🎙️ Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast – 8PM EST! 🎙️
Sometimes the best episodes aren’t about big topics or breaking news — they’re just friends sitting down, cracking jokes, and seeing where the conversation goes.
Tonight, I’m hanging out with my buddy Isaias Gil, the El Chingon Drummer from down south. He’s opinionated, impatient, kinda funny (mostly funny-looking), and a guy who’s drummed for David Lee Roth, Black Flag, and even played in front of Phil Collins. His mom still says he sounds best on Sunday mornings at church.
No script. No agenda. Just two friends talking about life, music, and whatever comes up.
Grab a drink, pull up a stool, and join us live at 8PM EST on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, X, and Instagram.
