Sluggo Cawley has been in bands most of his life. From Hullaballoo and Aint to The Grannies and REQ'D, Sluggo has spent over four decades creating guitar-based mayhem.

A longtime friend, we have an in-depth conversation that digs into the stories behind the music: the chaos, the creativity, the hard-won wisdom and the pure joy of staying creative and making noise. With an art degree in hand tempered with the perspective of a veteran of punk rock, Sluggo looks back over the years, many of those experiences covered with the release of his first book GUITARGONAUT, an often funny, unfiltered chronicle of a life lived without compromise.

In this episode, a conversation with Bootsy Holler — the lens-and-light maestro who captured the raw energy, the DIY grit, and the creative perseverance of Seattle's indie, rock and punk music. With her new book MAKiNG iT: An Intimate Documentary of the Seattle Indie, Rock & Punk Scene, 1992‑2008, Bootsy talks about her journey — from a young photographer showing up at clubs with a camera and her passion, to witnessing and framing a cultural moment that has since attained mythic status. We discuss some of the bands that defined the period, but also the artist behind the lens: how she navigated being a woman in that scene, how photography became her tool of memory and connection, and how her book is both a chronicle of an era and a personal blueprint to the unapologetic drive needed to make art.
