On the podcast Worst Gig Ever, Geoff Garlock (Orchid, Panthers, the Year Is One, Low Estate, UCB Theatre) wallows in the crapulance of what it takes to be a musician in this world, with different guests sharing their own hilarious horror stories every week. On this episode, Michael Berdan, frontman of NYC industrial-punk outfit Uniform, talks about that time he smelled smoke during one of the band's shows and realized their PA is on fire, and he digs into his deep affinity for gore cinema, reveals why he's "grateful" he's not who he was 15 years ago, and discusses the violent old hardcore scene in Philadelphia (including fights during Burn the Priest shows) with gangs, guns and people beating each other with bricks.
