E105 - Bonus - In Conversation with BILL GOFFRIER from The Embarassment and Big Dipper - a podcast by O3L Media

Part two of the three part O3L extravaganza with the marvelous Bill Goffrier from The Embarrassment and Big Dipper!

Hear nearly a half hour of our conversation with Bill that we couldn't fit into Episode 105. 

Bill came up in the Wichita, KS punk rock scene of the late '70s, with The Embarrassment forging their own unique, nervy, nerdy brand of music that they dubbed "blister pop."  After the seminal group disbanded in 1983, Bill headed east to Boston to pursue a painting career, before getting drawn back into the music world with Big Dipper.  From 1985 - 1991, Big Dipper released three critically lauded indie albums before signing to major label Epic for what would turn out to be the fourth and final album of their initial run.  More recently, both bands have reunited throughout the years and Bill has returned to Wichita to fulfill his destiny as a renowned painter.We delve into the history of both The Embos&Big Dipper, the development of the Wichita scene, the legendary house parties, major label woes, his art career, and much more!

Stay tuned for one more episode that we've culled from our time with Bill.  April 7, 2022: O3L After Dark, Volume 2
