Hi Ho and Sweetie end 2024 with epic free show (Episode 1012)

Car Con Carne

Gilian from Hi Ho and Birdy from Sweetie jumped in my car at the end of 2024 to talk about their free show at Schubas (also including Reckoner), happening on 12/30/24 (New Year’s Eve Eve).

We’d originally planned to go food-less for this one, but to my surprise they arrived with freshly-baked cookies. They weren’t chocolate chip cookies, though, because Gillian’s not a fan (please don’t cancel her).

Things discussed in the episode:
*Birdy’s love for alliteration. She’s a fabulously fun, fervent francophile.

*Gillian joins the “5 timers club,” while Birdy is right on the edge with her fourth appearance.

*Gillian’s reemergence after “this non-musical and extremely medical year.”

*The state of Hi Ho: New music on the way.

*Birdy Vee is known to warmly greet her community of fans when Sweetie takes the stage. She’s demure.

*Sweetie will release a new album (on vinyl!) in 2025.

*Birdy plays rugby. Don’t mess with her.

*The HOOF Fest, and why Gillian is such a fan of it.

*Gillian’s secret to building a band (Sweetie has a similar road map).

I don’t know if it was the holidays in the air, or just the combination of Gillian and Birdy, but holy shit, this episode was a lot of fun to record.
Please support these fine bands (for ZERO POINT ZERO DOLLARS) on December 30!
