Three questions for Love Stallion – Episode 007 I have to know, what was it like opening for Steel Panther? Did you interact with them? I think it was probably a huge party, am I wrong? What is your favorite thing about playing in a Glam Rock band in the 2000s? When a fan goes to hear Love Stallion live, what will they see, hear, or experience that they won’t see, hear or experience when seeing another band live? – asked by Chip Dominick of Chip & the Charge ups Episode 006 The Song: Valentine Valentine is track 7 on Unforgettable Ride. It is a nostalgic tune about a love lost, and wishing for one more sweet taste before it’s gone forever. In the studio, we spent the most time on this one to make sure we captured just the right space and feel, and super proud it came out how it did. It seems to put us all in trance every time we hear or play it. I originally wrote Valentine on the piano and always wanted to share that version. So, I just released my first solo project in a long time called the “Valentine EP”, released Valentine’s Day 2019. About Love Stallion Band Location: Denver, CO USA Band Genre: Glam Rock Inspired by the “big rock” sound of the 1970s and ’80s, rock stars like David Lee Roth and Freddie Mercury, and dynamic bands like Van Halen, Kiss, and Def Leppard, Love Stallion is charging onto the music scene with original glamorous hard rock. The band’s high energy live performances, flamboyant wardrobes of sequins, spandex and leather, and their signature “Sexy Disco Legs” have placed Love Stallion in the spotlight among Denver’s hottest tickets.

Chip & the Charge Ups 3QS006

Three questions for Chip & The Charge Ups – Episode 006 If you could change one thing in the Pittsburgh scene, what would it be? How was the band’s stage attire chosen? What is it like to play in a band with your daughter? Do you ever find yourself battling between band member and dad? – asked by Jana of First Angel Media The Song: Sunshine, Take Me Away “Sunshine, Take Me Away” by Chip & The Charge Ups This song was inspired by the seemingly never-ending winters in Pittsburgh. Once we get into March, it seems us “yinzers” are dying to see what we haven’t seen in months: the sun! We are just tired of winter! But, being creative, we made the song metaphorical by describing a long-distance relationship where reunions are like seeing the sun after a long winter. Unlike the other songs on the album, this song was co-written and produced by Sean McDonald. Sean is known for his work with Frontiers Records artist Gene The Werewolf and The Clarks. About Chip & The Charge Ups Band Location: Pittsburgh, PA USA Band Genre: Power Pop Chip & The Charge Ups arrived like a bolt of lightning in Spring 2018! Pittsburgh’s Chip & The Charge Ups quickly created an electrifying buzz by performing its first shows at some of the East Coast’s fastest-growing music festivals. Cultivating a modern power pop sound that blends leading-edge alternative rock with old-school punk, the band captivated audiences with its energetic live performances and catchy songs. Chip & The Charge Ups’ debut single, “The Ol’ Two Niner,” is a staple on WDVE, an iconic radio station in Pittsburgh. The station uses the song as intro music for legendary Pittsburgh Penguins player and current radio announcer, Phil Bourque, when he makes his weekly morning show appearances. The band released their debut album, “Flow of the Current, Part I (+)” in September 2018 to rave reviews from the press and radio, such as: “Full of hooks and youthfully heartfelt lyrics” – Pittsburgh Current “A stellar release” – Empire Extreme “It’s no wonder Pittsburgh is shaking! Great music and tons of rock fun!” – BANGS Music & Entertainment Magazine “A band who knows music is meant to evoke a good time” – Rock All Photography Music Magazine “Definitely badass!” – The Pipeman, iHeart Radio Emboldened by the success of their debut release, Chip & The Charge Ups are set to release their sophomore effort, “Flow of the Current, Part II (-)”, on April 5, 2019.
