Funkytown Podcast

Sweet Dreamy Soundz Robby Rux, Sweet Dreamy Soundz

I've mentioned the name Robby Rux in a bunch of past podcast so now he is here. Robby and Jennifer Rux run Dreamy Soundz. We talk about recording on analog, old venues in town, and many many different bands. The show starts with a song from the Fibs called carbon monoxide and we talk about Robby playing in the Fibs and we talk about Preston aka Jack Thunder and Todd aka the Road Soda. Year of the Bear is played at the mid point (super 8) and we talk about that band and his buddy Josh Browning. We talk about lots of other dreamy soundz bands like Skeleton Coast, Fungi Girls, the Bitch Bricks and Solo Sol. We talk about the Jazz Confusion Comp and play Lazy Summers song Smiling from the comp. OH NO we forgot to talk about Slumberbuzz and Robby asked if we could play a track by Slumberbuzz. Right after we play Smiling we go right into Oh No by Slumberbuzz. I picked that track because of a discussion in the slumberbuzz podcast. If you havent heard it you can find it here on this page.
