Episode 45- Ian Courtney (Through Thick and Thin, Hawk I, Coalition, Detroit Diamonds, Stage Dive) - a podcast by Enterprise Hardcore Podcast

On this episode I had the opportunity to chat with my old friend Ian Courtney. Even though he is from Detroit, I used to run into Ian frequently in the early 2000s. We first met in Toronto and I would see him in many other places after that, all because of hardcore of course. We talk about a lot of these experiences, as well as the bands Ian played in. The main bands are Through Thick and Thin, Hawk I, Detroit Diamonds, and Stage Dive. We also talk about many of the bands Ian has filled in for and roadied for (Varsity, Coalition, Life Set Struggle, The Final Plan, Desperate Measures, Detroit Birds, RZL DZL, Poison the Well, Cold As Life, Trephine, and Lion of Judah). There's some pretty cool tour stories sprinkled into our conversation for sure. Obviously, Michigan Hardcore is discussed as well. Ian spent a year in South Florida in 1999 so we talk a bit about the scene there at that time. We also spend a good amount of time talking about booking hardcore shows, something I'm pretty familiar with. Having been involved in the movie industry for most of the last two decades, Ian is now working on his debut feature film Movie Theater Massacre. As always it was good to catch up with an old friend.
