Episode #25 - Nathan Crouch (Lugnut)

Jams for Man

Nathan Crouch formed the band Lugnut with Marc Williams on vocals, Brian Ballard on bass, David Swartz on the other guitar, and a series of drummers, Clay Wells, Zack Stanley, and finally Barney Rubble (né Jeff Robinson). They worked with some great producers and studios along the way, from Christian Quick and Stillness Sound, to Inner Ear Studios, and finally Jeff Juliano. Their 7”, Lugnutty Buddy, was released by Victrola Records thanks to label head Billups Allen. They hit some major milestones in playing DC Space, the old 9:30 Club, the Black Cat, and best of all—Jam for Man. They were the best times Nathan remembers from his youth, and he shares those memories here.
