With John Tobias
Total Tobias is mostly newish indie rock in many of its’ forms while genre hopping, decade hopping and language hopping sometimes all in one song
Tons of these bands are playing in a town near you soon. Go to a few. Have a good time.

Die Spitz is on my short list to see.
Rob from Maryland 🦀
8:11:32 PM
They're sold out in DC (not that I was going to go anyway). I hope you get to see them, John! I think it could be an amusing show
John Tobias (host)
8:11:54 PM
I think so
Rob from Maryland 🦀
8:13:35 PM
Snooper is a band I want to see. I hope they come back to DC soon

Woah, was that Gen and the Degenerates the first 2027 release played this year?
John Tobias (host)
10:22:28 PM
If so, I want some kind of trophy for being the first DJ to have a '27 stamp on a song.
John Tobias (host)
10:22:58 PM
I hope I remember to mention this on the air. Thanks for the reminder.
TAndy
10:24:46 PM
All out of 27 trophies, only 67 trophies. Sorry!
John Tobias (host)
10:26:35 PM
I'll keep it quiet on the creek for you.
Carlos Ramone
10:26:57 PM
John. I Did wear WPRB apparel to the show. Blue shirt with the Chef on it . No conversation was started because of it though
John Tobias (host)
10:29:18 PM
They were probably intimidated by your aura.
John Tobias (host)
10:33:46 PM
