  Speaker A: Welcome to unsigned 51 8's Weekend Spotlight for the weekend of December 13, 2024. Got a great show coming up for you. Got new music from the Sugar hold, brand new music from Big Lettuce. Also going to dip into the Metroland Hot Singles for November playlist and check out a band you should know from our friends up north, and maybe even a Christmas song. But anyway, without further ado, let's get started.
• 0:32
  Speaker B: Andy Scullen is such a good dude. The kind of guy that it's easy to talk to. He's got some cool stuff he'd like to share with you. Yeah, you. It's the weekend. You know what you should do? It's the weekend spotlight. The weekend. All right. The Weekend Spotlight on Sci Fi 1 8.

  Speaker A: So up first, we have Twilight Drive at Nanola tomorrow night, Friday, December 13th. Show starts at 8pm, Twilight Drive, or of course, the Capital Region Premiere 90s group. There's Three Piece, but they all do multiple things while they're playing. They're really fun to see live, really fun to play shows with. My band has played shows with them, so go check them out. Friday night they're going to be at Ninola. Show starts at 8:00. And what we're going to do right now is I'm actually going to play a song from the Sugar Hole. This is their latest single called Ooh La La. And we're actually, when I say we, me and my band, Short Wave Radio Band, are playing with the Sugar hold and the Baton Killers this Saturday at Single Cut north as part of the holiday hootenanny. And for those that don't know the history, like, the three bands really kind of came up together. And we consist of a lot of moving parts and friends and relationships. And when the three of us get together, it's always a really, really great time. And the Baton Killers did their final show, you know, a year or more ago as Tiger Pa, the lead singer, moved away and he's back. So it is the return of the Baton Killers. So it's kind of the show that we didn't think was going to happen, but is happening. So what I'm going to do is, like I said, I'm going to play the latest song from the Sugar hold. Then I'm going to come back and we're going to talk to Mikey, who is the lead singer of the Sugar hold. And then we're also going to get Tigerpaw on the phone, who is lead singer of the Baton Killers, and we're going to talk A little bit about what folks can expect at Single Cut north for holiday hootenanny this Saturday. So right now, sugar hold. Ooh la la. And we'll be right back with Mikey.

  Speaker A: All right, that was ooh la la. The Sugar hold off their upcoming ep and I actually have Mikey of the Sugar hold on the phone right now. What's up, man?
• 6:56
  Speaker D: Hey Andy, how you doing?
• 6:57
  Speaker A: I'm doing fantastic. So when does the EP come out?
• 7:01
  Speaker D: So the EP is going to come out on Friday. So we released Ooh La La a couple weeks ago. But the full ep, four new songs will be out on Friday, streaming everywhere, you know, band camp. You can purchase it if you want. It is available for pre order right.
• 7:15
  Speaker A: Now and it's a four song ep. And what was the name of it?
• 7:21
  Speaker D: Quickie. The Quickie EP or Quickie ep. The official name is Quickie et the Quickie ep.
• 7:27
  Speaker A: I love that you've such. Such short and to the point names of, of your albums and stuff.
• 7:33
  Speaker D: Yeah, dope, sweet. Quickie. Yeah, we, we were thinking about naming it, naming it rip. Yeah, but it, but it looks like Rip, you know.
• 7:43
  Speaker A: Oh, right, right. Not like a bong Rip, because I got, you know, I go to Exactly.
• 7:47
  Speaker D: Or like a. Like. Yeah, like even like Rip Curl, like the surf brand and stuff like that.
• 7:52
  Speaker A: Or like ripping donuts in the parking lot, you know.
• 7:55
  Speaker D: Exactly. You know, we like things that have a couple different meanings. So we ended up going with quickie.
• 8:01
  Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's true. That does have a bunch of meetings. Love that. So album is out Friday or album EP out Friday. And this weekend you're celebrating the release of the EP with a couple of friends and probably a couple of hundred spectators.
• 8:22
  Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, definitely. You may know some of the folks that were playing with Andy, obviously, shortwave radio band. And then, you know, we were toying with if we would actually use this as a celebration of the EP release, because the show is honestly celebrating the return of the Baton Killers. We didn't want to steal any of their shine, but I got a text message from Tiger Paw, the lead singer of the Baton Killers, one day and he just said, the 14th is your EP release party. I said, okay, okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker A: And you know, when Tiger Paw says.
• 8:54
  Speaker D: You have to, you know, with you guys in Short wave and the Baton Killers, we have a lot of friends, but you guys are probably some of our tightest, oldest friends. So it really is special to be able to do that with you guys.
• 9:06
  Speaker A: Yeah, totally. And I was saying before we went into the song, you know how great things always happen when the three bands come together. And since this is kind of a show that we didn't think was going to be able to happen because last year we said farewell to the Baton Killers. So it's.
• 9:24
  Speaker D: It's just going to be that much.
• 9:26
  Speaker A: More special and fun. And then the hootenanny is going on and all the vendors and. And Single Cut is just so fucking awesome. Like, I love that place.
• 9:36
  Speaker D: I love support. They're. They're awesome.
• 9:39
  Speaker A: Shout out. Sweet Tea.
• 9:40
  Speaker D: Sweet Tea, she's the best.

