*** PODCAST #104 Rich Lombardi (The Sawtooth Grin, Cloacal Kiss, etc.) ***


     Back in July of 2020 I had the pleasure of distroing/fulfilling orders for THE SAWTOOTH GRIN's 'Cuddlemonster' 12" via Wax Vessel. A massively important thing for vinyl/extreme music lovers as well as myself and Zegema Beach Records, that release was the initial catalyst for Wax Vessel becoming the untouchable behemoth it is today. I somehow managed to snag an interview with vocalist Rich Lombardi and it was a very enjoyable few hours. You want stories and info about SAWTOOTH GRIN and CLOACAL KISS as well as Rich's choice music cuts? Well hot damn let's do this! Discussed in this episode: smashing Fraggle Rock, theatre/musicals and Dave's standard Evil Dead plug, Tom Waits' #1 fan, being the center of attention, woodwind vs. brass, tangents on: Stone Temple Pilots, Codeseven, Cave In, Botch, The Blood Brothers, and The Minor Times, high school cliques, Slayer is basically loud Weezer, pre-Sawtooth Grin aka All Ties Severed, the "scab Deadguy lineup", opening up for Coheed And Cambria (aka Shabuti), Mullet Fest, best and worst Sawtooth Grin shows, screaming in a grain silo, opening for Dillinger Escape Plan, Wax Vessel and Nik Velleca, a reintroduction to screamo, being famous or something, the snowball reunion, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Deadguy, Grouper, Jough Dawn Baker, Naked City, Nuvolascura, Timber Timbre, and Tom Waits. Listen to podcast #104 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
