This week, Brian Klemm, guitarist for Orange County ska-punk favorites Suburban Legends, joins us to craft the ultimate Disney playlist—20 songs spanning movies, TV shows, and classic cartoons that have captured the hearts of generations. 

We also dive deep into Suburban Legends’ unique connection to Disney, including their high-energy, dance-filled live shows at Disneyland—events that became a rite of passage for many local fans. Beyond their Disney performances, we explore the band’s non-Disney ska-punk material, showcasing their versatility and playful energy. Brian also shares the story behind their quirky cover of Andrew Gold’s “Thank You For Being A Friend” (yes, the theme from The Golden Girls), the enduring friendships that have kept the band together, and plenty of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that give a peek into their decades-long journey in music.

Whether you’re a Disney fan, a ska-punk enthusiast, or just love a good story, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and a touch of magic.