  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker D: So, yeah, really looking forward to getting back to Single Cut. I'm not sure if we've been there since. If we've played there since last year around this time, but we always do enjoy getting over there. And the beer is good. Good environment. I'm looking forward to checking out their new stage.

• 10:27
  Speaker A: Get there early and definitely get there by five, We'll, We'll. We'll punk rock it up and try to, you know, hold off on starting the show to like 5:30. But I'm sure it'll run.
• 10:36
  Speaker D: Run on the punk rock time. For sure.
• 10:38
  Speaker A: Yeah. But also, you know, there's vendors there all day. The vendors and start at noon. Right?
• 10:43
  Speaker D: Yeah. Tattoos. I actually, I'm going early so that I can get a tattoo. I'm gonna try, definitely. My wife is. I don't know if I want to be saran wrapped up while I'm playing. We'll see.
• 10:58
  Speaker A: Right, right. Yeah. I don't know. I've thought about that, but I don't have any tattoos, so I don't know if my. If I want my first one to just be. Or even if I ever get one. I don't know if I want it to be a split second decision on one. Again, you could get the hat and.
• 11:12
  Speaker D: Glasses and that would be.
• 11:13
  Speaker A: Yeah, but I'm, you know, I'm like, currently right now not even wearing the hat, and I'm like, kind of, like, kind of trying to, like, I, you know, maybe steer away from it a little bit. Like.
• 11:24
  Speaker D: No, no. When I picture you in my mind, you're wearing that orange hat, man.
• 11:27
  Speaker A: I know, that's. I know, I know. But now I'm at the point where, you know, people know who I am. I don't have to wear a big beacon on my head being like, hey, remember me?
• 11:36
  Speaker D: That's what it started as.
• 11:37
  Speaker A: That's what it started as is my fear of being forgotten. Like, I hate the. Hey, yeah, I'm Andy. Remember we met and having people be like, I don't know. But it's like, you know, when you see the ding dong in the orange hat, you're like, I remember that guy, you know?
• 11:51
  Speaker D: Yes. Unforgettable.
• 11:55
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 11:55
  Speaker D: Hey, it's good branding.
• 11:57
  Speaker A: It is good branding. And, like, I'm definitely sticking with it for the branding. But you may see the hat a little less. Like, I don't even think I'm bringing it on Saturday. Yeah, but it's more of a podcast thing anyway, you know?
• 12:11
  Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. Do you have any guesses as to what the sugar holds wearing on Saturday?
• 12:16
  Speaker A: Is it something new?
• 12:19
  Speaker D: It's not. No, no, nothing. We were, we were talking about getting like, the flap, like the butt pajamas. We just didn't get it in time. We didn't get it in time. That was a McCullough thing.
• 12:30
  Speaker A: Nice. I don't know, maybe the bomber jackets.
• 12:33
  Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, we'll see.

