About this episode

Patrick Kindlon discusses his experiences in the hardcore music scene and the challenges of touring with Drug Church.

Million Miles of Fun. Hardcore scene spokesman, extreme mosh conductor and comic-book guy, Patrick Kindlon , is our guest on Episode 379 of Sappenin' Podcast ! The Drug Church vocalist takes us on a private tour behind Deftones EU/UK arena run, with unfiltered confessions on brutal show injuries, crowd reactions and enjoying their most luxurious catering. In this conversation, Pat explains the juxtaposition of playing intimate punk songs to 20,000 capacity rooms, making a career performing in dingy basements, sleeping on dog stained floors, scene naysayers vs positive perceptions, starting the band as a side project, getting blocked from certain countries, the ugly truth behind tour finances, writing comic stories vs lyric inspiration, punishing deadlines, character arcs, festival fever, untold industry cons, alien accents and more!
