The DoitIndy Radio Hour

Episode 159 w/Fontaine

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 04:44:00 +0000

06/26/2017. The "We've Had Just About Enough Of This" Show
Musical guests: Fontaine

What would you do if you suddenly found yourself with a whole night of the week to do whatever you wanted? MP, Tolin, and surprise guest Rachel Mare Jones answer that question and many more, and the boys dredge up some moldy local oldies for tonight's playlist. Flying in on their magic and marked carpet with songs about Plastic Tweezers and fishin' with Dean Ween are this week's musical guest Fontaine, who's drummer may have found a kindred spirit in MP. It's the end of a made up era on the Radio Hour.

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Fontaine plays a quirky style of grown up funky prog. In a single one of their songs you'll hear influences from Yes, Zappa, the Dead, early Pink Floyd, psychedelia, and a host of other bands from the classic to the obscure. They take stellar musicianship and paint it with a coat of sly humor, add in some wicked guitar solos, slick bass lines and super-tight drums and you've got Fontaine. Their new album is available at all your favorite local music shoppes and the usual digital emporia. Click on their photo for all the details.

Episode 158 w/It's Just Craig

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 04:41:00 +0000

06/19/2017. The "iNeeda Third Take" Show
Musical guests: It's Just Craig

This episode was so awesome, MP and Tolin had to start it three times. So, their highly detailed analysis of streaming television is lost to the inter-ether for eternity. Instead, the conversation devolved into a pseudo-moronic discourse about MP's son's addiction to historical facts and iCarly. Eventually, the boys managed to get It's Just Craig on the stage for a live performance and an actual adult discussion about the quality and science of modern vinyl. It's time to wax philosophic on the Radio Hour. Rest in peace, Shane Crosby.

Playlist:

The Dead Weight, "Our List" / The Failers, "Gravity Fails"
Garage Sales, "White River" / Fields and Fortresses, "Waiting For Our Stars"
Tony Johnson, "Serenity" / The Young Revelators, "Martin"
Chemical Envy, "Dark Dark Room"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Craig Helmreich performs and records under the moniker It's Just Craig. His new album "Dark Corners" is a nautically themed allegory about humans adrift, and it's one of years best local releases. Don't take our word for it, check out what Huffington Post, Substream and others have to say. Click on Craig for reviews and all the details about It's Just Craig. And you can get your copy of "Dark Corners" just for attending the album release show June 30th at HiFi.

Episode 157 w/Michael Buratto and Cole Woodruff

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 04:12:00 +0000

06/12/2017. The "Corporate's Gonna Go Ballistic" Show
Musical guests: Michael Buratto and Cole Woodruff

MP and Tolin, always on point with their decision making, taped this week's episode outside on the hottest day of the year. As the microphones melt and the laptop suffocates, the boys also deal with a freakishly overbooked show, squeezing in an interview with Young Kingdom in addition to two musical guests. To top it off, Steve Vinson from the Don't Panic Podcast asks the musical question: "how many times can one masturbate in a day?" It's man overboard on this week's Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Hoops, "Rules" / The McDonalds, "Radio"
Jessica Albatross, "Warm Jets Fly Low" / Young Kingdom, "Peanut Butter Shag"
Spacewords, "Wide Eyed" / It's Just Craig, "Go"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUESTS

Representing two very different modes of "singer/songwriter" are Michael Buratto and Cole Woodruff. But it's interesting to hear their two contrasting styles in such close proximity. Michael's album "National Animal" was produced by John Vanderslice and is available through most digital media outlets. Cole's latest EP "The Family Man" will be available soon. Both gentlemen have upcoming gigs in Fountain Square. Click their handsome faces to obtain the details.

