A Fan | Ep. 29

Zach is a music fan, fan of the show, family man, barback, ice cream man, and bass player with a deep connection to the San Antonio music scene. He is a longtime supporter of the metal band Life Cycles and has known their guitarist, Chris Buckner, since high school. Zach loves going to shows, is looking forward to Sick New World in October, and brings a genuine fan’s perspective shaped by bands like Down, Pantera, Staind, Life Cycles, Korn, Snot, P.O.D., Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Porch Dream, A Perfect Circle, and Darkthrone. Outside of music, he shares stories about his favorite drinks, favorite ice cream, his love for Six Flags, the time Wemby visited the bar where he works, and how missing a hair appointment led him to start growing out his hair.

 

In this episode of the podcast, Nick Tello sits down with Zach for an unconventional but meaningful conversation about music, fandom, local shows, and the experiences that brought them together. They talk about how Zach first recognized Nick at Paper Tiger before a Life Cycles show, how they crossed paths again at an Upon a Burning Body show, and why Zach was curious about the significance of the dinosaur skull logo. Throughout the conversation, Nick and Zach discuss Zach’s favorite bands, his love of live music, playing bass guitar, San Antonio metal, ice cream, drinks, Six Flags, Sick New World, and the everyday stories that make Zach’s perspective feel honest, personal, and memorable.
