Vol.163: Longhaulin' with Bubbles & The Shitrockers: Tales from the Trailer Park
It’s not every day that Strange Grooves gets to sit down with a Canadian icon like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys, but guess what? We just did!
That’s right, #strangecrew. We packed up the little green machine and made the epic journey down to Halifax to interview Bubbles himself about his two new singles, his band's latest album, Longhauler, which dropped November 1st, and the much-anticipated movie coming out this December 6th, Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties.
This interview is particularly special for us because we have been die-hard Trailer Park Boys fans for over two decades! From watching Bubbles, Ricky, and Julian's shenanigans on TV to rocking with them at Queens Of The Stone Age back in April to sitting down with Bubbles and chatting about his killer music career—it’s a full-circle moment. And trust us, it was every bit as DEEECENT as you'd imagine!
Bubbles and The Shitrockers: Your New Favorite Band
Bubbles has been rocking out for years, but The Shitrockers are here to blow your mind. We had the honour of talking with Bubbles about his latest single and the new album that just dropped, and let us tell you—it’s friggin’ incredible. From the first chord, it’s obvious this isn’t just some side project. Bubbles teamed up with some legendary musicians, including none other than Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones and Actor and Musician Billy Bob Thornton of The Boxmasters. Yeah, you read that right!
We dove deep into how those collaborations came to be, and it turns out Bubbles’ musical talent knows no bounds. You know you're doing something right when you’ve got rock royalty like Ronnie Wood and Billy Bob on your record!
Bubbles also shows us the different versions of the vinyl album available. Record collectors and fans will want to take note!
If you haven’t already, you need to go crank up that new tune—seriously, stop what you’re doing and listen right now. We’ve had it on repeat since our interview. It’s the perfect mix of classic rock and Bubbles’ signature style. Friggin Awesome!
Bubbles in the UK and What’s Next
Bubbles also gave us the inside scoop on what’s been happening behind the scenes. He’s been spending a lot of time getting the album together and working with top-notch musicians. The energy of the British rock scene has clearly influenced the album, and you can feel it in every track. He’s got more on the horizon, too, but we’ll let you watch the interview for those juicy details.
We couldn’t resist asking about his new movie, which will be released on December 6th. Bubbles shared some hilarious stories from the set and hints at what’s coming next for the Trailer Park Boys. You don’t want to miss this film—it will be a wild ride, only in theatres!
