Episode 12: LifeBlood Guitar Picks and Mike Watt

Welcome to Episode 12 of the Podcast! In this episode we sit down to talk to bassist Mike Watt and we bring you a new piece of gear to check out. First up is Frank Fyock of Lifeblood Guitar Picks. Frank Started designing guitar picks after a hand injury made it difficult for him to play guitar. Frank's design focuses on forming picks to the natural curve of the hand so the pick moves less. We talk to Frank about how all this started and why he launched his Kickstarter Campaign. Next up is legendary Bassist Mike Watt. Mike was part of the famed California Hardcore Punk scene where he and his bandmates in the Minutemen forged new musical directions that merged Punk and Jazz together. Mike and I discuss the gear he uses in the studio and on tour. Mike also has a new book out and you can learn more about that at Iron City Rocks. Featured at the Top of the show was the song "All is Lost" by the band "Bleed The Freaks". I recently spoke with guitarist Mike Roberts for Iron City Rocks, and really enjoyed their music. Check them out when you have a chance. Until next time, make some noise!
