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.

Tony Marinacci of Total Music & Entertainment used to put out a news post every February about the state of the Pittsburgh music scene. When he died, Bill vowed to keep up the tradition in his own way, by podcasting and blogging about it. You can find other podcasts on the Podcast Your Scene show, or blogs on AK Music Scene. In this episode Bill is joined by John “The American Hilljack” Lane of A Pro Radio, Xander Demos of XDB, and Zach Fehl of The Metal Edge to discuss all things Western PA Music.

Sooooo The American Hilljack dropped by to pick up a computer that Bill was fixing for him… and of course that turned into a podcasting scenario. We talked about some upcoming shows, played some new music (and some older) and generally just shot from the hip. It was a much needed return to the show. Give it a listen.

Three Vultures, The Real John Lane, joined us from Lisbon, OH to talk about their new release, Rebirth. He has a bit of the American Hilljack in him and we talked about any topics all over the map. We talked about the album and where to find it, cars, yondr and having to force people to listen to live music, and more. We also talked about gray hair…  yes gray hair. Make sure you read Lady Jaye’s Review of he Rebirth album on buildthescene.com Three Vultures is the brain child of Dustin Cutright. For as long as he can remember, he has wanted to be a musician that changed the way people felt and listened to music, and one that also opened the minds of his listeners. With Dustin’s atmospheric, edgy guitar playing combined with a raw vocal style, John Lane’s modern throwback to John Bonham in power and delivery, and the groove-filled, fullbottomed bass sound from Auston Dunnington, Three Vultures is a well-rounded rock band. Overall, 3V’s sound is the result of coming up in the angst filled small towns that litter the fallen Steel Valley. Dark and brooding, but vicious. Lashing out against a system infected with its own corruption and stale values.Taking influences from grunge, alternative, progressive, psychedelic, and stoner/desert rock for their music and life experiences for their lyrics, Three Vultures is a well rounded rock band.
