Ep 281 Aaron Beam (Red Fang)
Couch Riffs
I was just as pleased as a pig in shit to host this episode with Aaron Beam of Portland's own Red Fang. I've been a fan of the band for quite a long time and have enjoyed seeing them every time time I've had the opportunity. The band is currently taking a break to gather itself and get some fresh air but has recently released Deep Cuts, an album of rarities, demos, covers and odd & ends, to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band. May we get 20 more years from them! I hope you enjoy this conversation! If you are enjoying the Couch Riffs Podcast please consider supporting on Patreon....

Ep 280 Frank Meyer (Street Walkin' Cheetahs/FEAR)
Couch Riffs
My guest this episode is the charming and talented Frank Meyer of Street Walkin' Cheetahs, FEAR, Dick Manitoba and many other punk and punk-leaning bands. Frank and I met on the recent Duff McKagan tour and had a great time chatting backstage at the shows but a lot of this talk is limited to relatively small talk. It was an absolute pleasure to get a chance to hear some of his stories about his early musical experiences and growing up in LA. He tells some great Zappa family stories here, which I was obviously pleased about, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! Thanks for listening and...
