Karl Blau makes his fourth appearance on Low Profile- first as featured guest back on episode 29, and then taking over the show producing interviews with Temple of Bon Matin and Hermit Thrushes. Now episode marks his first appearance on the program as a live performer, with a smoking hot quartet behind him. After the performance, we discuss his goings on in Philadelphia and back here in the Pacific Northwestern United States. Good thing this was an early show, he had to head to a gig down in Portland right after. Enter Olympia’s own Tim McBride and the Divide, a band that started just in time for the global pandemic and re-emerged about a year ago, uncaging a skillfully crafted world of punk rock storytelling. Tim and co. stick around for a disarming round of “gotcha journalism.”

This episode was recorded live on July 9th, 2023 at the Scherler Sundays with Markly Morrison concert series in downtown Olympia, in the parking lot of Three Magnets Brewing Company.
