Skruins And Co Breakfast Show

This week, we were lucky enough to get Chinese music industry head, Archie Hamilton whilst he was in the country for the WAM and Face the Music conferences. We talk about what low level bribes are needed when putting on a festival in China, how bands get sucked into a system, meeting Gerard Way and the lessons he’s learnt from being in the music game for so long. Song: Scalphunter – There Will Be Change Proudly brought to you by The Public Bar and The Old Bar.

In this episode, we set out to teach people about the world beyond our backyard, to set alight the flame of travel. Did we succeed? Only you can tell. Or if you want a spoiler, we totally failed. But nonetheless, we do move in turds and we recorded this episode from an embassy protecting Sadam Hussein’s body. Put on your French cowboy hat, get your Egyptian cotton passport stamped and we’ll see you on the other side. Proudly brought to you by The Old Bar and the Public Bar.

We’ve decided to take a break from the constant trash talking we seem to do and get serious. We’re not super young anymore. We have real adult responsibilities, so no matter how much we want to know if NASA have to plan for astronauts wanking in space, we’re not going to bring it up. Nope. We’re going to talk about being a hard-working musician. We’re going to talk about our finances and getting in the stock market. It’s time we grow up, and we’d love for you to grow up with us this week. Love always, Peter Bognitch and Dr. Grey. Proudly brought to you by The Old Bar and The Public Bar. Song: The Sunset Club – Over and Over

Always on call, snake catcher George Moore tells of incredible tales from getting bitten by a red belly black snake, to crawling under houses with red backs all over his back, to illegally working at a Swedish zoo , feeding apes in Morocco and travelling through Syria and Jordan. So get in to snake mode, don’t get bitten on the neck and learn all about the world of a snake catcher. And yes, don’t worry, I ask him about Snakes on a Plane and how snakes have sex. Proudly brought to you The Old Bar and The Public Bar. Song: Motorhead – Snake Bite Love

Back in the dank and we’re bound for gloryhole. This week we talk to someone who can walk us through the finer points of making love on a bus as well as where to buy postcards in Vietnam. We reach out to our new friend, Dale Weightman as we move in with builders dressed in lycra. Don’t breathe in the bin wind this week, my friends and remember, your body is the one true God. O’Doyle rules! Proudly brought to you by The Public Bar and The Old Bar. Song: Milk Teddy – Suburbs Mystery

Scream 3, Blade 3, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. We’ve learnt that the best things come in threes, so we’ve got part 3 of The Life and Times of a Calculated Risk. We catch up and see how his trip to Bali was drinking fermented coconut water and then as conversations do, we moved on to being a fire and flood restoration technician, the long term effects of using meth and being admin for the Orhpan Black fan page. We also get a look into what it was like on the grounds during the anti-mosque protests that for some reason keep happening in Bendigo even though Shepparton has four mosques and they haven’t been overrun with terrorists.

Think you know a lot about cringe worthy nu-metal and early Metallica? Well, you probably do. It's facts about 36 Crazyfists and Re-Load that take up valuable brain space that has most likely resulted in you dropping out of your nursing course. Life's hard. We all feel it. But you need not feel alone any longer, for Skruins has your back. We know heaps about garbage! What Sevendust member was dating which Coal Chamber member, what the name of Mudvayne's album means, how Lars got his snare sound for St. Anger - but sadly, we still can't answer where do you shit in the suburbs?Proudly brought to you by the Old Bar and the Public Bar.Song: The Wolves lives at High Voltage Fest, 2000. 

Very excited to have Stuart Grant from the Primitive Calculators on this week’s Skruins podcast! He shares what St. Kilda was like in the mid 70’s, taking drugs, being a wedding singer, hosting Rage, becoming Mr. Bum, the new semi-positive direction of the band and wanting to change the world. “When punk happened, we thought that something more important than that was happening” Song: Primitive Calculators – Why Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.

A very special episode featuring my two favourites, Kenny G and Moleman! Yes, in-between screaming at footballers and vomiting on the Great Wall, we finally secured Moleman for an episode. We talk about getting sandwiched by Richmond players, the Australian gun amnesty, bread in a can, post-natal depression and why she made me wear sandals and socks to school!Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.

