60 Minutes or less - Episode 29 - WAND

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for our 29th episode, we welcome visiting California quartet, WAND - current line-up featuring Cory Hanson, Robert Cody, Evan Backer and Evan Burrows.

An ear-splitting outfit of note, WAND have been rocking our world ever since we first saw their gnarly KEXP session in 2016 (and subsequently got to experience it all live months later at the Brudenell in Leeds). In July 2024, eight years on from the release of that formative KEXP session, WAND released their latest long player ‘Vertigo’ via the ever dependable Drag City, a really bloody good record.

With WAND in Manchester town to support the new record, we once again found ourselves in the beer garden of YES, one of the cities finest gig venues, to interview the headline act at the venue ahead of time. Because of this, this episode is a trifle loud - the band competing with car horns, piss-heads over the way and trains from above. But don’t sweat it, just try to imagine you’re in a noisy bar with WAND (because that’s pretty much the reality of the recording!)

You never know what you’re going to get when you head into an interview and little did I know that we’d mostly be talking about Matthew Perry’s autobiography, Afroman and Liam Gallagher making tea. Such is the gamble of a live interview.

On a sombre note, we recorded this interview a few days after the passing of Cory’s faithful canine companion. RIP to a real one.
