Doug Carnahan of After the Fall comes on episode #3 of Podcast your Scene: Throwdown to join Bill, Brian, and John and discuss what it is like to be a front man. Bill asked the boys the following questions: Are the monitors really always as bad as you guys think they are on stage? How would you have handled the situation that Mariah Carey was in on New Year’s Eve? When did you know you wanted to sing in a rock band, and why? In each of your eyes, what do you believe it takes to be the front man of a rock band? Have you ever made a decision to do a stunt on stage that you realize that maybe you shouldn’t have done that and lost your place in the song? Do you have any embarrassing stories from you time in bands? What is your favorite part about being in the spotlight and being the front man of your band? If there was one thing that you wanted your fans to know, what would it be? The guys told some very interesting road stories, as well as, information from each of their respective backgrounds. At one point, they talk about finding the correct woman that understands what you have to be as a front man to be able to keep your personal and band relationships in check. The guys also talked little bit about their respective scenes. We also did a little bit of a biography of Tony Marinacci which will lead us into next month’s episode of Podcast Your Scene: Throwdown, where we will be talking about the state of local entertainment. This was an annual thing that Tony wrote for his website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUxdtXrCJ6U Give us some Feedback: Subscribe, Review, & Rate us on iTunes Subscribe, Review, & Rate us on MixCloud Subscribe, Review, & Rates us on Google Play E-mail: feedback@buildthescene.com Call Us: 724-568-7018 Join Our Mailing List

Kill the Drama of the Basement Recordings

March 4, 2016 Build the Scene All Podcasts, pars Comments Off on Kill the Drama of the Basement Recordings

  Bill joins Kill the Drama in their practice studio for some chat and live music. Segment 1: Bill talks to them about their current recording process, which they mention is very different than how they used to do it. During segment one, they play their song The Frail and the Fray (Live) for us! They are planning on recording in volume first, and then cut a few songs, b side a few songs, and go from there. That transitioned into a discussion about digital vs cd vs vinyl, and we even talk about 8 tracks. Bill then asked the band to discuss the state of the local scene and how it has morphed over the years. The first segment ended with them playing The Burning Streets (live) in their studio. Segment 2: Opens with with a live, brand new track from Kill the Drama entitled Insurresurrection. They then discussed the logistics of the Stone Temple Pilots’ holding “open” auditions on the internet to replace their lead singer. Which changed the focus of the conversation to how Brian joined Kill the Drama and a bit of the history of the band and bands from the AK Valley. I also gave the band a chance to talk about the support that our local radio stations provide for the local scene. This segment ends with Kill the Drama playing another brand new song live for us, Caught in the Shadows. Segment 3: The band talks about when Brian tried out for the band and how they got the name Kill the Drama. They also talk about being the judges favorite band in the Graffiti Rock Challenge, but not actually winning the competition. They also explain why KTD decided to return to the stage. And since the conversation had wavered into the world of the major rock scene, we discussed Motley Crue calling it quits and Steven Tyler’s crossover to country music. We end the segment with one more brand new track played live by KTD, Ophelia Mary Grace.
