Photos credited to Marlon Fuller After a motorcycle ride down Studebaker Road to the duck pond and making a salad for his lizard, Shane Blanchard sat down to have a phone call with me. The 22 year old leads a life that is full of chill vibes. Along with writing songs, skate sessions at the El Dorado Skatepark, coined “The Doe”, is a regular activity for the Long Beach native. Though Shane’s life may seem pretty ordinary at first glance, over the past couple of years things ha

When initially asked to describe J Burd, frontman Jason Callanan said “a bedroom recording experiment.” A common characteristic of the DIY bedroom pop scene is low fidelity “fuzzy” recordings. When Jason first st

Aside from joining a local gym or getting a personal trainer, Long Beach is filled with many free or affordable workout activities. Here are some of our favorites! As the last day of school approaches, the season changes from spring to summer, vacations dates get closer, and sunny days feel hotter than usual. Our bikinis and swimming trunks are pulled out from the back of our closets, only for us to realize that we should not have slacked off on those new year resolutions of

There are many fairs put on by the schools in Long Beach, but none of them quite compare to the St. Joseph Parish Fair. In this week's 908 Show we explore the humble beginnings of the fair and how it transformed into the huge, fun extravaganza that it is today! #stjosephfair #fair #longbeach
