FaFa joins us this month on the podcast. The full band! Allie, Alex, Kevin & Ren!

We talk about what we’re all listening to. We talk to Ren about the closing of the WamLeg (she & Andreas owned it most recently; formerly Wallingford American Legion). We talk about some food and general Wallingford and general CT hot spots. Oh yeah, and playing music and what brought these particular individuals to form this band and how they’re style came to be and so on! And we stretch the conversation all directions out from all those odd directions.

The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (new episodes on the first of the month) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT USA. We are a record store that has a heavy emphasis on the left of center / underground music of the world. Whether it be underappreciated or just has a niche audience, marginalized or just off the radar it’s all of interest to us. With the show we’ll generally have a localized focus. We’ll discuss what is in our personal rotation at the moment. We’ll talk to guests who have to do with all of the above. And we’ll talk about specific dealings with the store. If you have input you’re welcome to contact us through email (redscroll@gmail.com). Oh, and please do subscribe! New episodes on the first of every month! (Subscribe on Android)(Subscribe elsewhere just by searching for us please!

This month we had a chat with Matt Westfall, owner of Counter Weight Brewing Co. We’ve known Matt for years through music (going to punk shows in our youth) and Counter Weight has been a venue for music here and there since it opened (originally in Hamden and now in Cheshire). It’s also where we hold an annual record fair (coming up in October again).  We talk about how Counter Weight is ramping up their events schedule with music and comedy and various other events. We also do talk about beer. It’s true. We talk about the Counter Weight accolades and how they like to take input from anyone under their roof and getting involved is highly encouraged – generally trying to teach from within and grow.

We don’t talk about sprint car racing or animating Bob’s Burgers (things done by other people with the name Matt Westfall).  We do talk about the role bocce has played in his life and the art and naming of beers. Conversation stretches out from there.

There is a show we’ll be selling records at coming up on July 6th, 2023:
Doors at 7:30PM / Music at 8:00PM
$10 (Shaki Presents)
Ratas En Zelo
Fafa
Spit-Take
