    After The Millennials

    Two sets of paternal twins make up the Alternative band 'After The Millennials'. From the same parents too! The familiar nature of these kids (16 and 19) helps make their harmonies sweet and beautiful. They grew up with instruments surrounding them and naturally fell into it. The youngest twins, Nate and Naomi (16), are kind of the glue for this group…mainly Naomi actually. She's also the one who does most of the talking, writing, and singing. Their parents came out to watch the recording…and to protect us from these wild and sarcastic kids. It took us awhile to really nail down the lineage of these kids, but when we do we find out the Nate and Naomi are the youngest set of twins, playing Drums and Guitar respectively. Seth and Sarah are the oldest and provide the Piano and Bass…Seth couldn't make it to the recording, but he was there in spirit! Their music comes together wonderfully with silky harmonies, smooth melodies, and stories from the heart. Make sure to follow After The Millennials on social media…these kids are already working the scene, playing the Chain Reaction and House of Blues up in Orange County. We get a live performance of one of their tracks and play two of their recorded songs, including their first single "Dream of Me" available anywhere you can get music… 10:30 - "Dream of Me" 21:52 - "Fifteen" (LIVE PERFORMANCE) 45:53 - "Follow Your Lead" The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on revolutionizing the music industry…one artist at a time!

    Koda Sounds

    Koda Sounds is a 4-piece rock band built with members from all over Southern California, but still having some San Diego roots!  You might recognize Paul and Renee from their former cover band "Strange Affliction," and they play the eponymous original song from their latest album "Back to Life" LIVE for us in studio! We learn from each member where they're from and how they ended up in San Diego, and the stories grow from there. Including how Tyler RESEARCHED THE WRONG KODA! These guys go by "Koda Sounds" everywhere you find them… The band's latest album is titled "Back to Life" and we get to hear the title track early on in this episode. This album has an interesting story with surrounding the last song…it's also the only song Paul sings lead vocals on. The whole band brought their instruments (the cheap ones) to perform a live version of "Strange Affliction" and Tyler finds he likes a mic'd up Cajon! We're also very lucky to get a DEBUTON with the new song "Can You Ride." Don't forget to follow them at kodasounds.com and everywhere on social media @KodaSounds. Look for these guys…they're a bunch of fun and love to perform. 11:16 – "Back To Life" 32:15 – "Strange Affliction" (LIVE) 44:48 – "Can You Ride" (DEBUTON!!!)

    Squeaky Buddha

    Squeaky Buddha are three guys who came to us via our website and we could not have been happier to meet them. Wes and Jessie are very close brothers, who actually failed in a band together before, and the two just decided to move to San Diego and do music full-time! Apparently Nashville and New Zealand were already checked off their list…and their drummer Cody followed them from Nashville. These guys busk, live in their cars, and bust their asses at open-mic's all over San Diego just to do what they love… This episode is unique as Squeaky Buddha hasn't recorded an album yet, so we have them plug right in and mic up the studio's cajon and have ALL LIVE RECORDINGS! Wes and Jess write the music together, with each of them singing their own songs. These guys have been playing together about five nights a week, and the live performances shows. They go through tempo changes as if a conductor was counting time, their harmonies are tight, and their soulful voices might send shivers up your spine. Enjoy all the "shout-out's" these humble young men give, and their very upbeat attitude…and make sure to see them hitting up an open-mic in North County! GO SEE THEM at Saddle Bar on Sunday's, Mr. Peabody's on Mondays, First Street on Tuesdays, Pour House on Wednesdays, and Aztec Brewing on Thursdays!  17:55 - "Lazy Bones" LIVE RECORDING 32:24 - "Cellophane" LIVE RECORDING 48:02 - "Limit" LIVE RECORDING The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on revolutionizing the music industry…one artist at a time!

    Scott Thorn

    Scott Thorn wouldn't exist, as a solo artist that is, if it wasn't for his wife! This singer/songwriter was pushed by his wife to finally take his original stuff public. Scott humbly thanks her, as well as nearly every person he's worked with, before ever touting his own accomplishments. Which are many! He's already a very prolific writer and has many songs written, he was one of five artists picked to write a song for the 2016 Acoustic Guitar Project, and has worked with many skilled producers. Scott is full of stories and happily shares his thoughts on many topics from Shoe Trees to his beautiful Gibson guitar. This National City, CA resident, traveling by way of Florida, D.C, and many other places, has evolved his sound through his travels, as well as his many projects he been a part of. From Hair Metal to Country, and recording for the first time at Blitz Recording studio he's nailed down who Scott Thorn is…musically. We preview three of his songs, one being a NEVER BEFORE HEARD acoustic version of a new song! Once again, we get another DEBUTON here on the Futon. Check out his newest album "Broken Horses" out now. 12:24 - "Broken Horses" 27:41 - "Picture under my Pillow" (DEBUTON – LIVE) 47:26 - "Forgive Me (Feat.

