Bax & O'brien Podcast

Baxie talks to Hugh Patterson from the San Francisco punk band, No Alternative. No Alternative was a staple in the San Francisco punk scene in the last 70's and early 80's. And while they did not commit a lot of music to vinyl at the time, Liberation Hall Records has just released an amazing live album of the band in their prime. The name of the record is "Live at the Mabuhay Garden: November 7th, 1980". This was a performance that shows why No Alternative were so highly regarded by both fans and other musicians at the time. We talk about that, the band, and where things stand today. We also talk in depth about his other profession--as a chess master/coach/and columnist. Amazingly interesting stuff! Available on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and on the Rock102 website. Thanks to Z&M Home Buyers for their support.
