Salad Days

Episode #19 - Tim Mech

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 20:49:08 GMT

On the nineteenth episode of the podcast, Dave talks to Tim about the hardcore scene from his early days in Ottawa, all the way to touring the world as the guitar tech for Carlos Santana. In his early days working at a gas station in Ottawa, Tim meets a floppy haired dude in a red car blasting Violet Femmes (aka Dave Bookman), and together they form The Bookmen. From tech-ing with the Rheostatics to The Pursuit of Happiness to Cowboy Junkies, Tim slowly grows the passion for his original music with his current one-man-band called the PEEP-SHOW. Enjoy the stories!

On this eighteenth episode of the podcast, Dave gets together with Ken to discuss his need to play loud and fast as a young Canuck, along with his good friend Steve starting way back when he was 12!

So many great stories including recording with with Rick White, recording with Moe Berg, and always rocking every club (or stadium) like it was a full stadium!

Episode #15 - Best of 2023

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 06:00:22 GMT

On the fifteenth episode of the podcast, Dave teams up with Jane Gowan from the excellent Music Buddy podcast to create a look back on the past year of Salad Days. Dave asked Jane to collect her favourite stories from each artist, along with short introductions/impressions, to give context to all the great stories we heard from everyone from Carla and Lynette Gillis in Episode #1, all the way to Charlotte Cornfield in Episode #14. As a special bonus for this episode, we finish with a cover of the embryonic song from The Burning Hell. This is kinda my take on the concept of the 'Music Buddy Sessions' you hear at the end of each of Jane's podcasts and you will not want to miss it!

We cover the early years in Halifax playing with The Super Friendz, and then moving on to a career in music production with his own studio doing albums with everyone from Molly Rankin to Rita McNeil.

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 19:16:10 GMT

On the very first episode of the brand new podcast from Zunior.com's Dave Ullrich, we sit down with Carla and Lynette Gillis to discuss their early days growing up in Nova Scotia, Canada. From using their dad's toupee as a key prop when making their bedroom character skits, all the way to early live metal shows in downtown Halifax, we learn more details about the early origins of their unique music powers. We always feature an embryonic track from our artists and you will not want to miss the early recording of their band Pongo Boy serving up the searing metal chop of the song 'Incudust'. This conversation includes the history of the song and movie Scott Pilgrim, and touches on the contributions from many characters from the early 90's scene in Halifax. The stories end with wise words of wisdom from these super talented sisters, and life-long musical partners, plus a taste of their latest single called 'Your Heart' from their current band Overnight.