• 14:53
  Speaker A: Okay, tell me. Tell me what I'm for.
• 14:56
  Speaker C: Saturday, 14th December, big hootenanny going on at Single Cut north in park, just off exit 10. It's like. It's like a minute off of the exit. You'd be silly not to go. It's centrally Located in the Capital district. It's so convenient. There's a few really great plants, really great bands playing that night. We got shortly Radio Man. You ever hear these guys?
• 15:26
  Speaker A: Yeah, they're the best. The best band.
• 15:28
  Speaker C: And a girl. There's a girl in there too. They're awesome.
• 15:30
  Speaker A: I said there. I said there. I didn't say the gentleman like in that other post.
• 15:36
  Speaker C: Yep.
• 15:37
  Speaker A: That was me by the way, that responded to that.
• 15:40
  Speaker C: We got. We got the Sugar hold playing. We're going to celebrate. They're releasing an EP this week called Quickie. Pretty excited about that.
• 15:52
  Speaker A: Yeah. Just talked to Mikey just a minute ago. He says hi.
• 15:56
  Speaker C: Oh my God. Hi Mikey. If you hear this. And then we have the palatial return of upstate New York's premier Killers cover band, the Baton Killers. We're going to be rocking the house. And earlier that day at Single Cut. There's like a bunch of wild stuff going on. If you just want to make a whole day of it from like 12 to 5. There's. I'm looking at all these vendors that are going to be there. There's. There's this thing called Bratty Moon. I don't know what that is, but I'm sure they're very nice and roundabout records. They could be selling records.
• 16:42
  Speaker A: Most likely.
• 16:44
  Speaker C: Yup. Devin Hudson tattoos. I think I went to high school with Devin Hudson. Did you know that?
• 16:51
  Speaker A: I did not know that.
• 16:52
  Speaker C: You want to hear a story about Devin Hudson?
• 16:54
  Speaker A: I guess. Does Devin Hudson want the story told?
• 16:59
  Speaker C: It's probably. Okay. So when I think I was in sixth grade, I had him over for a sleepover and our dad, my dad caught us watching a dirty movie in the morning and we got in a lot of trouble. Let's see, the sourdough swan is gonna be there. You still. Are you okay?
• 17:20
  Speaker A: Yeah, I'm fine.
• 17:23
  Speaker C: I imagine that's some sort of artisanal bakery. They probably. They probably focus really hone in on the sourdough starters. Andy, have you ever baked any sourdough before?
• 17:38
  Speaker A: Yeah, Katie did. Well, I haven't myself. No. But Katie has like old school sourdough starter that like, you know, she keeps alive and feeds. And we do sourdough pizzas and sourdough breads and stuff. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker B: You gotta.
• 17:52
  Speaker C: You gotta feed it every week.
• 17:53
  Speaker A: Yeah, you know, I mean, I don't. My wife does, but that's. Yeah, she's kept it alive for many years now.
• 18:01
  Speaker C: You know, like. Like the swan will be feeding the starter. We're going to be feeding the Capitol district like some really good entertainment that night. So stick around. After the craft fair, we're going to have a whole hootenanny. There's going to be food and, like, the best beer ever. We just love playing Single Cut. It's so much fun. And I just wanted to touch on. Have you heard from any family members about your recent portrayal of your great, great grandfather?
• 18:41
  Speaker A: Yeah, I actually. I actually saw my dad just, like, a couple days ago. Yeah. And he saw me. He saw me smoking weed dressed as Santa.
• 18:52
  Speaker C: Okay.
• 18:52
  Speaker D: Now, did.
• 18:53
  Speaker C: Was this something that your family talked about growing up or was this discovery through ancestry?
• 18:58
  Speaker A: No, no. Oh, hell no. This was like that Norman Rockwell picture and, like, regular pictures of him and all that shit. That was like, in my house. My whole. And for those that don't know what we're talking about, who may not see it on social media, my. It's either great, great, or there might be another great. It's something, but I think it's great. I don't know. Great grandfather, but whatever. He was a Norman Rockwell Santa. And he's also. We're almost positive he's the Santa on the Coke cans. Because after he did work with Norman Rockwell and was on cover Saturday Evening Post, he did some Santa. Some Santa modeling work with Coke. And I'm pretty sure it's still his likeness on the. On the Coke can. But, yeah, no, it was not, like, a newly discovered thing.
• 19:46
  Speaker C: So, folks, if you want to see, you know, some Rockwellian celebrity lineage, you'd be silly not to come to Single cut on the 14th.
• 19:59
  Speaker A: You're not going to make me dress in a Santa suit, are you?
• 20:02
  Speaker C: I mean, you can, however you feel most comfortable expressing yourself.
• 20:07
  Speaker A: You should bring the suit. Bring the suit.
• 20:09
  Speaker C: We'll bring the suit. And if, you know, if you out there listening, if you're feeling in the spirit, dress however you want, for sure. You know, there is not really. I don't think Sweet Tea would mind me saying, there's not really a dress code at Single Cut. I think you can wear as much and as little as you'd like. Okay. And I might take some liberties on Saturday, if I'm saying so myself. I don't doubt, but it'll be appropriate. I want to hear you singing those killer songs with us loud and proud. Yeah, it's gonna be a ball. We're gonna put the who and who nanny can't wait to see you guys.
• 20:48
  Speaker A: Awesome. All right. Tiger paw of baton killers. Thank you so much, man. And I will see you. I will see you Saturday. I'm probably Gonna get there nice and early so I can check out some of the. Some of the crafts. Yeah, you know, I'm excited.
• 21:02
  Speaker C: I just saw that Metal Creations by Nikki Dean is going to be there. I don't know. Rumor has it he's the great nephew of Paul the Dean. So I'd be interested in seeing if there was some sort of southern culinary metal creations that he has for sale.
• 21:23
  Speaker A: Amazing mashup.
• 21:24
  Speaker C: Holidays. Holidays are coming up. Whatever you celebrate, get some gifts. Let's support, let's buy local.

