The Drunk Rock Show PARS512

April 24, 2020 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars 1:02:07 Comments Off on The Drunk Rock Show PARS512

Neil Donnelly of The Drunk Rock Show and Drunk Rock Reacts came to chat with Bill to talk about the scene, candy, and answer some questions. Neil provides Podcasts and YouTube content focused on music, film/television, and pop-culture. Neil, why don’t you give the listeners an idea of what The Drunk Rock Show is about? Recently, you started doing some videos. What exactly are you doing there? How do you come up with the questions that you are going to ask the bands? If you could forget an album that you love so that you could you hear it again for the first time, which album would you forget? If you could back in time for a year and follow a band around, who would you follow? If you could sit on a bench with anyone from the history of the world, who would you sit with and what one question would you ask them? Find out why DC’s Legends of Tomorrow characters are really just sidekicks and not superheroes. If you could interview any musician, who would you pick? You become the CEO of a record label, what band from the Pittsburgh scene would you sign first? Who made your logo? We talked about about getting kids to go to sleep, which took us into a tangent about candy, yes candy! What is your favorite movie about music? What sponsors would you love to have? What is Neil’s “stupid” degree? Why/How did Bill decided he wanted to be a 4th grade teacher? Find out why Neil took a hiatus with his shows. What is one thing that fans of The Drunk Rock Show would be surprised to learn about you? (You might not believe this one) How can we find you on social media? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zM3-6F738

April 17, 2020 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars 1:01:01 Comments Off on For COS and Country – Mick Michaels PARS511

Mick Michaels of the band Corners of Sanctuary out of Philadephia Joins Bill on Episode 511 to talk about their new EP For COS and Country, how the Cornonavirus has affected the band, the shortening of their European tour, trying to play live and practice over the internet, Judas Priest, KISS, Vinnie Vincent, Cartoon characters and actors portraying the band, and more… Corners of Sanctuary were previously on Episode 495. Segment 1 Questions: For COS and Country How has the stay at home order blown up the bands plans? (HINT: Keep an eye out for free downloads) We talked about the possibility of new music coming out of the current situation and hopes that people are handling it well. Mick tells us a bit about the band and some of their influences and what they are “labeled” as. Mick talks about their European tour being shortened due to the Coronavirus. They had been told that the next flight out from Manchester was going to be May 6. They are working on on rescheduling the tour, possibly around some tentative dates that they have scheduled for February of 2021. We learn about the track, The Raid (For God and Country), which you can download for free off of their website. We talk about their video that was recorded in Germany, and 2 new ones for “Victoria” and “Sandstorm Salvation” that they recorded while they were in England (see below). They premiered on the Lockdown Rockdown on Saturday, April 11, 2020 (see below). Segment 2 Questions with Mick Michaels If I was flipping through my Social Studies book and we get to the pages about what happened during this time in history and the Coronavirus, and there is a section on your band. What would that section be about? If there was an apocalyptic situation on Earth and a handful of people and one song from each band survives, which Corners of Sanctuary song should survive? If you could sit down on a bench and talk to any musician and pick his/her brain, who would you pick and what would you ask? If someone was going to make a movie about your band, what actor would play each of you? Carrot Top? Tom Cruise? At this point, Mick shares their social media accounts for you to follow. If a major band comes to you after the stay at home order is rescinded, who do you wish it would be? Christina from The Shadow Event asks: How would you describe your sound, and which cartoon characters would you pick to play your band in a video? If you could join a band that you idolized, not necessarily replace anyone just join as a new member, what band would you want to join? What would your KISS face paint be? This leads to a long conversation about the band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr9tLq5mbzY

Segment 1 He talks about his first time he did a holoflash design on a drum kit for Keith Hawkins formerly of the Loudini Rock & Roll Circus podcast. We learn that they do custom paint jobs as well. We did have a bit of trouble using the internet to do this podcast, so we went a bit old school and used an iRig, cell phone, and a mixer to record this episode. Segment 2 with Wolf’s Customs If you had an hour to sit on a bench with anyone in the history of the world, and ask them anything, who would you sit with and what would you ask them? (He is a Steelers fan!) If I was flipping through my Social Studies book, and I found a page in it about Chris Thunderwolf Dodson, what would that section of the book be about? If you could go back in time and follow any 1 band around for a full year, which band would you choose and why? We talk a bit about genres at this point… If you were in the movie Almost Famous, what band do you wish you were doing your first article on? If you could take an album that you love and forget about so that you can listen to again for the very first time, what album would you want to do that with? Tell us about how we can find you online. Has Lou sent his guitar to you yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf2ZO9kE3W8
