Ep. 126: Colossal w/ Pat Ford

Colossal is an American indie rock band from Elgin, Illinois, United States, who formed in 2001.

Their albums are Brave the Elements, Welcome the Problems, and a split with Owen.

Their lyrics and musicianship display a depth much like that found in math rock.

I got Pat on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

• Potentially partying with him in Chicago in 2000
• His band "Flowers"
• The Elgin Scene
• Working for Milk Magazine
• Brendan Kelly’s podcast
• Being on Asian Man Records
• The stories behind the artwork for the albums
• What attire one should not wear on stage
• And a ton more

Fun fact, this was recorded during the storming of the Capital back in January, so we start off referencing that.
