It’s no secret that the In Defense of Ska crew loves them some Mike Park, the musician, ska aficionado, and Asian Man Records founder. So, this week, the gang invites another of Park’s fans — his best friend, Chris Candy — onto the show. Listen to Candy discuss Park, his own band Chotto Ghetto, Vans Warped Tour, and more above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Candy, the son of comedy legend John Candy, has a whole host of stories to share. Be it his hijinks playing in ska bands in his early days, his trips to Hawaii, his run-ins with figures like the legendary Stockton booker Middagh Goodwin, or directing music videos for Coldplay, the dude has certainly lived a life.
Elsewhere, the polymath also touches on photographer Hiro Tanaka, his acting experience, and (as promised) his close friendship with Park.
Listen to Chris Candy talk about all of this and more above, and make sure to like, review, and follow the series wherever you get your podcast. Don’t forget to check out all the Consequence Podcast Network series here.
Additionally, you can support the In Defense host Aaron Carnes by purchasing a copy the new expanded, 2nd edition of his book, In Defense of Ska. Meanwhile, Davis’ Omnigone released their latest record, Feral, last year.