Episode 156 w/Eliot Bigger

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 04:45:00 +0000

06/05/2017. The "Twitterbation" Show
Musical guest: Eliot Bigger

MP and Tolin match wits with Spark Joy's Ben Cannon and his platonic man-hunk Chad Lehr - but don't fret because the show is rescued by a super-heated performance from musical guest Eliot Bigger. Ben reveals the details of this summer's Discovery festivals, Tolin leaves his van door open, and MP unwittingly accuses the musical guest of sleeping around. It's time to wind up on that "f" on the Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Hero Jr., "Jump Ship" / Fame and Fiction, "Liar" / Jo Trumble, "Hindrance"
Bomb Cats, "Take It All" / Gypsy Moonshine, "Paper Doll"
Tigernite, "Sunnies" / Michael Buratto, "Tecumseh"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Eliot Bigger has created a whole new type of fusion, mixing parts prog, jazz, and punk. Dissonant arpeggios interlock and bounce off each other inside of off-kilter time signatures driven by some of the most intricate rhythms you've ever heard. The music is equal parts complex technical prowess and raucous power and volume. They have just released their debut album, "Murals" and you should get it. Clicking on the image will get you where you need to be.

Episode 155 w/Dime Novel Devils

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 23 May 2017 04:34:00 +0000

05/22/2017. The "Asteroid Field Navigation" Show
Musical guest: Dime Novel Devils

The show returns to Grove Haus for the long awaited return of musical guest Dime Novel Devils, who in addition to their thunderous performance also opened this week's podcast with a stirring tribute to the recently departed Chris Cornell. The discussion turns to home science experiments and how the new future of music is technique over technology. Plus, Mr. Waffles finds a way to sneak the old theme song back into the show. It's a Double Dip Road Trip on this week's Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Autumn Androids, "Morgan County Misery" / Shadeland, "Away In The River"
Cole Woodruff, "Sister" / The Yavin 4, "3720 to 1" / The Haven Curse, "The Addict"
Crystal Lady, "Run"/ The War on Peace, "Bring It On Down"
Brother O'Brother, "16 Flowers"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

We first met DND as a duo back in 2014. These days they are a powerhouse 5-piece including electrified fiddle and monsoons of guitar. Weaving odd tales of monsters, witches, and bastards - Dime Novel Devils have spent over two years readying their assault on the ears and souls of the local music scene. But are we ready for them? Keep your eyes peeled for one of their face-melting performances. In the meantime, give their Facebook page a like.

Episode 154 w/summerbruise

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Wed, 17 May 2017 02:13:00 +0000

05/15/2017. The "These Mics Will Never Work (In This Town Again)" Show
Musical guest: summerbruise

Fountain Square Brewing Company once again reluctantly "welcomes" the podcast to its comfy couches and comically oversized tables. On this week's "episode" (we're using air quotes by the way), local bon vivant-raconteur-man-about-town-multi-hyphenate Patrick Collins (Dell Zell/Minute Details) joins us for a freakishly long opening segment, the deliciously saucy 'summerbruise' pours sweet lava on your face with a volcano of a set, and Tolin and MP continue to tweak a format that was actually fine to begin with. It's time to fix what isn't broke on The Radio Hour. And stay tuned at the end for some bonus stage banter from our musical guest.

Playlist:

Minute Details, "Stuffed Briefcase" / Young Kingdom, "Take You Alive"
Gypsy Moonshine, "Paper Doll" / Wilson's Reservoir, "Necessary"
Von Strantz, "Birdcage" / Brave Weather, "Maker"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Mike from summerbruise introduced himself to us by saying "we're loud as fuck". This amazing guitar and drums duo blends melodic and explosive pop-punk with a smirk of emo, and are indeed, volume-enriched.....as fuck. Give their EP, "Bummer Vacation" a tumble by clicking on the image. And make sure you see them live - they start their first tour May 19. Give them a like on Facebook.

Episode 153 w/Tommy

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 09 May 2017 04:44:00 +0000

05/08/2017. The "Bowling For Groot" Show
Musical guest: Tommy

More new music and a stellar performance from Tommy, plus MP and Tolin reveal the new theme song, "thank" the Don't Panic Podcast for the warm welcome, and welcome Craig Helmrich (Its Just Craig) to the big pizza for a chat. I am Groot on the Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Eliot Bigger, "Murals" / Wife Patrol, "I'm In A Race" / Zorba Rose, "Train Train"

Cassidy Chamberlin, "Too" / The Dick Cheney That Ate Cheboygan, "Send Me Alone"

Jonny P, "Stand By" / summerbruise, "well at least I'm not vaping"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

TOMMY is the name he goes by and one name is all this dapper gent needs. When your songs are as sophisticated and lush and deep as Tommy's, you don't have time for two names. Give a listen to those thick harmonies and the sweet sophistication of the lyrics, surrounded by some of the most subtle arrangements you've ever heard - and you'll understand why everybody in town is talking Tommy. His brand new full length "We Are Safe" is available wherever Tommy plays live, and will be available digitally soon.

