Description

EPISODE 8 - KEVIN MITCHELL

LWICFD! ep.8 welcomes my good mate, KEVIN MITCHELL!!! whom y'all might recognise from deadset legendary Aussie band Jebediah & also Kevs other project, Bob Evans.

Full disclaimer - this is a very special episode for me - Like most people my age (now mid+forfties but back then I had just turned 18) I first encountered Kev & his pals Brett, Ness & Chris (aka Jebediah) when I heard them on JJJ in that most glorious & special of decades, THE 90s😎🤘🏼

Jebs had just dropped the song "Jerks of Attention" & I quickly became a fan, going to many a show as a paying punter (including with my then GF but now wife for our 3rd ever date in 2000!) & life was good. So then "imagine my surprise"😳when a few yrs later (2004) I was lucky enough to fill in for their usual Live sound engineer while he was away on Paternity leave…& the rest they say is history. Stacks of shows, thousands of kms, lots of fun & of course lots of dinners as a audio & guitar tech + tour manager for both Jebs & Bob Evans. 🥳

The last time I saw Kev was with the Jebs when my band Lion Island supported them in 2017 for 1 fun show. Since then obviously a tonne of 💩 has gone down for all concerned & as such we had a lot to catch up on - mostly all good news, some sad, but we cover everything & more in this episode. Some of the good news is you can catch Kev out on the road in October in both of his incarnations as well! Bob Evans is doing the "When Kev Met Bob - The Anthology Tour" this October which features a solo Kev playing tunes from both bands catalogues & Jebs have just put out a bangin' new single called "Gum Up the Bearings" which slaps hard 💥 & they are on tour this November…🍾🤩 links to all this good stuff & more are below.

***as mentioned - we had a lot to catch up on. Subsequently, this chat went for a while - I've edited it down a LOT but if you want to skip over the first bit where we shoot the shit and generally catch up, feel free to use your fast forward button & skip ahead until the timer says 54:17 which is pretty much when the first dinner guest arrives. However the first part does set up the dinner party pretty well imo. Consider it the pre-dinner drinks before the actual guests arrive 😜***
