You‘ve just finished watching an incredible set by a cool new artist in your local venue of choice. They are unreal! Destined for great things. You can feel it in your bones. They are so much better than the posers Susan had on the radio yesterday in work.....fucking Susan and her Grande, Iced, Sugar-Free, Vanilla Latte With Soy Milk. You desperately want to tell them that you get it, you understand the hours they‘ve poured into creating amazing music, honing it to perfection, the blood, sweat and tears that they‘ve spilled for their art.

You try to resist as they pack up their gear ready to move onto the next show in the next town, yet you find yourself possessed with an inescapable compulsion to interact with them... you approach the stage.... those cliched words slip from your mouth... Sick Set Bro! They wince as if you‘ve stabbed them directly in the heart. You awkwardly fumble your way through an attempt at one of those cool fist bump things you spotted the bartender with the cool haircut pull off hours earlier and then in a cloud of shame you slink off into the night cursing your very existence.

This is the Sick Set Bro Podcast where we talk with independent artists at various different stages in their musical journeys. With interesting stories, amazing insights and a tonne of really great advice from hard working musicians trying to do everything by themselves from tiny bedroom studios to grimy dive bars to cold, wet, health and safety defying rehearsal spaces.