Episode 152 w/Brother O'Brother

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 02 May 2017 04:49:00 +0000

05/01/2017. The "Seven Folds to Oblivion" Show
Musical guest: Brother O'Brother

After 8 delightful weeks of radio silent bliss, the Indianapolis music scene reluctantly tolerates the return of MP and Tolin. Like trying to drop a not so subtle hint to those distant cousins from the side of the family nobody talks about, it's "WHOA....! Is THAT the time?" on the Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Bigfoot Yancey, "Brown County" / It's Just Craig, "Go" / Ryan M. Brewer, "In The Weeds" Shadeland, "Away in the River" / Eleven Endings, "Chapter Four - Gemini"

Dirt Poor Robins, "Jim Jones" / Monofiction, "Star of the War"

Mint the Band, "blessed by lead"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Brother O'Brother performs for the fifth time on this week's podcast. With a new album "NEON NATIVE" set to be unleashed, "BOB" is poised for another hot and stanky summer. Make sure you check out one of their live shows, you'll be blown away by their manic energy and meaty riffs, and you might get to see their alter egos Golden Eagle and Tapeworm wrestle to the near-death. You can get all you'll ever need at their website by clicking on their funky photo.

GROVE HAUS SESSIONS 006

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 02:50:00 +0000

Those Dirty Horse / Pistolero / KIDS

You know how we love the rock and roll at the Radio Hour? We like it dirty and we like it skanky. We like it when the rock and roll doesn't shower for a few days and then does yard work on a really humid day. We like it when the rock and roll turns to look at us and coyly and wipes the sweat off its brow...as if we didn't know what THAT meant. So here are three sets of solid, sweaty, stanky RAWK, from Those Dirty Horse, Pistolero, and KIDS.

*Live music is a great way to discover new bands, so if you like what you hear, let these artists hear you. Check out their social media and get out and see them.*

GROVE HAUS SESSIONS 005

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 02:50:00 +0000

Good Form Jack / No Coast / Lovely Houses

Edition 005 of the Grove Haus Sessions is all about bands we miss. They either broke up, took the dreaded "extended hiatus" or are ensconced in other projects - these are artists we somehow managed to harmonically converge with and capture a moment that may not happen again. Good Form Jack played a few gigs and made such an impression on the bands they were billed with that those bands told us "you gotta book these guys". They were one of the handful of bands we ever booked without really hearing them first. They didn't disappoint. A mix of the raw Lou Reed-Stooges-New York Dolls pre-punk sound with a Pink Floyd twist, Good Form Jack played one of our favorite sets from season 2. We still keep a light on for them in case Good Form re-forms. Kokomo's No Coast was one of the first bands to come across the DoitIndy music transom. MP interviewed them before the Radio Hour was a glint in Tolin's eye. They were a "bucket list" band for us and we caught them during their four-piece aggregation. It's a great speed-rock set from No Coast. Dave Campbell and MP played a few gigs together a million years ago and stayed in touch. When Dave, aka Lovely Houses, was preparing his one-man masterpiece "The Darkest Hue Is Blue...." he was kind enough to perform a pre-release set on the show.

We hope to see and hear these artists again soon.

Good Form Jack: Recorded September 28, 2015

GROVE HAUS SESSIONS 004

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 03:59:00 +0000

Von Strantz / Gypsy Moonshine / Among The Compromised / Katie Pederson

This edition of the Grove Haus Sessions celebrates some of the righteous and kick-ass women of Indianapolis music. Jess Von Strantz, Kelsey Von Strantz, Katie Josway, Eleadah Kemp, and Katie Pederson represent a diverse cross section of rock, folk, and singer-songwriter music, and are generally considered to be at the upper echelon of the music scene as solo artists or with their respective bands. Von Strantz, Gypsy Moonshine, and Among The Compromised have appeared on the Radio Hour several times in multiple incarnations. Von Strantz's segment is actually cobbled together from two separate appearances 18 months apart. Gypsy Moonshine was one of the first bands to appear on the show and have been back several times, and this performance was recorded just as a confident Katie Josway and Co. released a breakthrough EP. ATC's first appearance on the show was also their first ever acoustic set, with a very nervous Eleadah Kemp practically counting the moments until it was over. Katie Pederson writes songs like great chefs cook - her understanding of the chemistry between harmony and melody, major and minor, music and lyrics is masterful. We have only had the honor of hosting her once and it is one of our most cherished recordings.