    Blue Largo

    Eric Lieberman has been playing the blues in San Diego since 1981...but it wasn't until Alicia, his wife, agreed to sing with him did Blue Largo form. This 6-piece band consists of many members; however, Eric and Alicia are the duo behind the music. Well, mainly it's Eric's bike. We talk about how he comes across his original music and how they choose the covers they work with, while Cory tells blind jokes and "dirty" jokes. Eric also shares his condition that limited him for many years, but he doesn't let it slow him down anymore! Eric insists Alicia's angelic voice is what makes the song. He also laments about how band leaders really shouldn't try to "mold" singers to their vision…rather, find someone who fits your style! We share three of their original tracks from their latest album, "Before The Devil Steals Your Soul." With eleven originals on this album, and many more on the way (even though Alicia disabled his bicycle), find Blue Largo's performances on their website at www.BlueLargoBlues.com or their social media. 13:29 – "Wash Away" 36:05 – "Monrovia" 50:55 – "Before The Devil Steals Your Soul" The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on revolutionizing the music industry…one artist at a time!

    Eddie Salcido

    Eddie Salcido, the blind Pianist…T, has been HARD at work with our cohost Cory Wilkins to create his new album. He happened to be down from LA (we've been trying to get him to STAY down here) recording and he sat on the Futon to share what he and Cory have been working on.  Although he follows classic country roots, thank to the Mac Davis show, his new album incorporates many different elements around that classic sound.  Not a departure...just growing another root. This full-blown "RedNexican" is blind from birth and has had a passion for music as long as he can remember.  We talk about what that was like and how he's overcome obstacles.  We touch on stereotypes and how that can work against and for him in his music career.  Our resident blind guy commiserates as we talk about it.  We do share a few songs from his newest EP and learn about how personal his music can be. 10:41 - "She Loves" 25:26 - "So Do I" 38:14 - "Wait a Minute" The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on revolutionizing the music industry…one artist at a time!

    Americas Favorite Punk

    This is Americas Favorite Punk! That's their name, so it's kind of a thing. Mathan (pronounced MATH – IN) began his music career as a HARDCORE drummer for a few bands before forming Americas Favorite Punk. He initially developed the idea as a cover band with an old band buddy. As they practiced the classic punk artists and developed their chops a decision was made to go all original and then Mathan decided to go solo. It's now an original project founded as of August 2018 and Mathan has an interesting take on how to bring music out. He's starting with singles…but, he has a slightly different plan on the album, and Cory Wilkins weighs in on that. His music is mostly tradition Punk, with a splash of Alternative. He brought us three tracks, one of them a rough mix of "Punk Rock Jacket Girl," formerly titled "Charlene." When we recorded this episode the song hadn't been released. Listen to it on Spotify and compare the released version to the teaser we played at the end. The conversation veered away from music, as it often does, and we ended up talking about Scientology, how women talk, and throwback TV commercials. Cory even goes on a little chat about home studios. Big Jon rants a couple of times, but luckily Mathan takes over… 13:17 - "Midnight Beautiful" 33:23 - "Avalon" 40:03 - "Punk Rock Jacket Girl" (ROUGH MIX) The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on revolutionizing the music industry…one artist at a time!

    Sluka - Dusty Futon Musicians Podcast

    Christopher Sluka is an experimental rock artist who just can't stop doing! Not just with music, life in general. This outrageous and outspoken man humbly tells us how hard he works and downplays his tenacity towards getting the project done. He even admits he has a bit of OCD. The guy has grouped together four pilots who love music and appreciate his style. He brought along his new bassist, Anna Eppink, whom he met at his flight school (Learn To Fly San Diego). She's an accomplished artist and pilot in her own right, "I just have to be up in the air…or playing music," she says. Sluka earned a bit of coin after getting signed to a label in Japan; he invested in airplanes and teaching others how to fly instead of in the stock market. It's come in handy when needing overhead shots or to travel with gear though…since he owns the planes. Christopher Sluka is prolific in many arts including painting. He has toured his works around the world and creates his own album covers. Speaking of that, we play some tracks from his recent album "Colorful Radiation" and even get a live performance with Sluka and Anna of a their song about the San Diego Zoo! Pretty fun chatting with these two…well, mainly Chris, Anna doesn't really say much. But does she wail on that bass! Something fun about Sluka, when he was signed in Japan he had to change the band name, since his name was a pick-up line in bars! Take a listen and enjoy something different and tasty to the ears… 11:33 - "Rise" 28:15 - "Number One" 48:18 - "Virga" 48:18 - "San Diego Zoo" The Dusty Futon, LLC is focused on revolutionizing the music industry…one artist at a time!
