm grateful to know him now. What a dude and what a cool band! Rev and The Drowns will be playing Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas this month as well as leaving on tour in Europe this summer including another go at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool (UK). Be sure to catch them live! I hope you enjoy the episode!

My guest this episode is Tim "Ripper" Owens, a vocalist who was rocket propelled into the spotlight when he carried the torch as singer for Judas Priest during Rob Halford's absence from the band.

Season 1 · Episode 190

Monday, September 13, 2021 • Duration 01:52:19

Our guest this episode is Mark Watrous who is yet another Tri-Cities, WA musician to guest on Couch Riffs. Mark currently plays and tours in The Shins but has stayed busy with a number of awesome projects and gigs, including a touring stint with The Raconteurs, since his band Loudermilk was signed to American 20 years ago. Loudermilk's lone major-label release is slated to finally get the vinyl release it deserves via Latent Print Records and the band will be playing 3 shows to celebrate this pressing/release. September 30/Seattle WA, October 1/Spokane WA, and October 2/Richland WA. If this band exhibits even a spark of the fire from their youth when they perform you won't want to miss it.
