This week, we're scratching The Itch for a beginning! For the past couple of years, Father of Peace has been amassing a following across social media with their quirky songs, styles, and videos. Now, the trio of Avshalom Ariel, Tom Bolllig, and May Alpert have finally taken their music on the road... and across the world. After collectively moving from Israel to Los Angeles, they announced not only their first tour, but their first shows ever. And before most of the dates sold out, Aaron just happened to snag tickets to the very first one at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, where he came back with tales of charming merch, a fully invested crowd, and how apparently we're all now part of a band.

Where our previous episode explored what it's like for a band to end well, this one completes the circle of life by discussing what it's like to navigate the music scene as a new band, where expectations can feel impossible and skepticism can feel inescapable.

But a spoiler alert for this act: The hype is real, and the future is bright. Hello, Father of Peace. Welcome to the world. Enjoy.
