School Nights Only has three rules: (1) See a new band every month, (2) it has to be on a school night, and (3) tickets must be $33 or less. This podcast is about live music, up-and-coming artists, the trap of nostalgia, and the struggle of waking up for work after a Wednesday night at the Casual Lounge.

    Eleven Out of Eleven

    Globeville has at least two places you should visit. One of them serves pretty good fried okra, the other has peacock chairs. In this episode, we brief Matt on a recent Surf Hat show and highlight 2025 releases from some of our favorite SNO artists. This was recorded weeks ago, btw. Blame Chris.

    Velvet, Suede & Fog

    SNO recaps a very unofficial Friday night with Wolf Alice at the Ogden (and Chris is still freaking out). Then we wander into grunge-pop gush mode over Sir Chloe’s Thursday night set at Summit.

    School Nights Only is back. After two months away from the studio, and as our podcast rankings plummet in North Africa, we resume the adventure. This one features a recap of Royel Otis at the Mission Ballroom.

    Poor Man's Beatles: Edinburgh Recap (Part 2)

    Life affirming. The SNO crew ends up with access they didn’t pay for, and Chris might have cried a little. Military grade smoke flares, fine, but absolutely no tiny tambos allowed. And what’s with the ice situation?

    Haggis is soft: Edinburgh Recap (Part 1)

    Casual Drag was excellent, and we love you Edinburgh. Matt (Gimli) and Ryan (Aragorn) survived the hostel just fine. Chris made friends with some Highland cattle.

    Interview: Richard Clarke of Casual Drag

    SNO talks with the frontman for garage-punk trio Casual Drag, ahead of their show at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh. We'll be there, and we've been warned not to wear kilts. Plus, The Honky Tonk Shaman deserves better.
