Every time I have a band on Not a Side Show I sit back and listen to them play and think to myself that I hope this never ends. Thankfully there's 127 new bands formed every week in Utah, so there's a really good chance we will never run out of music. Doomcupcake was the guest on January 20, 2023. They rocked, the interview was perfect and hilarious, posting this podcast is so satifying. I hope you enjoy this and all the choice bands that've played on Not a Side Show.
