  • UK Cheesesteaks, Coconut Milk & Cold Nuggets: UK Invasion Part 3 the Finale
    May 23 2025

    UK trilogy: complete! Three episodes, one tour, too many questionable snacks, and unforgettable moments. This episode of The Juice is the full debrief.

    We just wrapped our first-ever headline tour across the UK, and now we’re back in the Bay: grateful, emotional, maybe still jet-lagged.

    - Every show? Broken down. - Food? Yep, way too much. - Shoes? Discussed & admired.

    Highlights? Fans singing the riffs back at us (you made us feel like rockstars). Brond got us a hawk walk in Ireland. YES! We had a hawk land on our hands next to a castle. Wild.

    Oh, and Sammy showed up with cold Taco Bell chicken nuggets, more science experiment than snack. Brond kind of liked them. The sauce? Suspiciously like Cook Out. We ate them anyway. Obviously.

    We’ve got a special twist too! Producer and off-camera legend Danny DeRusso finally joins us on camera.

    This one’s a thank you. To the UK. To the fans. Thanks for showing up, singing loud, and making it real. We’ll unpack our suitcases eventually.

  • Beans for Breakfast, Pea Soup for the Soul: UK Invasion Part 2
    May 15 2025

    Recorded just a day before we hopped the pond, this episode is a Central Valley special. We’re joined by Ben from Just Friends, along with Bart and Logan from Chain: the full 559 crew in effect.

    We dive into what it’s like commuting for hours, not just for band practice, but also to pile into a van and disappear for a month on tour. We unpack the legendary, steaming green mystery that is Pea Soup Andersen’s. And then it gets real: from touring the U.S. and hotel habits, to van hierarchies and the weird little rituals that come with living in a 15-passenger box with your best friends and your collective body odor.

    In segment 2 we attempt optimism very cautiously. We talk about what we’re excited to eat in the UK (spoiler: yes, it involves beans at breakfast), whether British hotel rooms will have more than one electrical outlet, and what kind of emotional collapse might happen at our acoustic set at Banquet Records.

    Rounding it out w the most epic mailbag one could ever hope for, narrated live by DJ Chuck Salad in the flesh. We open up the bag and it’s bursting with greatness. These questions? Straight outta our beautiful Bay Area Party People Discord, and they brought the heat like a Stockton summer.

    This is Part 2 of the UK Invasion Trilogy. If you missed Episode 1, go back and do your homework. Episode 3 is coming and it’s not wearing a seatbelt.

  • Taking Beef Out For A Ride: UK Invasion Part 1
    May 6 2025

    We are back! The kickoff to our three part UK Tour series! Recorded one week before we left for our first-ever headlining tour in the UK, starting in Ireland and working our way from Glasgow down to Brighton. Yes, we’re international now.

    Sammy and Brond break down what they’re looking forward to, what’s keeping them up at night, and why this tour feels different. In the second half of the episode, we drop some bittersweet news: our boy Yanko won’t be on this run. He’s heading out as a guitar tech for Balance & Composure on the Peripheral Vision 10-year tour, supporting Turnover. Huge opportunity. Huge loss. We’re not crying, you are.

    We squeeze in a lil connective tissue with a meal before the mail bag, and close with the only thing that truly matters: our Taco Bell orders.

    This is part one of our totally unplanned but now very real UK Tour Trilogy: • Ep 6 – One week out • Ep 7 – Night before we leave • Ep 8 – Two days after we return (exhausted, emotional, possibly still jet-lagged)

    Let’s ride.
