Ep. #1125: Kiwi Jr.

Jeremy Gaudet and Brian Murphy from Kiwi Jr. return to discuss Blowin’ Up, wondering if your dog Angus is related to another dog you saw on the street, missing PEI occasionally and the time a lobster in PEI grabbed my foot, pondering partying and upping the lyrical danger and tension, the current hype around guitar bands like Geese and Angine de Poitrine, making albums differently than Kiwi usually does, our shared love for the band Hot Snakes, office work and computers, the Michigan/Ontario border, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
