Undetermined: The Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

They're baaack. While drummer David Silver has certainly stayed busy, Season to Risk have written, released and will be touring with new music this year! We were privileged enough to hang out with David on Undetermined the Podcast to yak about their new album, "1-800-MELTDOWN." It's an outstanding record and Season to Risk stays loyal to their roots, but if you realize those roots are grounded in raucous, intense and experimental music, it has room to breathe...and the air is fresh.

We've been excited to make this happen. We at Undetermined the Podcast are proud to welcome Nick Sakes to the family. When I was a young punk, Dazzling Killmen were a core element of everything I loved about hard-core music. His work in Colossamite, Sicbay and Xaddax, had made him seem like an otherworldly figure, to me. We had the pleasure of meeting Nick at Caterwaul a couple of years back. It turns out, he's a very down to earth guy and a cool cat to chat with. His latest release, "Blurred Wires" by Upright Forms is a phenomenal album. Check it out at Skin Graft Records!

It's always a refreshing and interesting conversation when we talk to one of our favorite guests/people Dave Hingerty.  Cutting his teeth as a world-class percussionist with the likes of Kila, The Frames, and Josh Ritter, Dave's worked to continually expand his artistic horizons with his collaborative project Side 4 Collective. (Dave provides a groove as a starting point that any artist is welcome to build upon. It's so cool!)

Join us as we catch up on what's happening with our old friend artistically and personally. 

PS: It's April....watch out for Easter Eggs!

Jon and Matt reconnect with buddy Conan Neutron of Conan Neutron and the Secret Friends to talk about their new record Dark Passengers (it's REALLY good!), mental health, and other stuff. (Who ISN'T interested in Big Trouble in Little China: the musical??)

Critters Buggin', The Dead Kenny G's, Les Claypool, Ani DiFranco, Stanton Moore, Rickie Lee Jones, Brave Combo, Garage A Trois, Hairy Apes BMX, Billy Goat...and much more! To say that percussionist Mike Dillon is anything short of prolific is making an understatement. This guy bleeds music and it shows in some pretty amazing ways. So glad we had a chance to spend some time with him.

He's more than just a bad-ass name. He's also a bad-ass on the six (and sometimes seven) string! But don't let that scare you.  He's also a really great guy in a really great band. So glad we took some time to know Justin Payne of Topeka death metal legends Unmerciful!

We've come across a lot of "Friends" and "Strangers" on the podcast. But never quite so literally! We had a great time getting to know Kansas' own Blood Daubers. This two man unit isn't as interested in any specific musical identity as they are in making good music. It shows!  (It also probably doesn't hurt to get an assist from Godzillionaire's Ben White!) Thanks fellas! We had a "bloody" good time getting to know them and think you will too!

Crack a Guinness and enjoy our conversation with the super talented and highly personable Johnny Boyle! Johnny's been a part of the Irish music scene for many years and has played drums with some amazing acts. (Pugwash; Picturehouse; The Frames; Marianne Faithfull...) He's full of great stories and also happens to be a fellow podcaster! We had a great time getting to know him and think you will too. 

From our ongoing "Kansas As Fuck" series we bring you Lawrence's own Vedettes! While we already knew Ben and Cody as our brothers from Godzillionaire, we were thrilled to spend some time getting acquainted with our new sisters Heather and Lizz! Lots of laughs and some pretty great stories and insights on the music scene in this one.  Super talented and lots of fun (maybe a little too much fun at times!) we are thrilled to have them in the family and to have been invited into theirs. Check out what they do here:  https://vedettesks.bandcamp.com/

After being turned on to the Australian power duo DEAD Matt and Jon were immediately impressed and enamored with their music. Their drummer Jem has been a guest on Undetermined and we were honored to have Mr. Jace Rogers (guitar, bass, vox) join us for a conversation about what makes our countries so different, yet the same. That inevitably led to discussions about rock and roll. We made fast friends and hope you all enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
