Hi, I'm Jay from San Diego.

I'm Chase from Seattle.

I'm Jamie from New York City.

Bullseye with Jesse Thorne is produced independently and supported by listeners like you and me.

You should support the show like I did.

It's easy to visit maximumfund.org slash donate.

I'm Jordan Morse.

The influential punk band Red Cross was started in the late 70s by two brothers, neither

of which were even old enough to drive.

Their first gig was an opening slot for Black Flag, but the show wasn't in a punk club.

8th grade graduation party, I'm 11, he's 15.

We're in this living room, you know, straight off like freaks and geeks or whatever.

But you know, all these kids, you know, they're all like, you know, feathered hair, feathered

roachcliff, ear rings and pukeshells.

So they're expecting you to play a fog hat cover.

And we played who are the mystery girls at New York Dolls Cover.

It's Bullseye.

This week I sit in for Jesse Thorne and talk to Red Cross, the band that influenced

genres from punk to grunge about their influences from Deep Purple to Ziggy Stardust.

And I asked where they disappeared to for almost a decade.

Plus, Matt Bronger turns a minor argument with a friend into a serious comedy career.

The Todd Berry delivers good news, some household chores might be worth skipping for 10 years.
