Have music from Dan Carr and the Cure for Asthma, TV Doctors, same old Rat, Alec Lewis group. Also the latest from A.B. the autocrat with exquisite Mr. Pigs and shiest and a band called Arcade All Stars brought to us by my friends in the Bad Music club. So without further ado, let's get started.
[00:00:36] Speaker B: Andy Scullin is such a good dude. The kind of guy that it's easy to talk to.
[00:00:42] Speaker C: He's got some cool stuff he'd like.
[00:00:43] Speaker D: To share with you. Yeah, you.
[00:00:45] Speaker C: It's the weekend.

[00:00:51] Speaker A: Unsight by way up first tonight, Thursday night at no Fun, we have Belle and Chain, Dan Carr and the Cure for Asthma and Brule County Bad Boys Light, which I'm assuming is just a truncated version of Brule County Bad Boys, but either way gonna be a fantastic show. Doors at 7, show is at 8 o'clock. Again, that is Belle and Chain Dan Carr and the Cure for Asthma and Brule County Bad Boys Light. That is tonight Thursday at no Fun, 275 River street in Troy. Right now what we're going to do is hear a song from Dan Carr and the Cure for Asthma. This one just seemed so appropriate on this freezing ass cold day. This one's called Cold Breeze in Albany and it's right here on unsigned 518's weekend spotlight.
[00:01:42] Speaker D: Cold breeze in Albany I wish it would be over Cold breeze in Albany that shakes the trees and clovers I think I seen this one before.
Sure you get it all the time Cold breezing over me I wish you better Cold breezing all the I should have gone sweater.
I think I seen this one before for sure you get it all the time sure I've never been this B.O.
but you don't want to hear me go breezing over me I wish it would be better Cold breezing over me I should have cold breezing over me I want it to be over Come breezing over me that chase the trees.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: That's Dan Carr and the Cure for asthma, Cold Breeze in Albany here on Untimed518's Weekend Spotlight. And again you can catch Dan Carr and the Cure for Asthma along with Bell and Chain and Rural County Bad Boys Light tonight at no Fun, doors at 7, show at 8 o'clock.
Up next Friday we have TV doctors at the 11 at Larcal starting at 8 o'clock and TV doctors last year won Jam Band of the Year at the Eddies. And something kind of cool happened that they, they called. They called my name out as like a thanks when they were up at the podium. And I thought that was like, super cool and that it really couldn't get any better than that. But this year, you know, as I said on my eddie special episode, Unsigned 518 is nominated for an Eddie for Best Arts Publication of the Year. And TV Doctors are once again up for Best Jam Band of the Year. And I don't know, it's just a cool, cool thing that can happen in the span of less than a year. I went from holy shit, they said my name to like, hey, maybe, maybe I'll be up there as well. But anyway, what we're going to do right now is play a song from TV Doctors. This one is called Drug Gutter and it's from their performance live at Argyl Brewing and it's right here on unsigned 518's weekend spotlight.
[00:08:30] Speaker D: It's SA.
[00:09:48] Speaker A: All right, that was TV Doctors right here on unsigned 518's weekend spotlights. That one's Drug Gutter recorded live at Argyll Brewing Company's now unfortunately no longer there. Well, I mean, I guess it's there, the building is there, but. But the Depot has, has been been sold and I guess something new might happen with it and you never know, maybe there'll be some cool music there, but as we know it, it's unfortunately gone. That's a total bummer. But anyway, you can can relive the times at the Depot in Cambridge by listening to TV Doctors live at Argyle Brewing Company. You can find that on Bandcamp this Saturday at Empire Live. The Erotics, Black Cat, Elliot, Same Old Rat and Jupiter Queen will be performing. Doors are at 6:00. And right now what we're gonna do is play a song from Same Old Rat. This one is called Jesus Fish. It's right here on unsigned 518's weekend.

