In this episode of ‘The Hang!’, The Dirty Turkeys — Sam Baker, Ty Tullar, Brad Hansen and Russ Hansen — hang with Scott Saldinger to unpack how childhood friendships, basement jams and wildly different musical influences became one seriously unpredictable band.
This interview explores why The Dirty Turkeys would rather build a genuine community one live show at a time than change their music to chase algorithms. They also get into their explosive live performances, the strange origin of their band name, the creation of “Under Your Spell,” and why staying human matters as AI-generated music and content become more common.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How The Dirty Turkeys created their “Acid Cow Punk” sound
• Why “Under Your Spell” feels like a breakthrough for the band
• How live shows and word of mouth built their fan community
• Why authenticity matters more to them than instant viral fame
You’ll also hear about Cowboy Caravan, their creative process, dream collaborators, favorite artists, their move toward San Francisco and the next chapter with Soul Sugar.
If you love psychedelic rock, garage rock, surf rock, punk, outlaw country or bands that refuse to stay inside genre lines, meet The Dirty Turkeys.
