Faint Halos joined us this week to talk about the band's journey which started during the pandemic. We talk about the creative process, getekeeping in Philly music, and Kid Rock Airlines. With a Wilco vibe, and a desire to create more community and get more people out to live shows, Paul talks about how the band has evolved in just a short time. Catch them wherever you stream music!

We are joined by Julie's Nonna because, well, it's our podcast and we do what we want. But ladies and gentlement, you are in for a treat. We covered everythign from T Swift to the McRib, to Nonna's monk boyfriend, to a budding romance between Chris and Nonna. There's just a lot to deal with in this episode.

On this episode we meet Harrisburg area comic Dom Driscoll. He talks about his need to be heard and what drew him to standup. We talk about his van adventures, working in "da club", and hear from an amazing storyteller.

Dom will be on the Lehigh Valley's Funniest show with Chris at Emmaus Theater on June 26. His van show will return this summer!

Julie is fresh off releasing new music with Gun-Shy Butterfly. Catch the band's first show, and see Sacred Monsters too, on July 11 at Tin Can Bar.

We make amends this week for calling Matt from the Ditches "Dan" from the Ditches. There's a deep discussion about the Burger King long chicken sandwich you won't want to miss. We give each of The Ditches Spice Girl Names, John Facenda visits the studio, and we talk a little about music.

Rock n LOL is the podcase about the Philadelphia standup comedy and rock communities. See out next comedy show at The Gem in Spring City on June 19!

What can we say about this episode with Comic Eric Preston? We covered so much ground. We discussed the importance of shared cultural experiences like Tiger King and the overabundance of pandemic sourdough. We discussed Eric's writing process for his unconventional "dad jokes" including the importance of SOLICITED dick picks. We discovered the abundance of voice talent in the Spring City area, and we went on a cultural journay with white women everywhere. This and much more on Rock n LOL.

Rock n LOL is a podcast dedicated to the artists and art of the Philadelphia standup comedy and rock communities.

Julie, your favorite co-host, is a guest for this episode. She and her bandmate Andrea formed Gun-Shy Butterfly last year and have been making a ton of music since. This is their first appearance on a podcast, and we will talk about this very unique musical partnership. Plus, debut two songs, (that's right, WORLD PREMIERS) off GSB's upcoming EP.

New format! We changed it up a little. Now you get to hear from us for a full episode every other week.

Oh, and we discuss Katy Perry launching into the heavens on the world's largest Hitachi Magic Wand. All this and more.
