Geek Girl Riot is bringing you a new TV update—the good, the bad, and the we-got-a-lotta-feelings…and our Rioters get a lil silly & hyped up on eggnog.
The Rockstar Dad Show is inviting a rockstar family to the air this week! Listen in as Rick, Miles, and Daxx Nielsen join Jaret and Gary for a conversation.
As the lead guitarist of Cheap Trick, Rick Nielsen has lived an interesting life and his sons have followed in his footsteps with their own careers in music. Daxx is a drummer who’s played with many bands over the years, including with Cheap Trick. Miles is the frontman of a band called Mike Nielsen and The Rusted Hearts (more on that in a bit).
When the group calls in they look back at their history both personal and professional, from stories about Guns n’ Roses to family dynamics while touring. They also chat about The Nielsen Trust, quarantining with kids, being versatile with your music and more. Tune in and make sure you stick around until the end to hear “Hands Up” by Miles’s band!

It’s only going to take a single listen for every song to implant itself in your head, but Girlfriends has the kind of lasting value you’ll want to have as a permanent part of your music collection.
This week we chat with Chrissy Costanza, who first rose to fame as the lead singer of Against the Current and has since become one of the most recognizable female voices in gaming. We find out about how Chrissy first met her bandmates, Will Ferri and Dan Gow, and how they quickly caught the attention of label Fueled By Ramen (Warner Music, home of Twenty One Pilots, Panic! At The Disco, All Time Low, and more).
After a critically acclaimed debut album and a sold-out world tour, Chrissy was approached by Riot Games in 2017 to be the voice of the League of Legends anthem “Legends Never Die”, which has had over 200 million streams. 2020 has kept Chrissy in the studio with her ATC bandmates working on their forthcoming album which is sure to be their breakthrough offering, as well as embarking on hosting her own show as one of the founding talents on the gaming x music culture network, Venn.