Jesus fish right here on unsigned 518's weekend spotlight and you can catch them this Saturday with the Erotics Black Cat Elliot and Jupiter Queen at Empire Underground. Show starts at 6pm so get out there and check that show out. Looks like it's going to be a killer line. Alright, so right now we're gonna check in with my friends Jake and Mike with Bad Music Club and see what band they think we should know this week.
[00:15:43] Speaker F: Arcade All Stars has less than 100 monthly listeners and it's a ska band from fucking Kitchener, man.
[00:15:48] Speaker B: High score. Enter your initials now.
[00:15:50] Speaker A: Ska.
[00:15:52] Speaker F: Dude, I've been talking about ska like it's a thing of the past, but it's alive and well and right in our backyard.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: This is ska done well by now.
[00:15:59] Speaker F: You all know how much I love the horns and these guys are so much more than that. A really well put together outfit.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: We do love our horns, don't we Jake? And I love this band.
[00:16:10] Speaker F: They are all stars. Full stop. Their latest Release is the three song EP insert coin which came out November 3rd, 2023.
[00:16:17] Speaker A: Check it out.
[00:16:22] Speaker G: You don't know the meaning of free.
You mobilize your fashion based army.
Like a violet screaming through a trans Mr. Radio. All you get is feedback. So proud of what you know but you won't believe me. Cause I'm speaking from the soul and the soul seems too religious so you mark it as unknown.
When the soldiers step into the battleground, they'll never believe the life they found.
A million opinions versus one strong minded foe.
And when I said you've got to let it go? Your defenses multiplied tenfold? A form moral cop is an crime? Yeah, you're wasting your time?
[00:17:25] Speaker C: Well, ideas have been popping in and the way I'm stopping? Save yourself and save the world? Ideas have been popping in and the way I'm stopping? And evil ways of fun?
[00:17:36] Speaker G: When the screams were heard from miles away from the victims who all died that day?
[00:17:42] Speaker D: Locked your way into a fashion sense ignorance no consequence?
[00:17:47] Speaker G: Fighting for the wrong ideas that you can't even defend?
So if you believe in unity could you love a cop? Or a breeze brought that down and your world didn't burn? And you realize now it's your turn? Tell the world what it needs to be? But it seems nobody's listening so you.
[00:18:20] Speaker C: Make haste, do it today? Try to find another way on your journey?
[00:18:26] Speaker B: What did you see?
[00:18:28] Speaker C: Another person you'd rather be?
[00:18:30] Speaker D: I had a friend who had a.
[00:18:32] Speaker G: Foe Taught me everything he knows?
[00:18:36] Speaker D: Locked away into a fashion sense ignorance no consequence?
[00:18:41] Speaker G: Fighting for the wrong ideas that you can't even demand?
So if you believe in unity?
Could you love a cop or a priest?
I had a friend who had a foe who taught me everything he knows? He said I've learned a lot in my many years? But something still bothers me I fear if you lost your friends and you lost your fears? Where do you go from here?
[00:19:22] Speaker C: Where do you go from here?
[00:19:50] Speaker A: That is. They don't teach that in school. Arcade All Stars brought to us by my friends Jake and Mike and their producer Quinneville from Bad Music Club. Every week bringing us bands you should know from their area or on their radar. And I'm sending them up. Andy's rap from our area or my radar and. And we kind of trade bands and it's a wonderful thing and it helps grow the community. So check out Arcade All Stars and all the other great bands at Bad Music Club.

[00:30:38] Speaker A: Let'S ab the autocrat with exquisite Mr. Pigs and Shiest that one's called Way Too long here on Unsigned 518's weekend spot Spotlight. And that is it for me. I thank you so much for listening. I will be back next week with a regular episode of Unsigned 518, obviously another weekend spotlight and then probably at some point next month or in the next couple weeks, I will drop part two of my Eddie's Special. And if you haven't listened to the Eddie special, go check that out. It's kind of cool. I run through the list of a lot of the Eddie's nominees through a bunch of the categories and then kind of highlight people that have a deeper connection to this show. Basically people that I've made friends with throughout doing this show. And then I play some music and I thought it was going to be a one part thing and then I was like, ah, maybe I'll do a two part. But turns out it's, it's definitely going to be a three part because part one was an hour and parts two and three are shaping up to be easily that long. So rather than give you one three hour episode, I will, I will break it up. But you should definitely check them out. They're. They're worth listening to for the the music alone. Maybe not so much me talking, but you know, you get it. Anyway, that is it for me. I am Andy scullin. This is unsigned 518's weekend spotlights and I'll see you on the road.
