This is a weekly dive into the musical mind of Bergo '45. Each week, a new song is chosen by a different member of the band. Check out the playlist to see all of the past selections. Grab a towel and give it a listen....


The Pop-O-Pies are a punk band from San Francisco founded by Joe Pop-O-Pie (Joe Callahan) that got their start by repeatedly playing a cover of The Grateful Dead's "Truckin' ". Though the band went through many line up changes, notably featuring members of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, and bass guitarist/songwriter Mike King, several albums would follow.

The White EP is the recording debut of San Francisco punk group Pop-O-Pies. The six-song EP includes their cover of the Grateful Dead classic Truckin', which in late 1981, was consistently the most requested song on the San Francisco college radio station KUSF for several months in a row. In 1982, Jerry Garcia heard it and immediately became a big fan of the band.
