Nils Rasmussen Returns! - Musician (Uncle Outrage)

Nils Rasmussen Returns! Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Nils Rasmussen even more. Nils first appeared on the show on 9.30.24. In this episode, we chat about what Nils has been up to since we last spoke. In that time, he has recorded and released another album. 'Probably Robots' is the newest record by Nils Rasmussen A.K.A. Uncle Outrage. I pepper him with questions about his last record 'Greatest Shit', and the indie record label he hooked up with to make that vinyl release happen. Shout out to Peter Illing over at Cacophony Clan Records for making that happen. Nils shares some of the inspiration behind some of the songs on the new record, and then we dive into the very specific and uplifting culture of the Uncle Outrage fandom. The fans of Uncle Outrage are and have always been some of the most inclusive and welcoming group of folks. Some of these fans have followed the band for nearly 20 years. We do chat a bit about Nils' father, Gerry Rasmussen, the internationally renowned cartoonist & previous guest of the show. Along the way, we discuss the moon, aliens, robots, UFOs and UAPs, plus fan mail, Bandcamp, and the post Covid live show scene in the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Run over to Cacophony Clan Records to get the new album by Uncle Outrage, 'Probably Robots', or reach out directly to Nils for an autographed copy at the email address he gives at the end of the episode. Nils lets me play my favorite track from the new record "Make It Rot'! Keep your eyes peeled for the Nils Rasmussen / Uncle Outrage profile in Absolute Underground Magazine!
