About this episode

The episode features members of Boris the Sprinkler discussing their music, a benefit show for Dan Dillon, and the history of the Green Bay punk scene.

Reverend Norb, Paul #1, Paul #2 and Ric Six appeared on Code band talks about their upcoming benefit show for Dan Dillon — former singer of The Minors and one of the founding figures of the Green Bay punk scene — who is recovering from a serious stroke. The show takes place June 13 at Badger State Brewing in Green Bay with Fun w/ Atoms, Rebel Waltz, and the Smart Shoppers. Tickets are $20, with proceeds going to help Dan and his family with medical expenses.Along the way, the guys dig into how Boris got started, how the band started their number-naming system, how Ric Six got his name (hint: blame Vesicular Basalt and Mötley Crüe), what it was like to accidentally play "Kill the Ramones" in front of a terminally ill Joey Ramone, Norb's book, the band's recording history from Testicle Pogo Machine through Saucer to Saturn and beyond, and whether a Boris the Sprinkler documentary will ever happen (short answer: your guess is as good as mine!).You can visit the bands official website at:boristhesprinkler.com0:00 Introduction & Welcome0:30 Meet Boris the Sprinkler0:54 The Benefit Show for Dan Dillon1:49 Who Is Dan Dillon & Why He Matters to the Green Bay Punk…
