#3 Bobby Joe Ebola and The Children MacNuggits
 |
 |
Bobby Joe Ebola and The Children MacNuggits are local DIY music heroes, and the Bay Area’s longest running alt-folk comedy geek rock duo which is also sometimes a full band. Responsible in part for the Geekfest series of concerts (which have featured Cartoon Violence), and the formation of the S.P.A.M. Records collective, Corbett and Dan have been an integral part of the Bay Area music scene for 20 years.
For episode 3 we were lucky enough to sit down with them in JingleTown Recording Studios to chat about history of the band, which albums they do and don’t remember recording stoned, the Broken Strings music festival they are planning for this fall, and the East Bay Punk documentary they are working on with Green Day and others.
