Episode 47 - The History Of Tiltwheel Part 8

The year is 2004 and the band is Tiltwheel. Highlights include - Punk Rock Bowling #6 (LASERS AND WATER!!!), a tour of the Pacific Northwest, where a struggle against rednecks and toilets ensue, the Rythym Chicken drops in for a bit and a contest of wills takes place. Or just drinking, it was just a drinking contest against the Chicken. Who do YOU think won? The 4th of July from hell, Fest #3 and lastly, the time Tiltwheel pretended to be Slayer. Shotgun a beer, call your therapist and check it out. Call your therapist after, maybe? Here are some links to some rad stuff mentioned in this episode -

Episode 29 - The History Of Tiltwheel Part 6 - Too Many Bass Players

Proving that a lot can happen in a short time, here comes the Tiltwheel History series - Chapter Six. Covering the years of 2000 until 2003, the years of the many bass players. We had 5 within that period, plus two versions of the band. Wow. Well, one quit, one dissappeared, one was in Texas Tiltwheel, one (very, very sadly) passed away and the final fellow joined up at the begining of 2003. Highs of those times? A very, very drunken trip to Punk Rock Bowling #3 with bassmaster Lenny in 2001. A crazy and also crazy fun tour with The Thumbs with bassdude Andy in September of 2001. Fun, drinking, recording “Twice The Dose” in 2002 with Jarrod, the Baron Of Bass. Lastly, Sir Paul Of Slowfelt assumes the bass throne in early 2003. And Texas Tiltwheel Kris gets a mention or two. Lows? Our dear friend, brother and bandmate Jarrod passed away on December 8th of 2002. I still think about him every day. 212 Por Vida, homie. Here are some relevant links to your intersets -
