NIck & Andy: Bands That Should Quit, Bad Managers, and the Wedding Grift
Monday, 26 January, 2026
Andy Frasco and Nick ditch the guest format and go fully unfiltered on this episode of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, tackling one of the most honest conversations in the jam-band world, including who needs to quit and why. The episode spirals into a ruthless (and mostly bleeped) breakdown of bands that should probably hang it up, bands that should come back, and why the scene feels oversaturated right now. From there, the target shifts to managers, why so many are five years behind, terrified of other managers, and still throwing money at the same tired marketing playbook. They also dig into the state of the music industry, from festival economics and oversaturation to why so many bands refuse to quit and why managers keep recycling the same outdated ideas. It's an inside look at how scenes get clogged, why presales matter, and what actually hurts live music in 2026. Producer Jack drops in to relive his destination wedding in Barbados, which was launched by a brutally honest rant about weddings, bridal showers, and the social pressure to spend thousands to prove you're "supportive." From gift fatigue to travel weddings and the misery of being too high up in the wedding party, Andy and Nick argue that the only winning move is being the seventh-best friend.
