Accidental Rockstar with The Dare

Accidental Rockstar with The Dare

Author: Throwing Fits July 26, 2023 Duration: 1:39:30

On this week's interview with musical artist The Dare, the boys are rocking out. The Dare aka Harrison Patrick Smith showed up late as hell to jam out on wildly embarrassing bike accidents, living in a suited prison of his own design, getting your one tie back from a fan with grubby fingers, whether or not he's a sneaker influencer, his time spent in the vintage trenches, the massive responsibility of pushing the culture forward as the reluctant face of Indie Sleaze, his Mount Rushmore of NYC bands, how it was meeting James Murphy amidst all the LCD Soundsystem comparisons, the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of being wined and dined by major label A&Rs, how to blow your signing bonus, getting roasted as a substitute teacher in Brownsville, his extremely hairy ass, all our favorite lines from Pitchfork's glowing 5.8 review of his debut The Sex EP, Q freaks vs. Music Twitter, insane death threats from even more insane people, the direction he plans on taking his music, does he have barz, your friends smashing to your music, yes more parties in LA, a quick game of Truth or Dare with The Dare, chilling with the god Hedi Slimane, the freakiest shit that's gone down at his must hit Freakquencies party, tips for finessing the list and securing DJ requests, just how spicy are his DMs now that he's clouted, the redacted best worst first date odyssey he can't really talk about, groupie runoff and much more on this sexy and sleazy episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
