Bat Wings For Lab Rats Podcast

Brian and Chris from Vertigo Venus are with us this week to discuss high school gym class memories, post 9/11 bigotry, politics in music, and upcoming music projects: 2 new Vertigo Venus albums this year, and Bat Wings For Lab Rats are heading to Vegas to record in a couple weeks! At one point we make Hetfieldian noises for a good 30 seconds straight. Kip drops by for a minute, too! Also, we debut a brand new VV song!
