Derrick and Jeff welcome rambunctious cover band Medicine Hat, introducing bassist “Ruckus,” guitarist Robert Herndon, and drummer Stix Mayfield (wearing a “Butthole Whisperer” shirt), while ribbing absent members Kevin Gamble (lead singer), Chris Horner (guitarist), and Krista (Kevin’s wife/manager). The band shares how Medicine Hat formed from the Delta Coalition, their goal of packing dance floors with singalong covers across genres (from Garth Brooks to Culture Club), and a recent gig where a fight broke out during “Wipe Out.” They discuss influences (SRV, Artimus Pyle, Tommy Aldridge, Zoltan Chaney, Duff McKagan), gear (Sabian cymbals, Ddrum kit, guitars, modelers), and bass rigs/pedals, plus promote upcoming shows.
