Welcome back! Our guest this episode is James Joseph, front person for James and The Cold Gun. James and The Cold Gun recently opened for Duff McKagan on our European tour and when they came to the US to do a west coast run with Thunderpussy I jumped at the opportunity to catch up with James and get him on the podcast. James is charming and funny, the band is great, and I hope you enjoy this episode! Check out James and The Cold Gun's new album, Face In The Mirror, coming April 25 (2025) and in the meanwhile they've released 3 singles from the new LP: Guessing Games, Cut the Brakes, and most recently Above The Lake.
