Hey it’s Johnny Zero and Shaner Macaulay. On this week’s punk rock dad cast we have our very own producer Jen K, who was recently on an Emo Cruiser featuring Silverstein and many other bands! Plus, we dip into some Iggy Pop, Rancid stories, Simple Plan from when they transitioned from Reset, MxPx, retiring Linoleum from NOFX, and how Johnny was actually in the Nothing to Lose video from Billy Talent! Plus we have all the photos and videos and fun to go a long with it! Enjoy!
Shaner at The Dive Bar in Vegas seeing DI getting knocked into a table and chairs while filming DI.
And some local friends we made! Fuck the strip!
Johnny Zero when he was living in Vancouver, BC driving bands around town. Got to drive Rancid around!
Shaner’s Rise Against Tattoo, that Tim from Rise Against once used as his desktop wallpaper. “Everchanging”. (Tattoo was done in 2003?) Hence the phone.
Jen K our producer in Cardiff, UK. Last day of the Creepshow Tour. Feb 9, 2020. With Anti-Flag, Maid of Ace.
Shaner talks about his Dad always being in radio since before he was born, and how he’s been raised in radio, there now for 19 years, and it looks like his son loves music and radio as well. Here’s a couple pics of Shaner’s Dad Steve, and his son Finnley.
Johnny caved and got married! But he got got a good one!
Next, we talk about how Shaner is still only in his 40’s… (42 currently) and still love stage diving and surfing. Here’s a short video from the most recent show. Senses Fail on November 9 at The Phoenix in Toronto.
Then we go on to talk about how NOFX retired Linoleum. Shaner actually covered that in his first and only band, Lunchbox Superhero out of St. Catherines. But here is the new version done by NOFX with Avenged Sevenfold that we talked about posting.
Couple more here, hope you can keep up! Talked about Cauterize, who used to be known as TOE!
So, this is the foam Jager finger that Johnny was trying to win! Shaner got one from Montebello Rockfest. They were everywhere. Just go to Rockfest man!
Johnny was in the Nothing to Lose video from Billy Talent. Can you spot him? Comment if you can!! He is in there a couple times! HINT: He is almost in the thumbnail preview!
So Shaner and his Wife went out for their Anniversary out to Queen Street West in Toronto. It was and still is, but mostly was an iconic street know for its music history. Not only punk, but for everything. I grew up going to punk shows on Queen West. So I had a blast. There is a good book, and podcast tour you can follow if you are interested. The book and a few photos below! Be sure to check it out!
Last but not least. We have talk about the Music Hall in Oshawa, which was shut down. Ed and Maggie did an amazing job running it. But what decision they made next is mind blowing! They purchased 44 Bond. That’s right. The old Dungeon building. The one under Lazer Quest. The whole building. It’s going to be fantastic. Here are some pics of the progress. These pics were taking in Spring of 2022.
