More than two full years after our last live broadcast, Tell the Band to Go Home returned to the studio to see whether we remember how it’s done. Things got off to a little late due to some access issues and ran a little late, but in between, we had some fun with some new music and some exciting upcoming shows.

Hour 1 is loaded with new music, German requests, and Mary’s birthday (which I think I forgot to even mention…) In hour 2, I steal a page from this past week’s Boots and Saddle (listen HERE), where guest host Brian Saunderson of the great show Hurtin’ for Real cheekily played a bunch of great 90s country music, which B&S host Sean Burns loves to hate. Through 2 hours of great 90s country, Brian played a lot of my favourites, but left a few out, so we pick up the scraps and tack on another hour of great music from the 90s that even Sean Burns can’t dislike!

SPOILER ALERT: I’m doing something that I never do by publishing a podcast before it airs on UMFM. This one felt a little raw and urgent. I needed to hear these songs right away and work though some memories. Maybe someone else needs it before it airs on UMFM, Sunday at 2.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the unexpected death of Dallas Good of The Sadies this week. The Sadies honestly and truly are among Canada’s hardest working, most respected, and loved musicians in the country, if not the world. This show serves as a tribute to a man who’s given us so much joy over his 30-year career, as we hear from all of The Sadies albums, plus an hour of collaborations with some of their many notable friends.
