If you thought the Buck would stop here; you are correct! Bucky Lasek zoomed into the program with a great chat including topics of growing up in Baltimore, living on a boat, coming to California, having a bowl in his backyard, F1 racing, the complete circle of sponsors(starting with Powell and ending with Powell), Vans Combi Masters and Legends divisions, crashing his car during a Gopro course preview, the Olympics, the invention of the switch Fall Guy and much much more…

Imagine having this beast of a bowl in your backyard…

I looked up what the symbol for 20th anniversary was and it said: “traditional gift is china, and the modern 20-year anniversary gift is platinum.” Well for 20 years of Hightower, Im hoping all their albums go triple platinum and the band gets a world tour ending in China. Dave Fallis, Jake Palladino, Shane Medanich have all three been bros for days and their band Hightower has been ‘instrumental’ in many a SF party and beyond. Listen up kids, we’re talking Robstock, the 1040 house where it all began, bbq’s and skating on the road, from touring with S.T.R.E.E.T.S. to opening for Bad Brains, phone calls from Halsey, Magnethead, Weibust, and Sean John… there’s a lot going into this one, but I’ll let you decide what the highlights are. Listen up and when you’re done, head over to Bandcamp and get some of if not all their tunes. This is HIGHTOWER!!!

Joey has been the lead singer for the legendary punk band D.O.A. for over 40 years and is currently the city concillor in Burnaby, BC Canada. We sprinkle a little politics in but mostly we discuss early life in Canada, starting a band, playing one their first show in SF and meeting Jello Biafra, and more. We also listen to some of his favorite songs from the band with little stories about each one and we end the conversation with a discussion on our thoughts about the greatest American punk band of all-time.

Joey’s working on a documentary entitled “Something Better Change” that will be coming out in 2023—if you’d like to help fund it go to their kickstarter page.
