On today’s episode of the podcast Brandon and AP Lindsay are joined by special guest Steev Custer who, as a member of such bands as Fractured Adolescents, My Big Beautiful, Boneyard Brawlers, The Bomb, and Death & Memphis, has been an active member of the Chicagoland music scene for more than 30 years. Together they discuss Steev’s hometown Joliet, IL., band life, and the one through line through each of these bands, his friend and bandmate Paul Garcia. We also discuss his Fine Tunes School of Music, the impending Death & Memphis EP and his uncanny ability for landing himself in Facebook “Jail”.

The only thing that we know about “Peanut Duck” is that it was recorded in Philadelphia in 1965. But it’s unknown, or at the very least unclear, who actually played on and sang the song. Supposedly, it was recorded during a drunken late night session and then shelved with no intention of it ever being released. The recording survived only as an acetate, which was eventually discovered in the ‘80s by a British DJ who took it back to England, and released is as a bootleg on Joker Records. Not wanting his rival DJs to infringe upon his precious find, he christened the unknown singer Marsha Gee (who incidentally had a single out on Uptown Records in 1965). This 2005 re-issue (gifted to AP credits Bobby Scott and Forest Hairston for the composition, but it’s still unknown who provided the vocals.

On today's episode of the podcast Brandon is joined by friends and fellow Blue Islanders Nick Stankus and Scottie "King Onion" Armstrong to discuss Chicago and some of the things that make it unique. Hint: It's just 90 minutes of people talking about pizza. Oh yeah, and they also take some phone calls.