We've done the appropriate research and this is what the people want. More nu-metal references. Brace yourself for the most agreeable Skruins yet with the best Korn impressions you'll ever hear, lighter burns from Fred Durst, a piss habit you've developed from your Dad and a Bean Boozled eat off.So, shitbags unite and come with us on a walk down nu-metal memory lane.Proudly brought to you by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.Song: Sunk Loto - Lift

This week we welcome, Mark Wilson, bass player for Jet and all round nice guy. He tells us why you shouldn't leave your wallet on stage at Madison Square Garden, what it's like performing at the VMAs and how to get a song in a Spiderman movie as well as breaking the first rule of Fight Club. So stop playing your boss' head like a bongo drum and help me decide what sport to play. Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.Song: Oscar Key Sung - Brush

Ever dreamt of being in a huge band, signed to a major label and doing big international festivals? Well, this week’s episode may squash all those dreams and make your inevitable job managing a General Pants store seem a lot better. We talk to a guy who flew too close to the major label dream only to end up on Skruins talking of having dead rats thrown at him, having your grammar critiqued by Cheap Trick,, eating a horrible parma in Bathhurst and getting kicked out of Hyde Park. Such is crabs. Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.    

Fresh from driving Trophy Eyes all around North America on their recent Vans Warped tour, is our second cousin, King Carrot. He tells some road dawg tales and explains that looking for Pie Face in New York is a waste of time. So, wash your face in orange juice and get your fancy tickled this week on Skruins.

New Zealand's, God Bows To Math come on down to Docklands to infringe upon our parking regulations and discuss the finer things in life, like insurance claims. Would you be liable if your semen blocked your apartment building's drain? Find out the answer in this week's Skruins.Can an autistic sheep find happiness and were Helen Hunt and Rob Thomas seperated at birth? I think you'll find the answer to both is a big, fat, resounding 'no'. Proudly brought to you by The Old Bar and The Public Bar. Buy the new God Bows To Math album, 'Brighter Futures' through Muzai Records.https://muzai.bandcamp.comhttp://godbowstomath.bandcamp.com

Warning with this episode. Sound quality is a bit rough and for some weird reason there is some clicking at random points. Haunted mixing desk, maybe.  But if you think a school excursion to see some ferrets, biting a mole off your arm, doing a scavenger hunt in a cemetery and finding out why dugs are so prevalent in Bendigo is cool beans then could be worth a listen. Oh, and also a girl talks about her horrible, sweaty brush with death! This week, maybe not so proudly brought to you by the Old Bar and the Public Bar. Song by Reykjavictim.

Want to get inside the head of a 15 year old just to see what makes them tick? What's it like going to high school in 2015 when everyone has social media and a camera in their pocket? Do boys still form a circle around two girls and chant 'kiss, kiss' until they kiss?Find out all that and less on this week's Skruins!  We've driving two long hours to do a podcast in our spitural home, Coolac with the three Coolac boys. They spray themselves with chocolate Lynx, check the 'Gram and hand mix cement in the South Australian desert; all for your entertainment!Song: Japan For - A Drink for the RoadProudly brought to you by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.

I was there during the recording and still have no idea what happened in this podcast! What started with a chicken wench making a noise quickly turned in to a burping competition sponsored by Scrotox. Brace yourself for a world of nonsense like a limestone cowboy.  Also, good news! The app is back!Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.

E is for expat and so we got ourselves a real life American to come on and share his tales of getting punched in the head, basketball riots, his hometown crazy and we ponder who exactly directed the cult cinematic masterpiece, Jack? Plus rants on why Uber is the new ambulance and the constant presence of the Mankini. Song: Unwound - ScarletteProudly brought to you by The Old Bar and The Public Bar. 

People in life can get rubbed down to a boring nub. It's easier to remain neautral and innoffensive just to get through the day. That's how old people seem to settle on Bingo as a main activity; no one gets hurt, no one gets offended. Which is why it's incredibly nice to have guests like this. A self confessed bogan who has put his penis through an incredible amount of pain tells of his drink driving experience and whilst managing to survive without hurting anyone else, the court appearances, interlock fitting and pure expense of a toughtless act should steer anyone away from getting behind the wheel if they've had a few drinks. Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar.Song: Witch Hats - In the Mortuary 

The big 5 - 0! Celebrate good times with Chris and Bosma from one of Australia's hardest working and nicest bands, The Smith Street Band. Be ushered behind the merch tent to be strip searched and be probed with tales about the road, the beginning, the scrotom and the future. Song: The Smith Street Band - South East Facing Wall Proudly sponsored by The Old Bar and The Public Bar. thesmithstreetband.compoisoncityrecords.comjackknifemusic.bandcamp.com
