Many local bands have aspirations to pack their gear into a smelly van and hit the road for places unknown to tour the country.  This week’s guest is living out that dream.  Listen in as Andy from the Wisconsin reggae-rock band T.U.G.G. calls into the show from somewhere in the Nevada desert to talk about their current tour as well as their new album Come Sunrise… From the benefits of meeting people on the road to the temperamental weather of the Midwest, Courtney and Andy discuss it all.

This show is brought to you in part by MNSKA.com, Minnesota’s Ska Community and the Fancy Pants Gangsters podcast network.  Become a fan of the show on Facebook, follow Courtney on Twitter, or email him at FOSS@fancypantsgangsters.com.

A band that has been generating a lot of buzz in the Midwest lately is La Crosse, WI reggae-ska band T.U.G.G. They have been hard at work for the better part of a year working on their new full-length titled Come Sunrise... due out on Last Call Records.

In support of their new album, T.U.G.G are hitting the road on the No Sleep Till Sunrise Summer Tour, their largest tour to date.  They are also playing with MNSKA band GOULASH at Santorini’s in Eden Prairie, MN on Saturday, June 12th.  Be sure to check out that show because it’s your last chance until August to catch these guys in the Twin Cities Metro area.