Right now we're going to check in with my friends in the Bad Music club for this week's installment of Bands. You should know the New Hires has 805 monthly listeners and it's infectious indie rock from Ottawa. We need an intern. Man, this. Man, this band's HR department is working overtime. Great job, guys. I really enjoyed the energy that this was bringing to the table. Dude, it has that indie pop alternative sound. That's good. It's so professional and I think these guys are gonna go far. This is a really cool band that checks a lot of different boxes for me and I am frankly hooked. Nice. Me too. Their latest Release is their five song EP for all seasons, which came out September 20th, 2024.
• 27:47
  Speaker B: What's life like? Pastors Parking Lot My will can't wander past I just can't shake this feeling I just can't help but feel death found in a silent room Hoping the stars can align them so I can shape this feel I know I can't help but feel space Gotta get all the time till I can find my way I think I have a problem and I can see the way it goes I guess I'm on a mission Permission to lose control Better conquest It's better to let them know that I'm on a mission A mission to lose control My eyes stare out can tear the night like telescopes searching for light I just can't shake this feeling I just can't help but a space Bound in an empty room Wishing this CL of wine and.
• 29:18
  Speaker A: Figure I have a.
• 29:19
  Speaker B: Problem and I can't seem to let it go Suggestion Permission to lose control Very conscious It's better to that I'm on a mission A mission to lose control 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
• 30:36
  Speaker A: That was the new hires with mission control sent to us by my friends Mike and Jake in the Bad Music club. For bands you should know, which they send me every week. And then I send Andy's Rex up to them and then they play that and it's a nice mutual relationship. They're super good dudes. And I think you should definitely go check out their podcast. They're doing something very similar to me just up north, but close enough where if they expand their circle, I expand my circle and then our circles combine and it's a even bigger circle. Like it'll just be good for everybody, good for all of us, Good for the musicians, good for the people that go out and check out live music and support local music. So go check out Bad Music Club and right now what we're going to do is check in with Metroland's hot singles for November. Every month TJ Foster puts together a list of singles released in the 518 and compiles them so that you can go on the metroland.com and click on it and go check out all the latest music. So what I'm going to do is every week on the Weekend Spotlight, I'm going to just dip into the current hot singles playlist from the Metroland and I'm going to play a song so really just arbitrarily whatever I want. And this one I'm going to play because just the other day I had Exquisite on the podcast. It'll be out maybe this coming week. It might be next week. I'd have to check the schedule. But anyway, I did a full unsigned 518 episode with exquisite and I had a really interesting conversation, really nice dude. And I really like the music. So it was kind of a no brainer. I'm going to play AB the Autocrat with Exquisite and MC Graffiti. This is Old Man Rap and It's here on unsigned 518weekend spotlight.

  Speaker A: That was AB the Autocrat Exquisite and MC Graffiti with old man Rap and that is just about it for me this week. And what I'm gonna do now is just play a Christmas song. And because it's the holiday season, if you are a local musician or artist and you have a Christmas song and you want me to just plug it in, you know, next week's episode or, or the week after, like maybe if I get enough submissions. I'll just do a special episode of, of just some five and eight holiday music music. Who knows? But anyway, I'm gonna open up my email. I hope I, I hope I'm making the right decision. But I do know how to block people. So it's fine, you know, but send me an email. You can send me an MP3. Just send it to andy themetroland.com and whether it's a Christmas song or whether it's just a regular song, a new release or whatever, just, you know, flood my inbox with local music and I think that'll solve a lot of the problem. You know, when I was saying about playing songs without permission, you know, I obviously get permission and I wait until I hear back from the people and get permission. I guess just putting it out there that if you email me a song for consideration, I'm gonna just go ahead and assume that that's permission to play the song. So 518ers, send me your music. Andy themetroland.com and right now we're going to wrap up this week's show with a song from Doomsday Mechanics. And if those that don't know you know, Doomsday Mechanics, when I had them on the show, we were, we were talking and reminiscing about, you know, older times back in the day. And come to find out when some of the members were in a band under a different name. I actually played them on EQ exposure on the local music show, which means that they sent a CD to me and I, and I, I heard the music, but I remembered the, the band name and it was kind of cool to like have that moment with them. So shout out Doomsday Mechanics. Go check those dudes out. They've been doing it for a really long time and their songwriting is fantastic. And this is like my kind of Christmas song. You know, it's, it's non traditional, it's a nice rock in tune and it tells a poignant story, I guess. But anyway, this is Doomsday Mechanics a Christmas carol here on unsigned 518's weekend spotlight.
