  • I'm With the Band, Man Is Hitting Pause. Just pause. Only for a bit. Explanation within.
    Jan 13 2026

    We here at I'm With the Band, Man HQ had a fairly hectic back-half of 2025 and after much discussion we decided we'd take a brief hiatus to give us time to build up a backlog of episodes.


    We decided it wouldn't be fair to the musicians or the listeners to pump these out just to meet some kind of release schedule so we threw this together just so you could hear what's going on.


    But we also have some good news! When we return we will have rippin' new intro and outro music courtesy of friend of the show Chuck Coffey, master of the jingles. But other than that, we'll continue bringing on all of the best musicians and discussing all of those albums that provided the soundtrack to my life.


    So see you soon. Connect with us on our socials. Come chat with us on Discord and talk about music and maybe video games or movies. Like and subscribe. Well, don't like this one because then we'll assume that you like that we're hitting pause and we're super sensitive so that would be pretty bogus. But all of the others.


    Thanks and we'll see you soon!

  • I'm With the Band, Man - Episode 072 - Chad Malone Discusses Senior Fellows' "Shallow Grave"
    Dec 29 2025

    To close out the year strong, Chad Malone comes back onto the show to do a deep dive into everything there is to know about Senior Fellows' "Shallow Grave For a Dying God."


    Unlike every other band Chad has ever been in, this project is unique in that he was essentially a "vocalist for hire" that was originally just brought in to do some lyrics, then his role increased as the album progressed until he essentially became a full-time member of Senior Fellows.


    Chad's humor and his unique perspective on both the band and the album makes for a great conversation to end 2025.


    Both songs from this episode were taken from Senior Fellows' "Shallow Grave For a Dying God" (duh) but since this was Chad's first foray into the band he only did vocals on the A-Side of the LP.

    "Doctrine Contrary To the Established Faith"

    "Examining the Pros and Cons Of Torturing White Collar Criminals"

  • I'm With the Band, Man - Episode 069 - Daisy Caplan Of Ayin / Foxy Shazam / Lung
    Dec 8 2025

    Bringing it back to the Midwest for a very special conversation with Daisy Caplan, the man behind the bass (and sometimes guitar) for Ayin and Foxy Shazam and then the drummer extraordinarie for Lung.


    We discuss his early days in Louisville, how he got into the scene, the gradual evolution of Ayin and how the band changed once he joined, then to him doing double-duty once he joined Foxy Shazam up to the hiatus / breakup (depending on who you ask) of Foxy to his permanent residence in Cincinnati and the formation of Lung.


    Daisy has been around and has a ton of good stories and experiences to share and he's not afraid to hold back. We hope you enjoy!


    Both songs used in this episode are Lung songs:


    "Brock" taken off the "All the King's Horses" LP

    "The Swimmer" taken off the "The Swankeeper" LP

  • I'm With the Band, Man - Episode 066 - Randy Larsen Talks Cable's "Gutter Queen"
    Nov 17 2025

    Randy Larsen was kind enough to come back to discuss everything there is worth knowing about how the Cable - "Gutter Queen" album came to be. Randy was brutally honest about the internal struggles the band was facing around this time. In addition, we discuss how Clinton St. Blues (Eric's favorite off this album) came to be an inflection point and a start of a new chapter for the band's sound.


    Randy has a lot of fond memories as well as a lot of conflicted emotions around this era of the band but it was a great and informative conversation. You won't want to miss this one at all.


    Both songs from this episode were taken from Cable's "Gutter Queen" LP (duh):

    "Clinton St. Blues"

    "Human Interest Story"

    Cable

    Empty Flowers

    Isis

    Randy's stories of his attempts to focus entirely on bass and shift away from vocals through some of the more turbulant times of Cable make this episode truly special. Of special note is his story for how Cable came to be parted from Hydra Head and you will definitely want to hear this one!


    Hope you enjoy this one - it's definitely worth the listen!
