Episode 131: Chad Watchel #3 (Tijuana Panthers)

Episode Summary

Breaking Bad, cruising in a van across the country, and character building struggles. Chad Wachtel (Tijuana Panthers) Tijuana Panthers “Halfway to Eighty”- https://innovativeleisure.net/collections/tijuana-panthers/products/halfway-to-eighty "In one form or another, Tijuana Panthers have existed most of its members’ lives. Daniel Michicoff (bass/vocals), Chad Wachtel (guitar/vocals), and Phil Shaheen (drums/vocals) became friends when they were teenagers in Long Beach, California, and started playing music together soon after, eventually becoming one of the shining stars of the twenty-first century garage-rock revival scene—a (relatively) chill surf-rock-inspired complement to the ruckus of acts like Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees. But while many of their initial contemporaries have gone through lineup changes or thrown in the towel, the Panthers are hanging tough—and, in a sense, just hitting their stride."