The Radio Hour supports our friends WOIA (Women of Indianapolis Arts) and asks you to please patronize their events and artists.

GROVE HAUS SESSIONS 003

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 04:59:00 +0000

Bigfoot Yancey / Shifty Digits / Steve Fulton

We are always honored and humbled when we get the chance to give a new band a performance spot on the Radio Hour, just as they are ready to start playing regular gigs and are primed and ready for bigger things. We were very lucky to have Bigfoot Yancey perform on the Grove Haus stage on November of 2014 after only playing together for six weeks. We had a big crowd that night and they brought the house down. Almost exactly a year later, our good friend Nate Deckard brought his new band Shifty Digits to the stage for a very "horny" set (as you read this they have just released their debut album). Steve Fulton is a veteran of the scene and has appeared on the Radio Hour three times. He's become one of our favorite guests both for his music and his hilarious interviews. Please enjoy these live performances from three of Indy's most beloved artists.

Episode 151 w/COASTL

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 04:59:00 +0000

02/27/2017. The "Carnival Titanic" Show
Musical guest: COASTL

It's the last stop on the "Lost In Indy" tour as MP and Tolin check in to Sam Ash Music in Castleton. We had a nice chat with our new pals Tony and the other Tony from Failed Horror Show 4D, and were greatly entertained by musical guest COASTL. Will we or won't we? It's the question nobody wants the answer to on the Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Rooms, "Awareness Prevention"
Veseria, "And Also"
Flying Underground, "Death of Stars"
Danni Al Mar, "E. Washington"
Tracksuit Lyfestile, "Golden King"
Molly Bancroft, "Don't Be Afraid"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

COASTL doesn't play out nearly enough. The music is an infectious blend of first wave dance music and modern rave made by the daftest punks in town. It's the lcd soundtrack for the glow stick revolution and you should be a part of it. Buff, Chuck, and Breck are your tour guides through the corridors of modern synth-funk. Check them out on Spotify and watch their social media for forthcoming videos.

Episode 150 w/Chad Lehr

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 04:59:00 +0000

02/20/2017. The "CL" Show
Musical guest: Chad Lehr

MP and Tolin continue their "Lost in Indy" tour with a stop at the fabulous Fountain Square Brewing Company, basking in the glow of their comfy couches and oversized coffee tables (or maybe they're beer tables). Patrick Roberts stopped by to talk about the just completed Veseria album, and music maven Mr. Waffles took the boys road trippin' from South Bend thru Muncie and on to Bloomington. Great music abounds in Indiana. It's beer-thirty for the Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Letters From Earth, "Gravity"
Mint the Band, "Chemical Bath"
Whelmed, "Empty Vessel"
Shifty Digits, "Doughboy"
Antenna Man, "Guitarless Man"
Stampede String Band, "I'm All In"
Moxxie, "Carpe Diem"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Chad Lehr's songs are pieces of his psyche (and yours) stripped to the bone. It is impossible not to lean in closer when he sings, to want to wrap your arms around him. The way he chooses his phrases and envelops them in beautiful chord structures put him beyond the singer-songwriter cliches. His songs are about break-ups, death, and the lingering smells of a woman. Unique, unpredictable, and unforgettable. Click the album cover and check out his "Songs About Birds" ep on Bandcamp.

GROVE HAUS SESSIONS 002

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 03:06:00 +0000

Then enjoy three songs from the all-too-short lived Megan Hopkins Trio. Finally, its our artist of the month The Pummels, recorded on their first appearance last April. We'll be back (with an actual podcast) next week with musical guest Chad Lehr.

Carmichael / Charlie Ballantine Trio / Coup D'eTat

The DoitIndy Radio Hour gang is taking a week off, but we still want to bring some local music love into your life. We have bands performing on the show every week, so we went digging through our episode archive, and put some of the best live sets into THE GROVE HAUS SESSIONS. Think of it as an intimate live show in your own environment, put on by Indy's best musicians. Live music is a great way to discover new bands, so if you like what you hear, let these artists hear you. Check out their social media and get out and see them.

