Punk icon, outspoken activist, knowledge dropper and all around rebel rouser John The Baker (vo-killist for FUCKTARD/ INSTANT ASSHOLE/ The MALNOURISHED & solo) will be live in the Rad Val studio chatting about this weekend’s SKATE TIL U DIE uber extreme skate-a-thon. Ami Lawless (host of Cold Ones & Rolled Ones) has been talking this epic Bay Area event up over the past few weeks and its now do or die time…literally. John is the creator and annual participant in SKATE TIL U DIE, now in it’s fifth year. Over this coming weekend John and a motley crue of crazy punx will be skating from Richmond CA to San Jose Ca, a trek of 66 miles….and lets not forget that a few of them will be playing with their respected bands after each days skate-a-thon session. This is the punx equivalent of the X-Games but way fucking cooler. Last year about 40 participants started out and only 8 crossed the finish line after pushing their bodies to the extremes. John will also bring his guitar to the studio this evening in order to please our quiet ears with some of his classic punx stylings. Maybe we can get him to play some of his songs that have been banned in Germany.be sure to tune in for the chaos from 6:00-8:00pm tonight Thursday M

Ahoy dear listeners! On tonight’s fine episode of Cold Ones & Rolled Ones with Ami Lawless (AKA Thee only radio show that matters), guests will be skater/musicians Brandon Bailey and Jared Power; who are two of the extreme bad ass skaters that will be participating in Skate Til U Die. For those unfamiliar, Skate Til U Die is an epic skate-a-thon that is in its 5th year of existence here in the Bay Area. The brain child, so to speak of punk icon John The Baker (last week’s guest on Cold Ones) and his buddy (and at the time housemate) Jared Power. About 6 years ago these two fine fellas had the idea to skateboard from Richmond CA down to San Jose CA in order to hang out with their homies who had always been coming up to Richmond to hang out. It took them 19 hours from beginning until they reached their destination. A little beaten down and weary, they dusted themselves off, patted themselves on the back and shared their experience with friends all over the Bay Area. We were all blown away at the physical feat these two endured in order to hang out with their South Bay homies. Now this is one extreme expression of true friendship! The following year the dynamic duo decided it was time to do it again; but this time invite more folks to participate and raise some money for charity. This is how Skate Til U Die was born…now its five years later and going strong as ever. The other intriguing part to this skate-a-thon is that our boys John and Jared incorporated their other love; punk-fucking-rock into the equation. Skate Til U Die takes place over 3 days and at the end of each day of skating punk bands play and the party ensues. This is every teenage punk rawkers dream weekend = skating ones flesh off topped off with some of the Bay Area’s finest punk bands tearing down the house. Tune in for a chat with two dudes that have truly given their blood, sweat and tears to Skate Til U Die. Both Brandon and Jared have been integral elements in each Skate Til U Die and this year is no different, both these guys will be playing each night with their respective bands after hours of skating. Something that should not be missed.

Once upon a time back in the day, uhum the 90′s…there was this little band called HOLE fronted by the infamous Courtney Love. The band put out several albums, toured the world and had some noted controversy throughout its run. Through the Live Through This album era (1992-1998), the bands hard hitting female drummer Patty Schemel started keeping a video diary of all things going on in her chaotic life. From the critical rise of HOLE – to sharing a house with good friends Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love and their daughter Frances Bean; Patty was able to gather enough footage to put together a cohesive and intriguing look at her life and the world she shared with her band-mates and friends from that tumultuous time. Patty is quite upfront and speaks frankly about her days being strung out, finding out when dear friend Kurt Cobain took his own life and the ensuing aftermath as well as when friend and band-mate Kristen Pfaff OD’d, leaving the band to end up living on the streets of L.A. selling herself for dope and then her eventual climb from the depths of the gutter back to sobriety…all with a quick sense of humor and the kind of brutal honesty that is rare in today’s music industry. The documentary titled Hit So Hard; The Life & Near Death of Patty Schemel , directed by Schemel’s friend P. David Ebersole will be showing at The Roxie here in the Mission from Friday April 27th- Thursday May3rd. Patty and documentary director P.David will be live on Cold Ones & Rolled Ones with Ami Lawless this Thursday April 26th. Tune in and hear a true rock and roll life story.
