The Itch Rock Podcast brings you artist interviews, album reviews, and concert stories from Aaron, KC, and Dan — three friends who’ve been rocking the airwaves on 89.1 KCLC-FM since 2004. They’re building community and exploring how music connects us, all with a lighthearted, semi-professional style. If it gets your head banging and your blood flowing, it’s an itch we’re here to scratch.

    The Return of Christmas Eva with Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire!

    This week, we're scratching The Itch to put a Christmas wrap on our 2025 interviews! Per tradition and unenforceable contract, Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire makes her second appearance of the year (and within a month!) for the return of Christmas Eva! And believe it or not, things have happened since we spoke in November! Join us for a conversation that's very much in the holiday spirit, where we discuss the value of Octane to the active rock scene, a unique and interesting tour that was just announced, and... diaper blowouts? It's an explosive episode for sure. Happy holidays! Enjoy. Listen to The Itch Rock Radio Show Rock with us every Sunday night from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM in St. Louis. Outside the area?

    Sleigh Bells on 15 Years of Treats, Touring with a Toddler, Sobriety, and How to Put on a Show

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for an early Christmas present... and a seasonally appropriate one at that! Aaron checks off a pair of wish list guests as Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller of Sleigh Bells join us to talk about their latest record Bunky Becky Birthday Boy, how motherhood, sobriety, and a full band have tour life looking different these days, and the work that goes into their energetic live shows (the topic that also brought us last week's guest, their frequent keyboardist and background vocalist Kate Steinberg). Plus, as they celebrate 15 years of their first record, we'll learn just how much Alexis and Derek love Treats... and pastries. Enjoy. And for further listening, as promised: Sleigh Bells on LSQ: https://jennylsq.com/2025/04/02/sleigh-bells/ Derek on Songwriters on Process: https://www.songwritersonpodcast.com/derek-miller-sleigh-bells/ Alexis on Female Guides Requested: https://femaleguidesrequested.com/podcast/ep-48-alexis-krauss-rise-outside/ Listen to The Itch Rock Radio Show Rock with us every Sunday night from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM in St. Louis.

  3. Coach Kate Steinberg on Holistic Touring Health and Working With Sleigh Bells and Motion City Soundtrack

    Coach Kate Steinberg on Holistic Touring Health and Working With Sleigh Bells and Motion City Soundtrack

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for tour support! Kate Steinberg has built a career as a touring and recording vocalist and keyboardist, a voice teacher, producer, and arranger, a songwriter, and... if it seems like this list keeps going, that's because it does. Kate is a multi-talented musician who caught Aaron's attention with her boundless on-stage energy as. she rocked keys and BGVs on Sleigh Bells' recent tour. And that's not the only type of tour support she offers. Kate custom-designs programs for physical and mental well-being and accountability for touring professionals as they face the stress and chaos of life on the road, a practice that has earned her the affectionate nickname of "Coach Kate." Join us for a conversation about her own adventures on tour with Sleigh Bells and Motion City Soundtrack, as well as her insight into how Tour Support programs can meet a felt need for an element of band life that's often not given the care it deserves. If you're a musician who's interested in Tour Support or any of Kate's other offerings, don't forget to follow her and reach out to see how she can help. And follow Emily Prime, Soundbody, and Kate's sister Lindsey Steinberg to see what's coming next. Oh, and follow us for a great photo of the Moogstand. Enjoy!

    Concert Catch-up: Warped Tour Orlando and Tom Morello!

    This week, we're scratching The Itch to see what all the hype is about when Dan heads to Orlando for the revived Warped Tour and Aaron sees Tom Morello for the first time! Dan's adventure included expensive-but-satisfying food, a broad definition of punk, a happy wife, and an absurd step count. Meanwhile, Aaron was treated to some surprise guests, the future of socially conscious hip hop, a strangely shaped venue, and some of the best riffs in rock. Enjoy.

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for gratitude! Once again, we had a record number of interview episodes in 2025, and we're treating you to a true buffet of bonus clips from them with our annual Leftovers episode. Enjoy them while you recover from Thanksgiving, while you celebrate (or mourn) your football team's performance, or while you shop (or don't, which we love even more).

    Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire Enters a New Era

    This week, we're scratching The Itch to celebrate. And who better to invite to the party than our most frequent guest and honorary co-host, Eva Marie of Eva Under Fire... except this time, she's reclaiming her own name and introducing the industry to Amanda Lyberg. She's been through some things in the past few years, and boy does she have a lot to say about it. Join us for a celebration of not only 300 episodes of The Itch, but of the beauty of bringing your full self into every space, and to the amazing things that can happen when you persevere in the music world... even when it's purely out of spite.

    Revis on Creating Their First Album in 20 Years and Feeling More Inspired Than Ever

    This week, we're scratching The Itch to call it a comeback! Revis was one of the first new bands The Itch played on the radio in our college years. Now, 22 years after their first LP, Places for Breathing, they've finally released their second, Killing Time. Following a quick chat at their recent Delmar Hall show (more on that here), Justin Holman and Robert Davis join The Itch to talk about this new release, the challenges and benefits of modern music making, and the importance of having the support of their spouses, and being hungrier than ever creatively half a lifetime after their debut.

    Concert Catch-up: Eva Under Fire, Buckcherry, Grandson, Ho99o9, and more!

    This week, we're scratching The Itch for All Hallows Eva (our idea, not theirs) and Grannyween (their idea, not ours)! KC and Dan saw a pair of shows in St. Louis featuring Itch guests [Eva Under Fire](https://evaunderfire.os.fan/), [Buckcherry](https://www.buckcherry.com/), and [Grandson](https://grandsonmusic.com/), plus the stylings of [Drew Cagle & The Reputation](https://drewcagle.com/) and an appropriately timed appearance by [Ho99o9](https://ho99o9.com/)! This one features some lessons in front person and fan etiquette and a curious number of old ladies, and we most definitely do not answer the question, "how old is too old for trick or treating?"