Episode 149 w/Crescent Ulmer

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 04:59:00 +0000

01/30/2017. The "Mary Tolin Moore" Show
Musical guest: Crescent Ulmer

Will there be a civil war? Will it be fought over soup? And what kind of soup? Will there be an executive order about the soup? And what of hobos - those refugees of the rails? Will they have to go back to Hoboken where they came from? Will the Freemasons like the soup? Give a listen to this episode to get the answers to absolutely none of these questions. Plus some local revolution rock and another guest we just don't deserve to have. It's like last week never happened, on the Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Veseria, "Let's Burn Some Bridges"
Hero Jr, "Anger Room"
Flying Underground, "Beat Girl"
Gay Black Republican, "Fear Is Control"
The Traveling Suitcase, "Vinyl Ain't Dead"
Shelby Country Sinners, "Fuck All Those Songs"
Tommy, "Hello"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Crescent Ulmer writes songs as if building a house of cards - with towering ambition and great care for the fragility of the human heart. Citing multiple genres within his songs, his approach is a reach across the cultural and musical aisle. He's become a quiet favorite within the Indy music scene, and everyone who sees him play can't wait until the next time. Have a listen to Crescent Ulmer's session for the Radio Hour, recorded at Square Cat Vinyl. Click the album cover and check out the "Creature Comforts" album on Bandcamp.

Episode 148 w/Holy Mackenzie

noreply@blogger.com (The DoitIndy Radio Hour) — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 04:51:00 +0000

01/23/2017. The "New Reality" Show
Musical guest: Holy Mackenzie

MP and Tolin do a little more road tripping this week and bring it all back home with new tracks from a couple of Indy's best songwriters. MP yells, Tolin mediates, and Grove Haus owner Carrie mourns her favorite Fountain Square watering hole. It's three chords and the alternative truth on this week's Radio Hour.

Playlist:

Danny and the Darleans, "I'm Right Here"
The Matt Truman Ego Trip, "I Don't Wanna Grow Up"
Sad Jock, "Zero"
Buffalo Rodeo, "Lana (Del Rey)"
Bill Shotton, "Give It Up"
Rooms, "Awareness Prevention"
Jay Elliott, "She's An Outlaw"
Crescent Ulmer, "Intact/Inhalf"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Holy MacKenzie fell out of the sky and into our podcast thanks to the keen eye of one of their fans. This is an incendiary four-piece band, with slashing atmospheric guitars and rolling drums and bass. Local bands Bearbones and Saint Aubin come to mind but that's a baseline, not a comparison. Holy Mackenzie lets their songs breath and bellow, reaching emotional highs and never coming down. Check out their 4-song volcano of a set on this weeks cast.

Episode 147 w/Modern Motion

01/16/2017. The "Tunnel at the End of the Light" Show
Musical guest: Modern Motion

As the nation rockets towards certain doom, MP and Tolin propel further into local music infamy and eventual oblivion. Luckily we have stellar local celebrities like photographer Tim McLaughlin (Hapless Guitar Photography) stopping by to talk about his new book, and our music scene sister and sometimes co-host Rachel Mare Jones enlightening us with tales from an open mic. It's countdown to DEFCON 3 on this week's Radio Hour.

Danni Al Mar, "E. Washington"

Barley Pops, "Steve"
Indien, "Thick As Thieves"

THIS WEEK'S MUSICAL GUEST

Modern Motion is a New-Wave Indie-Rock Power-Trio in the most appropriate place to be a New-Wave Indie-Rock Power-Trio, Indianapolis. The music is fast, slow, loud, soft, and everything in-between, lost hopelessly and glassy-eyed in a night club. Shaken and stirred. In a blender. The next 80's New Romantic/Synth-Rock revival starts here.

Indy's HEARTLAND HERETICS is one of our most exciting punk rock bands. Laus, Matt Corken, and Johnny Concannon are all charter members of TIED (formerly TIED TO TIGERS). This project gives them a louder, faster forum. HH is already working on a follow up to "Fighting The Good Fight", which was released in November 2016. Go see them live at the Melody Inn on January 15 with Orchard Keepers and Count Rockula.
