Bil Brown and Dave Anderson (DigHayZoose)

In this two-part episode series of The Rumors Are True podcast, host Jeremy Gould welcomes all four members of Dighayzoose — Bil Brown, Dave Anderson, Jimmi Florez, and Phil Schlotterer — for an in-depth and entertaining conversation about one of the most inventive and fearless bands to come out of the early ’90s alternative scene. Across both episodes, the band reflects on their origins in Kansas City, their time on R.E.X. Records, and the creative chaos that fueled albums like StruggleFish and MagentaMantaLoveTree. They share behind-the-scenes stories from recording sessions and touring days, exploring how their genre-bending blend of funk, punk, rock, and art-school experimentation set them apart from their peers. The discussion also dives into their spiritual and artistic philosophies, the dynamics between band members, and the legacy of Dighayzoose’s wild, uncompromising vision. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, this two-part series is a must-listen for anyone interested in boundary-pushing music and the creative spirit that defined a generation.
