There was a mellow energy in the room, we were all pretty stoked for the show but it was just like hanging out with some of your friends, having a beer and cracking some jokes. Near Concord somewhere? Or right in Boston… maybe in JP, hmm. There was then a discussion about where it’s brewed. We discussed the tour, favourite shows and cities, the bands they’re playing with, how they like Vancouver and why you can’t really find any Sam Adams on the West Coast. One of my first questions was “Why me?†to which they all replied, “Because you asked.â€

The plan all along wasn’t to be Rolling Stone it was to be a blogger and a fan.

The backstage area wasn’t quite as impressive, but we didn’t care. Richards on Richards is a lovely old venue, mind you there’s really no floor in the girl’s bathroom and the whole place reeks of soggy wood – but it’s intimate with a wide open dance floor and standing-room balcony upstairs. Brad Parker, the band’s lead vocalist and bassist was sitting close by so we chit chatted a little then moved someplace quieter to talk, although for the sake of the podcast, we really didn’t mind all the ambient noise the club had to offer at that point. Once inside we were hassled a little about the recording equipment, found our names on the list and walked over to the merch table to talk to the ba nd’s manager. When the doors opened I realized that I had forgotten my license. A guy in line behind us, here from Newfoundland, overheard our conversation and asked about the podcast, John promptly gave him a business card. We waited for the club to open, called the band’s manager and confirmed some details – being informed that the first act, The Blue Van, were denied entry into Canada so Aberdeen City’s set was bumped up.

I knew it wasn’t going to be a regular night at the theatre from the minute we arrived 20 minutes early. (FYI: some explicit language is used in this episode)Īberdeen City & The Electric Six – Richards on Richards, Vancouver – Oct. Call it what you want, but this is podcasting. You get to hear the whole interview from beginning to end, with only minor editing to make all the segments flow together. The whole atmosphere is very laid back and unscripted. We get into a variety of topics, including life on the road, their brief time in Vancouver, what it’s like to tour with Electric six, and so on. Our interview audio is now available on RadioZoom
