Build the Scene
Six Bar Break – a lil bit o' Country
In segment 1 of this episode with Six Bar Break from Harrisburg, PA, we start things off by talking about the band’s influences and genre that they play. Bill even got in a few of his KISS references early on. The band introduced us a bit to the Harrisburg musics scene and talked about the best and worst parts of where they are located. If you listen closely, it sounds very in line with our scene. Segment 2 started out with us finding out how they came up with the name Six Bar Break and their most embarrassing moment on stage (that may have been the sound guys fault). Bill then asked about the building of the band over the years. Bill asked them to talk about some of their favorite unsigned bands from the Harrisburg scene, next. Bill followed up by asking them to create a superband from their scene with the stipulation that they were the manager and were not allowed to play in the band in any way.

For episode 409 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show, Bill took the show on the road and hung out with Dragline at their practice space. The change of the location didn’t change the chaos of the interview process. We talked about just about everything from our kids to concerts that we’ve been at. We talked about how the band formed from the ashes of the Midnight Plowboys and some history behind the band. Jimmy then told us about the making of their original song, Rock and Roll Machine which we played during our break. In segment 2, we learn a bit more about the band and their influences, what makes the band tick, in a round-about way we find out which of their originals the members think is the best, & just plain thinking questions… Jimmy, Jay, and Mike made their own unsigned super group from bands that they have played with over the years.
