Every performer who’s ever been on the road has at least one bizarro story that could have been pulled straight from the iconic music mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap. Co-hosts Allen Keller and Alex Hofmann delve deep into their guests’ harrowing, humbling, and hilarious Spinal Tap Moments uncovering universal truths along the way.

Alex, Allen, and Gretchen cherry pick the best Spinal Tap Moments from the show. Hear about the time Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein from Sleater-Kinney were left a “present” in their dressing room at Red Rocks; Rhett Miller tells us how the Old 97’s guitar player accidentally tripped balls during an appearance on Conan; Semisonic’s Dan Wilson shares the story about when he collaborated with Carole King at Allen’s house; and The Dandy Warhols’ Zia McCabe meets her hero, Willie Nelson, and it changes how she interacts with fans forever.
