Outer Limited: The Outer Limits Lounge Podcast

SSM - "...very available for anything!"

Chad and Jeff are back in the bar for season 2! Back in March, right after the 2024 Hamtramck Blowout, the members of SSM, John Szymanski, Dave Shettler, and Marty Morris, sat down together to tell their whirlwind story, having formed in the mid-2000s for a frenetic 5+ year period, with a handful of albums, international touring, long crazy road trips and long crazy nights! Buckle in, cuz they've got some wild anecdotes to share!

Lost Episodes: Sean Clancy

This week, we're digging up one more episode from our "lost" archives--a conversation with Sean Clancy, longtime bassist of Child Bite. This is a punk/metal band formed by Shawn Knight back in 2005, and they've since released more than a dozen albums and EPs and toured the U.S. with notable acts like Down, Voivod, Negative Approach and Phil Anselmo (of Pantera). Clancy's been a member of the band since mid-2007, making him the longest-tenured member, other than its founder, Knight.

The Lost Episodes: Dave Shettler

Here's another episode from our "lost" archives: Dave Shettler visited Chad's old house back in 2019 to talk with us about music. I wish I could be more specific about that, but frankly this is a wide-ranging philosophical discussion about so many facets of music, the musician's life, the creative process, (and not to mention a bunch of crazy anecdotes), that the best way to sum it up is to simply say it's about... music. 

Shettler is a member of SSM, a former member of The Sights, and also previously released music with Moon Pool and Dead Band. There's also recordings of his ambient project available on bandcmap. https://davidshettler.bandcamp.com/ 

 

Enjoy! 

Zach Shipps: The Lost Episodes

This will be NEW to just about EVERYONE! An episode from a "lost podcast" from the unsearchable archives! We've dug up an interview from 2019, recorded in Southfield. But trust us, this will 100% FEEL and SOUND like a regular Outer Limited episode. Enjoy!

Chad and Jeff interviewed producer/engineer/musician Zach Shipps of RV Audiolabs https://rvaudiolab.com/

Shipps is also well-known for his long tenure in the Electric Six, but over the last 15 years, he's worked with countless bands around the local music scene. Enjoy this flashback episode and please come back for more next week! 

 

All Heavy-Hitters: Chad and Jeff Look Back...

Chad and Jeff look back on 25 episodes of the Outer Limits Lounge Podcast! Thanks for listening! 

Josh Malerman: Flashback

Season 1 is just about wrapped up, but in the meantime, we thought we'd resurrect "episode # 1" for any new listeners out there! This is a flash back to the first week of March, 2023, when we had author & songwriter Josh Malerman join us for our very first recording. We hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for more special content in the weeks ahead! 

Bonus music: "Starz" by Carjack. 

Jon-Mikal Bartee - The Idiot Kids’ ”Chapels”

We're getting this episode out just in time for the Idiot Kids album release party, which will be hosted at the Outer Limits Lounge on Sat., December 2nd. If you missed that, then that shouldn't stop you from pressing play on this wonderful interview with the band's lead singer/songwriter/guitarist, Jon-Mikal Bartee. Just ignore Jeff's kinda muffled vocals on the recording. 

To quote Jeff: "The Idiot Kids have the energy of punk, the roughened aesthetic of garage rock and the melodic sensibilities of art pop... This is music with shake-you-up hooks, frenzied tempos, gnarly guitars and anthemic vocals." And if you want to find out more and listen, click here: https://theidiotkids.bandcamp.com/ 

Songs featured include:
"Wilted Bloom," "Whtie Flag," "Accidents," "Chapels," and "Nothing" by the Idiot Kids.
