    186. Thoughts On Bowling: The Bowling Boys Make Robb Bald, Berkeleys Involvement in 9/11, New Music & Tour | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA186! Today we are joined by Thoughts on Bowling, making them the FIRST EVER MEMBER OF THE THREE TIMERS CLUB! We've had Berkeley on, we've had Mitchell on, but now we have all 3 of the fellas at once and it gets...out of control. Not only that, but there is a special appearance from Mitch Gulish of Saturdays At Your Place, making him the SECOND EVER MEMBER OF THE THREE TIMERS CLUB. Anyways, now that we have that outta the way, this interview is an atrocity. It's basically 30 mins of us trying to humiliate eachother. it was the best time, we love the bowling boys very much there is a reason they're the first three timers. We talk about when to expect new music, the tour they just announced with other friends of the show, and much more before things really get out of control and Mitchell (and Mitch) shave my head while Berkeley pulls out "The Folder". Anyways, hope you enjoy/sorry you sat through this. ------------------------------- Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!

    184. Chris Broach: Braid, Being a Dad, The Evolution of Emo, American Football & Trump | Emo Kids Anonymous

    Welcome to EKA184! Today we are joined by the incomparable Chris Broach of Braid, The Firebird Band, L'Spaerow, SNST, and most recently...Chris Broach and the Foundation! We talk early days of emo, from touring with American Football and The Get Up Kids to the end of Braid, his thoughts on third wave emo, emo revival, and so much more. We discuss the end of Braid, the reunions, and what "went wrong" for the band in the 90's that led to their break up. Along with this, we touch on all of his other projects from The Firebird Band up until his recent solo endeavor and the new band he has formed for it. Chris is a guy who is constantly chasing something new in the best way and doesn't seem to want to rest on his laurels. The term "novelty" comes up in a very positive way at multiple points and I think it greatly describes his musical pivots over the last 3 decades. Along with the music stuff we also touch on fatherhood and parenting, which is Chris's #1 priority today, as well as the uhh...state of America and the doofuses in charge of it along with our theories for what has caused this mess. It was an absolute honor to have an emo legend on our podcast, shoutout Chris for joining us and we look forward to the new project and hopefully catching Braid one of these summers! ----------------------------- Thanks for watching, please subscribe to our show for more content!
